“Our Social Security program...proposes, by
means of old age pensions, to help those who

opportunities for work and to give to all
a feeling of security as they look toward
old age.”

“True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and
independence...We have accepted a second Bill of Rights under which a new
basis of security and prosperity can be established for all...Among these are the
right of every family to a decent home; the right to adequate medical care and
the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health; the right to adequate
protection from the economic fears of old age; and sickness, and accident and
unemployment; and finally, the right to a good education. All of these rights
spell security.”
FDR Jan. 11, 1944
A Modest Proposal
“We cannot attain [lasting prosperity] in a
nation half boom and half broke. If all our
people have work and fair wages and fair
profits they can buy the products of their
neighbors and business is good. But if you
take away the wages and the profits
of half of them, business is only half
as good.” FDR July 24, 1933

“There are those who fail to read both the signs of the times and of American
history. They would try to refuse the worker any effective power to bargain
collectively, earn a decent livelihood and to acquire security. It is those
short-sighted ones, not labor, who threaten this country with that class
dissension which in other countries has led to dictatorship and the
establishment of fear and hatred as the dominant emotions in human life.”

“I am not for a return to that definition of Liberty under which for many years a
free people were being gradually regimented into the service of the privileged
few. I prefer that broader definition of Liberty under which we are moving
forward to greater freedom, to greater security for the average man than he has
ever known before in the history of America.”

“Now we have plenty of capital, banks and insurance companies loaded with
idle money; plenty of industrial productive capacity and many millions of
workers looking for jobs. It is following tradition as well as necessity, if
government strives to put idle money and idle men to work, to increase our
public wealth and to build up the health and strength of the people–to help our
system of private enterprise to function again...the first duty of government is to
protect the economic welfare of all the people in all sections and in all groups.”

“To abandon our purpose of building a greater, a more stable and a more

propose to sail ahead...For to reach a port, we must sail—sail, not lie at anchor,

BEANS Phaseolus vulgaris
2 oz. packet sows 25 ft; 1 lb, 200 ft. Avg 180 seeds/2 oz packet. All beans are
open-pollinated. Tender, will not survive frost. Plant 3–4 seeds/ft. in rows 24–30"
apart. Pick frequently to keep beans producing, but stay out of the patch in wet
weather to prevent spread of fungal diseases. White-seeded beans usually don’t
germinate as well as dark-seeded. Minimum germination soil temperature 60˚.
Optimal range 60–80˚. Optimal temperature 77˚. Emergence takes 16 days at 59˚;
only 8 days at 77˚. Produce 97% normal seedlings at 77˚, but only 47% at 86˚.
Regret we cannot ship bean seed to Idaho due to quarantine.
Note: In conditions of high nitrogen fertility some bush beans may develop vines in
moist hot weather.

SHELL AND DRY BEANS P. vulgaris
2 oz packet sows 25 ft, 1 lb. 200 ft. All bush beans except where noted. In
conditions of high nitrogen fertility some bush beans may develop vines in moist hot
weather. Allow beans to dry on the vine until pressing them with your fingernail
leaves no indentation. If heavy rains threaten just before maturity, pull plants by the
roots and hang them in a dry place to finish or pick pods and finish drying indoors.
With all the rain in August and September, 2011 was a difficult year to dry down
beans. Researchers at Colorado State University found that consuming dry beans
reduces the risk of breast cancer.

SOYBEANS Glycine max
Half oz pkt sows 10 ft, 1 lb sows 320 ft, avg 80 seeds/oz. Used in
China more than 2,200 years ago, then introduced into Japan. The
Japanese call them edamame (eh-dah-mah-may), meaning “bears on
branches,” and boil and salt them like beer nuts. Encouraged by its
recent popularity surge, breeders are selecting for larger pods
with sweeter beans. Edamame are day-length sensitive. Sow
around the same time as sweet corn and harvest when most of
the pods have expanded but are still green without yellowing. For best flavor
harvest in the evening. Boil the pods for 5 minutes, chill quickly for easy shelling.
Refrigerate beans that you don’t consume immediately. Edamame are rich in
vitamins A, C and E, calcium, phosphorus, protein and dietary fiber.
Fresh-market growers often cut off plants near the base, remove the leaves
and bunch into 1 lb units, eliminating their need to pick each pod individually.
Soybean seed is easy to save; expect about 1 lb per 10 row feet.

