Vegetable Cultivar Descriptions for North America List 24

This list of the North American vegetable cultivars was developed using the database of cultivars registered with the American Seed Trade Association, as well as published descriptions from scientific journals and seed catalogs. Assistant editors responsible for each crop were instructed to obtain as much information as possible about the cultivars available to North American growers. The crop species are listed alphabetically, with cultivars listed alphabetically within each of those. The information about each cultivar is presented in a standard format that includes the cultivar name, experimental designation, breeder, vendor, parents, plant characteristics, disease and other resistances, similar cultivars, areas of adaptation, plant variety protection information, and year of release. In many cases, complete information was not available for the cultivars included in the list. Cultivars listed here were generally released since 1988, when the last vegetable cultivar list was assembled by Tigchelaar (22). Previous vegetable cultivar lists have been published (1–22) in this journal, and its predecessor. 1) Anonymous. 1954. New vegetable varieties list I. Proc. Amer. Soc. Hort.
