(64t days). This high-yielding, large (7-inch-long), hybrid Italian sweet pepper, a grilling type, turns red in 80 days.

(68 days). This reintroduced heirloom is known for heavy production of 10- to 12-inch-long curled pods on tall, well-branched plants.

(50 days). This vigorous, dark green hybrid okra, an All-America Selections winner, produces high yields and stays tender even when large. Testers who like growing and eating okra appreciated the more compact growth, beautiful flowers, and consistent yields.

(85 days). A more vigorous, compact, and productive version of the heirloom 'Jenny Lind'. Fruits are 1 1/2 pounds with sweet orange flesh.

(60 days). All the pods on this dark green, high-yielding bush bean mature at once. It is great for freezing and canning.

(85t days). An improved version of 'Tappy's Finest', with more uniform fruits and red color. The sweet, meaty fruits and the insect and disease resistance are similar to the original.

(86t days). This indeterminate 10-ounce red tomato isn't fancy, but it produces dependably until frost

(50t to 55t days). Determinate vines produce larger, firmer, and more crack-resistant fruits earlier than other early varieties such as 'Sub-Arctic Maxi'.

(75 days). This hybrid cross between a Charentais and a typical cantaloupe has Charentais flavor, but ripeness is easier to tell by the color change on the skin.

(60 days). This gynoecious (produces mostly female flowers) slicing cucumber produces huge 10-inch, burpless fruits. Testers were impressed with hybrid plants' ability to withstand adverse weather. Flavor is average, but fruits contain only a few large seeds.

(75 days). A bicolor hybrid that's as sweet as the supersweets (Sh2) but with the vigor, yield, and cold-soil performance of a sugar-enhanced (SE) variety.

(70 days). This reintroduced heirloom produces 7- to 9-inch-long roots that keep well in winter storage.

(55 days). A stronger-growing, more weather- and disease-tolerant version of this very slender type of green bush bean. The stringless, 4-inch-long beans grow high on the plant for easy picking.

(42t days). This determinate hybrid variety produces fruits the size of 'Early Girl', but 12 days earlier.

(55 days). An exceptionally early dwarf yellow sweet corn developed in Alaska. It has excellent tolerance of cold soil conditions.

(67 days). An earlier-maturing version of the sugar-enhanced (SE) hybrid 'Kandy Korn'. Testers liked the compact, sturdy stalks but judged flavor no better than that of other early yellow varieties.

(58t days). Vigorous hybrid plants produce 3-pound dense, creamy white heads.

(50 days). This high-yielding, excellent-flavored bean is one of the earliest yellow bush beans available.

(55t days). This heirloom dwarf produces 6- to 8-ounce orange-red fruits that are larger and more flavorful than those of most early tomatoes.

(65t days). This indeterminate heirloom yellow cherry tomato is the most flavorful of any of the yellow cherry tomatoes on the market.