YELLOW SWEET CORN
Most of the information in these sidebars comes from Cornell’s Resource Guide for
Organic Insect and Disease Management (available online).
Pest: corn earworm
Cultural controls: use resistant varieties with tight husks such as #541 Bodacious R/M
or #658 Silver Queen, choose short-season varieties, release trichogramma wasps.
(Beneficial insects are available from The Green Spot at www.greenmethods.com or
603-942-8925.)
Material controls: Bt Kurstaki (Dipel #8902-8906), Spinosad (#8922-4)
Pest: European Corn Borer (ECB) and fall armyworm
Cultural controls: mow & disk old corn stalks into the soil, release trichogramma wasps
(found to give better control than insecticides in research by Cornell’s IPM program on
five organic farms) for ECB; none known for fall armyworm.
Material controls: Bt Kurstaki, Spinosad

If you plant corns of different color kernels next to
each other, you will get some cross-pollination.
Separate by 8-10 rows’ distance to maintain color purity.

CORN
PEAS
PEAS Pisum sativum
2 oz packet sows 25 ft, 1 lb sows 200 ft,
avg 250 seeds/2 oz packet. All peas
are open-pollinated.
Young plants are very hardy but frost
stops production at the blossom or pod stage.
Like cool moist weather; dislike heat, so not
well adapted to southern climates where
the spring heats up too quickly. Sow as
early as ground can be worked for best
yields. All peas produce more when
staked; varieties over 21/2' must be
supported. Plant 8–10 seeds/ft. in rows 3'
apart (5' if very tall varieties). Early morning
picking retards spread of powdery mildew
disease and ensures best flavor. To combat
the fungus try Actinovate (#8855-6 in the
supplies section).
If you love peas as much as we do, try for a
second crop in the fall. Timing is crucial, as
peas ripen slowly in the cool of September,
and frost will halt production. We recommend planting the first two weeks of July
for a fall crop in central Maine. Warmer
areas try later July. If the summer is hot, cool the soil with a hay mulch in advance of
planting, or shade peas with tall crops to hold in soil moisture.
Off-types continue to be a recurrent problem in conventional pea seed
crops. We’ve noted the increasing prevalence of a tall pale-green rogue in
#732 Early Frosty, #748 Little Marvel and #760 Green Arrow. Pull these
plants out or consider switching to our organic productions that have
fewer off-types, and are, in our opinion, worth the extra cost.
Smooth-seeded peas germinate better in colder soils than
wrinkle-seeded peas, but are not as sweet. Minimal soil temperature for
pea seed germination: 40˚. Optimal range 50-75˚, optimal temperature 75˚,
emergence takes 14 days at 50˚, 9 days at 59˚, only 6 days at 77˚. Longtime
customer Pam Dawling in Virginia suggests that forsythia flowering signals
time to sow snap and snow peas.

2 oz packet sows 25 ft. 1 lb sows 200 ft. Culture same as shell peas, except
harvest snow peas before pods fill out. Don’t pick snap peas too soon: snaps taste
sweetest when completely filled. Young snow and snap plants can be eaten as
greens, good in mesclun or lightly cooked. To serve pea shoots, remove the coarse
tendrils and break the stalk into 3" pieces each with some leaves.

OPEN-POLLINATED
MELONS
Fascinated by heritage melons? Amy
Goldman’s Melons for the Passionate
Grower (ISBN 1-57965-213-1), a
mouth-watering journey through her 100
favorite varieties, is an indispensable
identification and cultural aide in trials
work. Goldman says we routinely
discard the most nourishing part of the
melon: the seeds. Watermelon seeds
have been an important part of African
and Chinese diets. The watermelon
rind, another oft-overlooked feature,
makes good pickles.
Melon seed lives more than 10 years with proper storage. 18th- and 19th-century
growers preferred to sow 4- to 10-year-old melon seed, believing that such seeds
produced plants that spread less and fruits with a finer perfume.
Days to maturity are from date of transplanting.
Open-pollinated CANTALOUPE & MUSKMELON
Cucumis melo
Cantaloupes are named for the papal gardens of Cantalupo, Italy, where some
historians say the first cantaloupe was grown. They are smooth-skinned or lightly
netted with few ridges. Some are warted. Muskmelons are usually heavily netted
and deeply ribbed with larger seed cavities than cantaloupes. Both have orange
flesh unless otherwise indicated. Market grower Jason Kafka of Parkman, ME,
observed that deeply netted muskmelons have better flavor than those without full
netting. Melons produce highest sugars when daytime temperatures exceed 80˚
and night temperatures are 60–75˚.
1/16 oz packet, about 60 seeds, sows 20 hills. 1oz=about 960 seeds.
Minimum germination soil temperature 60˚, optimal range 75–95˚, optimal
temperature 80˚, emergence takes 8 days at 68˚, only 4 days at 77˚.

