Celestrial Scallop Mix ~  These Patty Pan-type squash are an intriguing mix of colors. Includes dark green, pale green, white, pale yellow, bright yellow and even striped pie-shaped fruits. Used in colorful baby vegetable dishes and pickling or teacup-size for steaming, baking or stir-fry.

Golden Delight ~ Golden-yellow, straight neck, zucchini-type fruits are very uniform smooth and glossy with little to no greening on their tips. Well suited for use as a baby vegetable or let them grow to optimal 7 to 8 inch size. Creamy- white flesh is tender and delicious

Costata Romanesco ~ This distinctive zucchini is medium gray-green, with pale green flecks and prominent ribs. Much better flavor than hybrid zucchini, clearly better textured, nutty, and delicious, raw or cooked. A good producer of heavy male blossom buds for cooking.

Pool Ball Mixture ~ You'll love these little dandies! Harvest the colorful round zucchini when fruits are 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Use them for stuffing, shish kabobs, soups or any recipe calling for summer squash.

Scallop Early White ~   Flying saucer shaped fruits look like they will soon spin right out of your garden. Kids love the look of these great little squashes and makes it easier to get them to eat them. Creamy, tasty texture makes these little squashes great for many dishes.
