Indigo Series! Adds a Hybrid Version! Our Indigo Series proves that tomatoes can be extra healthy and taste great! This series has high levels of anthocyanins, antioxidants that protect against disease and early aging. This substance allows these varieties to develop a deep purple skin whenever exposed to direct sun, but they need to be fully ripe to create good flavor. The fruits ripen only when they soften, when the bottom turns from green to deep red. Our healthiest tomatoes yet! All Indigo varieties are indeterminate.

Tomato Grafting Rootstock
“Grafting Tomatoes” Instruction Guide.
Our booklet entitled “Growing Tomatoes From Seed” (pictured below) has an entire chapter devoted to grafting tomatoes. You can buy the entire booklet for $4.99, or if you simply need grafting instructions, buy our guide that reproduces the “grafting” chapter from our booklet. At 99¢, you can’t go wrong! #9070. 99¢ each.
Currant Tomato Candyland Red. 55-60 days. Tiny, 1/2-in., deep red fruits with sugar-sweet flavor weigh only 1/4-oz. Pop a handful into your mouth for an explosion of candy-like sweetness!

Grafting has been practiced for generations in Europe. Grafting joins the top of the desired plant – the scion – to the root system of another plant – the rootstock. As the two plants fuse, the remarkable flavor of the fruits from the scion combines with the vigor and disease resistance of the rootstock to produce a plant better than either parent. The grafted plant offers bigger yields, larger fruits, and better disease resistance. We were among the first to launch tomato rootstocks to American home gardeners, as we felt $8 for just one grafted plant is too costly, when many of our older clients are on fixed incomes. Want to graft but don't know how? Either buy our booklet Growing Tomatoes From Seed for only $4.99 or buy just the “Grafting” chapter for a paltry 99¢. No more excuses!

Types of Sweet Corn Normal sweet corn, abbreviated su, offers delicious, old-fashioned, sweet-corn flavor. Sugar in su corns quickly converts to starch, so su varieties should be prepared quickly once mature. Requires no isolation. Sugary Enhanced corns are shortened se and possess a gene that gives the kernel better sweetness, tenderness and a longer harvest period. Varieties with se only have su and se parents and are heterozygous. Varieties abbreviated se+ have two se parents and are called homozygous. They are even sweeter than the se’s! Isolate Sugary Enhanced types only from popcorn. Xtra Sweet, Shrunken or Super Sweet corns, abbreviated sh2, have the familiar ‘shrunken kernel’ that makes their flavor the sweetest yet, with a harvest time 10 days longer than types described above. Super Sweets must be isolated from all other corns so they cannot cross-pollinate with other types, making both corns inedible. Super Sweets must tassel at least 10 days before or after non-Super Sweets.

Layers of Flavor: Onion Seed & Onion Live Plants We sell both seed and plants of onions and scallions. Plants need an early start, so we begin shipping in mid-Jan. and continue to May 20. Our nursery ships at the proper time for your location, using USPS Priority Mail so our field-grown plants are guaranteed to arrive safely. We ship plants to all the U.S. except Alaska and Hawaii. Sorry, no shipments to foreign countries or U.S. territories. We sell our plants by the bunch, with a bunch containing 50 to 75 plants, depending on plant size. The minimum order is only one bunch of any variety. But you can order either of our 3-Color Collections or multiple bunches of the same variety to get a better price!

World’s Fiercest Super-Hot Peppers! A Carolina Reaper
The title “World’s Hottest Pepper” depends on whose results you believe. We use data from New Mexico State’s famed Chile Pepper Institute (CPI for short), which bases its findings on the average heat level from an entire field of peppers. CPI finds great variability in heat levels, even in fruits from the same plant! Guinness World Records, another testing agency that ranks ‘Carolina Reaper’ as the World’s Hottest Pepper, bases its results on a single fruit. Numbers like 1 in front of each variety below use CPI's Scoville heat units (SHU) measurements to rank the varieties we carry against each other. All “super-hots” pack extreme heat. Use caution and keep away from the eyes! They are also very hard to germinate. To improve your chances, first use bottom heat (a hot house is no substitute for bottom heat!). Second, super-hots can take up to a full month to germinate, so be patient! Third, we provide actual germination results within each pepper's description. Use these results to determine how many seedlings you can expect from one packet. Finally, we urge you to moisten “super-hots” with our Seed-Starting Kit below to improve germination 30 to 50%! 4 1 Carolina Reaper. 95 days. Now Dorset Naga. 95 days. the World’s Hottest Pepper!