Most Years You Can Vine-Ripen Melons In Maine
Melons are a tender crop with a high nitrogen requirement. They love heat,
cannot stand frost, and may be damaged by night temperatures below 40˚.
Though they require some extra fussing, the results are sure worthwhile!
= Note days to maturity and select varieties that will ripen in your climate.
Halona, Blacktail Mountain, Petite Yellow and Peace are surest bets.
=Start indoors in early May (later if the spring is slow to warm) in plastic or
peat pots, 2 or 3 seeds to a pot. Melons resent transplanting but will take if their
roots are not disturbed.
= Prepare hills in advance with liberal amounts of well-rotted manure or
compost. Don’t place melons next to vigorous crawling plants like cucumbers,
gourds or winter squash.
=A cold start can permanently stunt growth, so wait for a warm spell after all
danger of frost to transplant, usually between June 1st and 20th. Water heavily
and, if soil is dry, place a temporary hay mulch around plants until a soaking rain
comes.
= Melons are much more sensitive than squashes so use low tunnels with
floating row covers that do not abrade plants. If you have sandy soil, check daily
and irrigate when needed.
=Use blue, black or clear plastic mulch between plants.
=Use a foliar feeding program to speed ripening.
=Remove row covers before buds open. Replace them when you don’t desire
any more fruit to set.
=To reduce rot loss, rotate ripening melons occasionally. To reduce mouse
damage, place ripening melons on bricks.
=Inspect your patch daily at ripening time. Check fruits for aroma and color
and pull gently on those that appear to be ripe. Most muskmelons are ripe when
the pressure causes them to slip from the vine. Galia types are ripe when they
blush yellow well before full slip. For Petit Gris de Rennes, see above; for
honeydews, p. 30. For watermelons, thumping should produce a low, hollow
sound. Spread thumb and forefinger and press hard on fruit. If you feel any give,
watermelon is ripe.
=Enjoy an incomparable taste treat!

Open-pollinated WATERMELON
Citrullus lanatus
Agricultural Research Service scientists have discovered that watermelon, known to
contain large amounts of the antioxidant lycopene, is also an excellent source of the
amino acid citrulline that is important for wound healing, cell division and removing
toxins from the body. More than 4 billion pounds of watermelons are produced
annually in the United States.
1/16 oz packet, about 40 seeds, sows 14 hills. 1 oz=about 670 seeds. Minimum
germination temperature 60˚, optimal range 75–95˚, optimal temp. 90˚, emergence
takes 12 days at 68˚, 5 days at 77˚, only 17% normal seedlings at 59˚, 94% at 68˚.

Hybrid GALIA-TYPE MELON C. m.
1 gram packet, about 20 seeds, sows 7 hills. The name
Galia is the feminine form of the Israeli name Gal
(meaning wave). Developed in Israel around 1970 by
breeder Zvi Karchi, Galias feature smooth sweet
lime-green flesh with a tropical taste overtone.
Typically the fruits have corky netting but no ribbing.
Pull from the vine when the skin blushes yellow.

Hybrid HONEYDEW C. m.
As with watermelons, discerning
ripeness in honeydews is an art.
At least two or three of the
following signs should align
before you cut fruit from the
vine: 1) Fruits are free of
fuzz or minute hairs that
denote immaturity. 2) As with
watermelons, stems dry at
tendrils. 3) Fruits assume
proper coloration (different for
different varieties). 4) Light firm
pressure applied to fruit bottom
results in a slight give or rubbery
rebound (pick soon). Give extends into
the curve outside of the blossom scar (pick now). Do not wait for full slip—fruits will
develop cracks and get over-ripe. Cure 1–4 days off the vine for best flavor. On the
table develops a very subtle sweet smell of perfumed honey indicative of melting
juicy full-flavored flesh.

