Seems the smaller retailers have their seed racks stocked with the varieties missing from the big box retailers.
Tonight I saw Porterhouse, Brandy Boy and Sungold all on a Burpee rack at Ocean State Job Lot - a small regional chain similar to Big Lots, specializing in closeouts, distressed merchandise and refurbished appliances.
All 3 varieties were pre-printed with a $2.49 price but the store advertises their entire seed rack at 50% off.

One last word of farewell, Dear Master and Mistress.
Whenever you visit my grave,
say to yourselves with regret
but also with happiness in your hearts
at the remembrance of my long happy life with you:
"Here lies one who loved us and whom we loved."
No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you,
and not all the power of death
can keep my spirit
from wagging a grateful tail.