Farm & Field Seeds
Cover Crops, Including Green Manures
Farm and Field Seeds, including cover crops, comprise one of the most important parts of our business for multiple reasons. Planting green manures is one of the fastest and cheapest ways to improve soil, as it is unsurpassed as a source of organic matter when cut and then tilled under. It also protects against soil erosion, increases the capacity of the soil to hold water, smothers weeds and hosts beneficial insects. With so many excellent qualities, we certainly invite you to sow cover crops this spring and summer!
White Dutch Clover.
Perennial. A low-growing, only up to 8-in., variety with extensive uses in lawns and lawn mixtures, as a cover crop, for erosion control or as a green manure. Used as both a spring and fall cover crop. Our best clover for fixing nitrogen, up to 170 lbs. per acre, while attracting beneficial insects. Elegant white blooms. Seed comes already inoculated. Sow 2-oz. per 500 sq. ft. #1551. Packet (2 oz.) priced on p. 81. PakPlus (1/2 lb.) $11.25; ProPak (1 lb.) $18.75; Mega ProPak (5 lbs.) $66.50.
White Dutch Clover
Hairy Vetch. Annual.
Unbeatable for fixing nitrogen on poor, dry, sandy soils, or on soils too acidic for clovers. Can be sown in the fall, winter or spring, either alone or in combination with grain, grass or pea seed. Will grow 3 to 4-ft. high. Cut when blooms begin to appear and turn under for a wonderful green manure. Widely adapted and withstands all but the severest of winters if sown in late summer or fall. Not recommended for heavy clay soils or wet fields. Inoculate for best results with pea & bean inoculant found on p. 49. Sow ½-lb per 500 sq. ft. #1550. Packet (2 oz.) priced on p. 81. PakPlus (1/2 lb.) $10.25; ProPak (1 lb.) $14.75; Mega ProPak (5 lbs.) $56.25.

Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover

Crimson Clover
the fastest maturing green-manure crops that grows in virtually any soil with minimal nutritional needs. Can smother out virtually any weed (including thistle) and also attracts beneficial insects. Works to accumulate insoluble phosphorus that is released back into the soil when tilled in. Sow anytime from May through July. Grows to 24-in. and begins flowering only 5 to 6 weeks after sowing. Till in when flowering starts. If growing for grain, sow 3 months before first fall frost and harvest after a killing frost. About 4,000 seeds in ¼-lb. Sow 1 lb. per 500 sq. ft. #1523. Packet (¼ lb.) priced on p. 81. PakPlus (1 lb.) $10.25; ProPak (5 lb.) $31.50; Mega ProPak (10 lbs.) $44.75.
Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover. Biennial. Exceptional
as a green manure, for soil improvement and pasture, but uniquely preferred by beekeepers for its honey production. Can be grown as an annual and tilled in, or allowed to grow the following year to a height of 6-ft., providing tons of organic matter to the soil. Sets a long taproot which loosens hard, packed soils. Brings insoluble minerals like potassium and phosphorus up to the surface. Fixes as much nitrogen as alfalfa, up to 125 lbs. per acre. Sow anytime from May through July. Inoculate for best performance (see below). About 20,000 seeds in 2-oz. Sow 4-oz. per 500 sq. ft. #1549. Packet (2 oz.) priced on p. 81. PakPlus (1/2 lb.) $10.25; ProPak (1 lb.) $16.75; Mega ProPak (5 lbs.) $55.50.
Crimson Clover. Annual.
Winter hardy, so can be sown anytime, although usually planted in September and October when it forms a dense green groundcover by mid-winter. As striking as it is beneficial, with a blanket of crimson blooms in June on 18 to 24-in. plants. Does not produce runners so can be easily eliminated by tilling. Used mainly as a green manure crop, fixing up to 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre, about the same as alfalfa. Inoculate for best results (see below). About 10,000 seeds in 2-oz.