Hybrid WATERMELON Citrullus lanatus
1 gram packet, about 20 seeds, sows 7 hills. With its wicked
heat, 2010 was a great year for growing watermelons. One
beneficiary, Maine market grower Jason Kafka, raved,
“when watermelons come well, it is wonderful.” Not so in
2011, where a scant four fruits graced the CGCF
Exhibition Hall.

CUCUMBERS Cucumis sativus
/ oz packet sows 11 ft, 1 oz about 180 ft. 1/16 oz
packet avg. 65 seeds. Very tender, will not
survive frost. Sow 2" apart in rows 3' apart or 6
per mound in hills 4' apart thinning to 3 best
plants. Combat striped cucumber beetles by
handpicking early AM when the dew makes
them sluggish, or use floating row covers,
removing when cukes flower. Pick
frequently for best production.
Anne Elder reminds us that
cucumbers turn bitter when they
get thirsty. She turns on the
drip line each day after her
CSA picks.
Using compost in
conjunction with row
covers (rather than
either alone)
increased cucumber
yields at the University
of Michigan.
Possibly the most ancient
of all vegetables. Cucumber
seeds found in the Spirit Cave along
the Burma/Thailand border in 1970 carbon-dated back nearly 12,000 years.
Parthenocarpic varieties (#1239, #1392) can set fruit without being pollinated, an
advantage in cold cloudy summers.
Minimum germination temperature 60˚, optimal range 65–95˚, optimal temperature
90˚, emergence takes 13 days at 59˚, 6 days at 68˚, 4 days at 77˚.

BEIT-ALPHA TYPE
Descended from a vegetable that grows wild in the dry climate of the Middle East,
the beit alpha was developed by breeders on an Israeli kibbutz. These small sweetfleshed cucumbers were originally popular in the Mediterranean, spread to Europe
and have now won converts in the States because they don’t dehydrate easily, their
thin skins don’t require peeling, they are almost completely burpless and have a long
shelf life.

SUMMER SQUASH Cucurbita pepo
Tender, will not survive frost. Sow in hills 4 ft apart, 5 seeds/hill. Thin to 2–3 best
plants. Pick squash when they are small for best flavor. Floating row covers can
hasten maturity by 1 to 2 weeks. Male blossoms typically precede females by about
a week. Females have a bulge at the base of the blossom, an early stage of the fruit
forming. In early summer, a combination of cool, cloudy weather and a declining bee
population may result in poor pollination causing low yields. Mites and colony
collapse disorder have wiped out a high percentage of wild and domesticated
honeybee colonies in the last 20 years, creating a real crisis for cucurbit growers.
Minimum germination temperature 60˚, optimal temperature range 70–90˚, optimal
temperature 85˚.
ZUCCHINI
/ oz packet sows 4–6 hills; 1 oz 40 hills. 160–240 seeds/oz. The term ‘zucchini,’
which means ‘little squash’ in Italian, was not in common parlance until the late ’30s.
Squash expert Amy Goldman, author of The Compleat Squash (ISBN 1-57965251-4), traces the first true zucchini to 1901 in Milan, but vegetable marrows and
cocozelles, now called zucchini, are considerably older.

WINTER SQUASH
In 2010 we reorganized the winter squash section by species and common
groupings. The The order is:
Cucurbita pepo:
1600-1609 Acorns
1610-1614 Delicata/Dumplings
1615-1616 Spaghettis
Cucurbita maxima:
1617-1619 Bananas
1620-1649 Buttercup/Kabochas
1650-1659 Hubbards
1660-1679 Miscellaneous maxima
Cucurbita moschata:
1680-1689 Butternuts
1690-1699 Miscellaneous moschata
All open-pollinated except where noted. Plant 4–5 seeds per hill. Allow 4–6 feet
between hills. Tender, not frost hardy. Heavy nitrogen feeders. Excessive heat
and/or drought can prevent blossom set, reduce yields. Winter squash can take one
or two light frosts on the vine. To improve flavor and storage, field cure for at least 10
days after harvest, covering if hard frost threatens. Store under proper conditions,
50˚ and 60–70% relative humidity. Storing at temperatures under 50˚ reduces shelf
life. Be sure to use damaged, stemless or small fruit first. Acorns have the shortest
storage time before getting stringy, followed by delicatas, buttercup/kabochas.
CUCURBITA PEPO
Have hard 5-sided ribbed stems, and fruits are usually ribbed. One of the oldest
domesticated species. Pepo derives from the Greek pepon, meaning “ripened by the
sun.” They also include summer squashes and small gourds, as well as miniature
pumpkins 1702-1705, pie pumpkins 1711,1718-23, intermediate pumpkins 1708 and
1729, jack-o’-lanterns 1748-1752.
Acorn group
PATTY PAN
Harvest as tiny buttons or up to fist size. Anne Elder says they “look like flying
saucers from another world.” Gourmets call patty pans “scallopini,” and consider
them the most appetizing of the summer squashes. Were also known as simlins or
cymlings a century ago.

