v. , '?(r,C ) -Vegetable Varieties 1979·80 for Commercial Market Growers UNIVERSITY OF IlliNOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN/COllEGE OF AGRICUlTURE/COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE CIRCUlAR 117 4 TO OBTAIN OPTIMUM YIELD and quality, it is im-portant for commercial market growers to select vegetable varieties that are adapted to conditions in their locality. This circular provides an up-to-date list-ing of varieties suitable for Illinois. Not all varieties will be appropriate for all the diverse growing and market-ing conditions found in Illinois. In selecting varieties for your operation, you should take into account the preference of your particular market, the time at which the variety can be expected to mature, your methods of culture, and the adaptability of the varieties to your soil and climate. As a further aid, you might consult cur-rent catalogs and trade publications for other promis-ing varieties. Many of the vegetable varieties that show promise for Illinois have only recently been introduced. The names of these varieties are indicated in the following list by the word trial in parentheses. The latest results of vegetable trials can be found in the proceedings of the Illinois Vegetable Growers Schools. Copies may be obtained for $3 either from your county Extension office or from the Department of Horticulture, 124 Mumford Hall, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801. One important advantage of using improved vari-eties is that they may be resistant to certain diseases. Varieties of cabbage that are resistant to yellows and black rot are indicated by the letters YR and BRRJ respectively. Additional information on varieties of these and other vegetables may be found in Circular 1150, Veg-etable Gardening for Illinois. Copies are available for $2 from the Office of Publications, 123 Mumford Hall, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801. When order-ing either publication, make checks payable to the University of Illinois. ; .. · ASPARAGUS California Number Series (trial) F 1 Hybrids (trial) BEAN, SNAP (yellow) Gold Crop ·Royal Red Ruby Queen Martha Washington Mary Washington BEAN, SNAP (green) Astro Avalanche Blue Crop Bush Blue Lake Cascade Contender Del Ray Eagle (trial) Early Gallatin Gala green Green Genes Greensleeves Harvester Provider Slenderette Spartan Arrow Sprite Tendercrop Tenderette Tendergreen Midas Moongold Resistant Cherokee Resistant Kinghorn Sungold BEAN, LIMA All green Fordhook 242 Thaxter Thorogreen BEET Detroit Dark Red Explorer Firechief Garnet Gladiator Honey Red (trial) Mono-King Perfected Detroit Red Ball Red King ··' BROCCOLI Gem (trial) Green Comet Green Duke (trial) Premium Crop BRUSSELLS SPROUT Green Gem (trial) Jade Cross Hybrid Jade Cross Hybrid E CABBAGE (early) Emerald Cross Head Start Jet Pak Market Dawn Market Victor Resistant Golden Acre Stonehead CABBAGE (main crop) Danish Ballhead Defender (trial- YR, BRR) Gourmet ( YR) Greenback (YR) Green Winter (trial) Guardian (trial- YR, BRR) King Cole (YR) Market Prize Market Topper Resistant Danish Rio Verde Round-up (YR) Superette (trial- YR) Super Green (trial -