Approximate seed count: 280 seeds/oz, 1/8 oz packet sows 7 hills. Dr. Brent Loy of
UNH found that acorn squash often are not fully ripe even when they attain full size
and color. They continue to develop sugars until 45 days after pollination. Do not
harvest until most of the fruits display an orange ground spot. Much of their
reputation for watery, fibrous, inconsistent eating quality is probably due to
premature harvesting.

Pest: Striped Cucumber Beetle
Cultural controls: use tolerant or resistant varieties, rotate crops, till under crop debris soon
after harvest, use floating row covers (#9101) or insect netting (#9080-2) until flowers
appear, perimeter trap cropping (#1411 Black Zucchini and #1655 Blue Hubbard make
particularly good trap crops), use yellow sticky strip (#8830), hand-pick early a.m. when
beetles are very sluggish.
Materials: Surround (#8870), Pyrethrum (PyGanic #8925), Bugitol (#8890).
Pest: Squash Bug
Cultural controls: rotation, till in cucurbit debris before winter & plant a cover crop, boards
on soil surface near squash will attract bugs overnight which can be killed, destroy egg
clusters on undersides of leaves, avoid mulching.
Materials: Pyrethrum on young nymphs, Neem.
Pest: Squash Vine Borer
Cultural controls: butternut squash is resistant, maximas & pepos susceptible; rotation,
plow in squash vine debris soon after harvest, use floating row covers (#9101), watch for
wilting plant parts and destroy borer within.

Saving squash seed is challenging.
The genus Cucurbita has six different species, of which three are in our catalog. (We
do not offer C. argyrosperma, C. ficifolia or C. foetidissima and they are seldom
grown in our climate.)
Different varieties within the same species will cross readily, but crossing does not
occur between the different species. Seeds from a crop that has been exposed to
other cucurbits of the same species won’t grow true to type. If you are saving seed,
you need to isolate your crop from other cucurbits of the same species by at least
1500', or protect it from insects that would bring unwanted pollen, and hand-pollinate
it yourself.
CUCURBITA MOSCHATA
C. moschata are usually smooth and tan. See also 1740 Cheese Pumpkin.
Butternut group
Approximately 280 seeds/oz, 1/8 oz packet sows 7 hills. Butternut was introduced in
1936 by Joseph Breck and Sons of Boston, out of Canada Crookneck, an 1800s
variety. Butternuts need to be started indoors to mature in our climate. They are the
best keepers and contain 30% more vitamin A than hubbards and 80% more than
acorns.

/ oz packet sows 3–8 hills, 100-280 seeds/oz. Plant 4–5 seeds/hill. Allow 6 ft.
between hills. All open-pollinated except #1708 Autumn Gold.
Botanically, there are no such things as pumpkins. But we know one when we see
one. “Pumpkins” listed here are three species, Cucurbita pepo (mini pumpkins, small
pie and some jack-o’-lanterns), C. moschata (cheeses) and C. maxima (jack-o’lanterns and decorative).
Each year the Maine Pumpkin Growers Organization sponsors a Giant Pumpkin
and Squash Contest. Edwin Pierpont of Jefferson, ME, with a 1,471 lb beast in 2010
is the Maine record-holder. On Oct. 15, 2011, Jim Bryson of Ormstown, Quebec, set
a new world record of 1818.5 lb. A one-ton pumpkin? Not yet. For more on this
culture of madness, see Backyard Giants by Susan Warren (ISBN 10I-59691-278-2).

GAMBOLING GOURDS
All gourds are open-pollinated. Gourds come in two major categories (Luffa is a
third). The small ones are Cucurbita pepo var. ovifera also known as ornamental
gourds for their variety of shapes, colors and surfaces. These vigorous viners will
usually mature in our climate if direct-seeded. The larger ones are Lagenaria siceraria or hardshell gourds, named from the Greek lagenos, a flask, and sicera, an
intoxicating drink. Lagenaria, though lacking the color range of their smaller cousins,
fascinate with their magical shapes. Because of their long season they must be
started indoors in our climate. To improve germination, sandpaper or clip off the
radicle end and soak the seed. They resent transplanting and will grow slowly for a
few weeks. Once they take off these rampant crawlers are noted for their enormous
foliage, more velvety in texture than that of other cucurbits, and their large white
almost luminous night-blooming flowers. Heavy feeders, they will take up huge
amounts of garden space unless trellised. If you cut off the spent female flowers
daily, they make an excellent, albeit malodorous, flowering vine.

How to Produce a Luffa Sponge
When luffas are ripe their skins turn brown and dry and stems turn yellow.
Check your plants frequently and harvest only ripe gourds. Full-sized fruit that
are still green produce soft, fine-textured sponges that don’t last. After the first
killing frost remove any nearly ripe gourds to a warm well-ventilated place to
allow them to dry. Gourds left wet for long will readily discolor.
If the luffa has just ripened, gently squeeze and pop its skin. Break the
blossom end cap and pull the vascular bundle (that’s the sponge!) up the side
of the gourd like a zipper. The sponge will pop out, wet and white. Quickly
rinse it in water to prevent oxidation.
If gourds are too dry to pop the sponge out, ret them (thoroughly soak in
water) for several days until the skin sloughs off leaving only the spongy fiber.
After retting, shape and dry the sponge. Remove seeds either before or after
retting. We found it easy to do before retting: cut open the larger end of the
gourd and either shake or rinse out the seeds. If you wish to whiten the
sponges, bleach by soaking either in a 10% bleach solution or in hydrogen
peroxide. Rinse luffas thoroughly in clean water and dry before use.

Curing Lagenaria Gourds is Easy.
Hardshell gourds are 90% water at harvest. They need to be cured or dried, a slow process
of evaporation through the outer shell, which is covered by a thin ivory-green skin. Curing
can take 6 weeks to 1 year (average time 4 months) depending on gourd size, thickness of
shell, weather and storage conditions.
Immature gourds (that have not developed a thick shell) will rot after harvest. Mature
gourds are large and
weighty. To cure,
store off the ground in
a well-ventilated room
or unheated outbuilding. For a smooth
beige surface, scrape
off the outer skin after
it loosens and darkens. (Freezing and
thawing loosens the
outer skin.) Outer
skin, if left on, may
become moldy; moldpatterned skin will dry
to the gourd shell and
can be sanded off,
painted over or incorporated into the
decoration.

/ oz packet sows 35 ft; 1 oz 280 ft. Carrots average 18,000 seeds/oz with
significant variations among varieties. Very hardy. Early carrots can be sown by late
April. Can take up to 3 weeks to germinate; keep rows from drying out for faster
emergence. Sow carrots for winter storage in mid-late June. Thinning is critical: At 3"
high thin to 1/2" apart, at 6" thin again to 1" apart.
Minimal germination temperature 40˚, optimal range 60–85˚, optimal temperature
80˚, emergence takes 17 days at 50˚, 10 days at 59˚, 6 days at 77˚, 48% normal
seedlings at 41˚, 96% normal at 68˚.

/ oz packet sows 121/2 ft, 1 oz 100 ft. Radishes average 2,500 seeds/oz. All
open-pollinated except #2264 Saisai Leaf and #2282 Shinden Risoh.
Represented in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Were part of the diet of the
pyramid builders 2,700 years ago. Hardy. Can be sown early. Summer
radishes easy to grow, quick to ripen and go by; make succession
plantings. Require thinning to at least 2" for attractive uniform roots.
Daikon and winter radishes take longer to mature, hold longer, require
only one planting and need to be thinned to 6" apart. Pinch the tops if
winter radishes start to bolt. According to William Woys Weaver in 100
Vegetables and Where They Come From, radishes were viewed in the
18th century as great relievers of the common cold, powerful fortifiers of
digestion, and useful in breaking down kidney stones.
Minimum germination temperature 40˚, optimal range 55–85˚, optimal
temperature 85˚, emergence takes 11 days at 50˚, only 4 days at 68˚, 76%
normal seedlings at 50˚, 97% normal at 59˚.

/ oz packet sows 25 ft, 1 oz about 200 ft. All
open-pollinated. Seed is short-lived; if you
are planning to use old seed, germ test in
paper towels before sowing. Slow to germinate
(14–21 days). Prepare a deep seedbed and keep
it moist with frequent watering until emergence.
One of the best for grating and stuffing into
eggrolls, strudels and veggie pies. A parsnip pie
is an amazing treat. Harvest some parsnips
after frost for late fall delights. The remainder
will taste even sweeter in the spring after
overwintering in the ground!
Minimum germination temperature 35˚,
optimal range 55-70˚, optimal at 65˚, emergence
takes 27 days at 50˚, 14 days at 68˚, 89% normal
seedlings at 68˚, only 77% normal at 77˚.

TURNIPS & RUTABAGAS
/ oz packet sows almost 40 ft, 1 oz about 300 ft. All open-pollinated except
#2377 Oasis. ~9,000 seeds/oz. Hardy members of Crucifer family. Thinning is critical
for full-sized roots. Turnips have a shorter growing season and are not as cold-hardy
or as good keepers as rutabagas. Turnips are best picked before they get large and
fibrous. Rutabagas, also known as Swedish turnips or Swedes, form enlarged roots
above ground with a finely branched system below.
Minimum germination temperature for turnips 40˚, optimal range 60-95˚, optimal
temperature 75˚, 79% normal seedlings at 50˚, 98% normal at 59˚.

/ oz packet about 400-600 seeds, 1 oz 6,400-9,600. Start indoors in Feb. or
March and transplant out in spring almost as soon as the ground can be worked. Set
leeks 6–12" apart, onions 4–6" in trenches in well-dug beds with generous quantities
of organic matter. Avoid transplanting next to grass strips; slugs love to dine on tiny
allium seedlings. Irrigate seedlings whenever the topsoil dries out. Days to maturity
are from date of transplanting.
For onions minimum germination temperature 40˚, optimum range 50–95˚, optimal
temperature 70˚, emergence 13 days at 50˚, only 5 days at 68˚, 99% normal seedlings at 68˚, 91% at 86˚.
LEEKS A. porrum
All open-pollinated. Leeks
have become a mainstay in
our kitchens throughout
the fall. Early leeks have
tall shanks above ground
and should be harvested
before severe frosts.
Hardier leeks have broader,
shorter shanks and will
hold till November. Leeks
brought into the root
cellar will survive almost all
winter if heeled into dirt.

ONIONS A. cepa
Onions are day-length sensitive. The earlier they are set out, the more
chance they have to make top growth while the
days are lengthening. The more top
growth, the greater the bulb size. After
summer solstice they begin bulbing.
After half the onion tops fall, push
over the remainder and harvest
within a week. Field-cure in the
sun about 10 days until dry, covering with a tarp in wet weather.
Curing is essential for long storage. Hang sacks in a cool dry
well-ventilated place, periodically
removing sprouting or rotting bulbs.
Onions survive light frosts.
We do not hold over hybrid onion
seed because of precipitous decreases
in germination. Onion and leek seed is
short-lived. Retest 1-year-old seed before
using. Discard anything older.
Onions are second only to tomatoes as the world’s most economically important
vegetable. In the United States they have a $4 billion annual retail value. While the
average American eats 18.7 lb per year, Libyans consume almost four times as
many per capita.
When it begins to warm up in spring, put your remaining storage onions in your
refrigerator crisper. Most will keep without sprouting until your new crop is ready.

SPINACH Spinacia oleracea
/ oz packet sows 30–50 ft, 1 oz plants 120–200 ft. Very hardy. Must be planted
as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring to avoid early bolting. For fall
crop try late Jul–Aug sowing; to overwinter, sow late Aug–Sept. Heavy nitrogen
requirements, but avoid applying high-nitrogen fertilizers shortly before harvest to
prevent high nitrate levels in the leaves. Pick large leaves often for heavier
production.
Popularized by the Popeye cartoons in the ’30s and ’40s (“I’m strong to the finish
because I eat my spinach”). Evidently, Popeye was a little ahead of his time.
According to the USDA, annual consumption of spinach increased 66% between
1992 and 2002, and per capita it has multiplied more than sevenfold since 1975!
Smooth-leaved spinach is easier to wash than the semi-savoyed type, and is
increasingly preferred as attested by the rip-roaring 2005 debut of #2510 Space.
Heat, crowding and long day-length (over 14 hours) trigger premature bolting. To
retard bolting, avoid hot-weather planting, use wider spacing and irrigate or use
shade cloth.
Minimum germination temperature 35˚, optimal range 45–65˚, optimal
temperatures 55–60˚, emergence takes 23 days at 41˚, 12 days at 50˚, only 5 days
at 77˚, however 91% normal seedlings at 50˚, 82% at 59˚ but only 52% at 68˚ and a
mere 28% at 77˚. Spinach seed will not germinate in soil temperatures above 85˚.

LETTUCE
LETTUCE Lactuca sativa
1 gram packet sows 25 ft; 2 grams 50 ft; 1 oz 500–700 ft. Varieties average 875
seeds/1g pkt, or 1,750 seeds/2 g packet. All lettuce is open-pollinated. May be
started indoors in March and at regular intervals thereafter, or sowed outdoors as
soon as ground can be worked. Most varieties won’t germinate in soil temperatures
above 75˚. Hardy. All save icebergs tolerate heavy frost. Grow best in cool weather
with ample moisture, many kinds suffer bottom rot and tipburn in heat; select
summer varieties carefully. Use shade cloth to keep summer lettuce tender and
sweet longer.
Desire an early spring lettuce crop without work? Allow your succession planting
for fall to go to seed! It lends beauty to the fall garden and will give you
wonderful early greens in all but the coldest
locations.
Best time to harvest lettuce? Shortly
after dawn. USDA research has shown that
lettuce leaves contain almost double the
sugars at 7 am as at 2 pm.
Sow every 2 weeks for continuous supply.
Lettuce will not head unless thinned
frequently and ruthlessly to final distance of
1'. Heavy nitrogen feeders.
Minimum germination soil temperature
35˚, optimal range 40-80˚, optimal temperatures 70-75˚, emergence takes 15
days at 41˚, 7 days at 50˚, 3 days at
68˚, 99% normal seedlings at 77˚ but
only 12% normal at 86˚.

CRISPHEAD or ICEBERG
According to Vaugan’s 1904 catalog, Iceberg gets its name from the small indentations in the leaves which are constantly filled with dewdrops giving them a crystalline
appearance.

GREENS Including Season-extenders
All greens are open-pollinated except where noted.
When to harvest greens? Research from trials conducted in England and Kenya
showed looseleaf lettuce, red chard and arugula harvested in the evening had a
longer shelf life than when picked in the morning.
Look for the snowflake symbol G after each cultivar description for indication that
a variety is hardy through at least a part of our Maine winter.
AMARANTH Amaranthus spp.
Although Amaranth was one of the Aztecs’ five principal food crops for its high
protein content and amazing nutritional qualities, it has fallen into disuse for those
purposes. Until now we have selected this crop mostly for its ornamental potential.
We are now trialing Amaranth varieties for ability to ripen seed in our climate and for
use as a grain crop, and any such future selections will either be listed here under
greens or in our grains section. We’ve moved Hopi Red Dye, formerly offered here,
to annuals under #5014, joining #5011 and #5013.
ARUGULA Eruca sativa
1 16
/ oz packet sows 60 ft, 1 oz 960 ft. Also known as
Roquette or Rocket. It has come a long way,
baby! since 1980 when I added it to our selection
because my father liked it. Little known then, it is
now so popular that we order it in 50-pound bags.
Commercial growers bought 203 one-pound packets last year plus 42 5-pounders. Few people are indifferent to arugula: most of us
love it, a few despise it. Musky green and its
piquant blossoms will spice up your salad.
Bolts readily in heat, much better as a fall crop
or succession planted. Use row covers to discourage
flea beetles. A prime ingredient in tangy mesclun
mixes. Frequent watering will reduce its pungency.

LETTUCE & GREENS
CHARD Beta vulgaris (cicla group)
GREENS
1 16
/ oz packet sows 5-13 ft, 1 oz plants 80-200
ft. Hardy. Salzer’s 1915 catalog opines, “Swiss
chard produces more food for the table than
almost any other vegetable and it also requires
less care; it yields a constant crop from July to
winter.” Even the thick ribs of chard, beets and
other greens soften with braising. Plants will
grow quite large. Space according to use—can
be closer together for baby leaf harvest.
Minimum germination temperature 40˚,
optimum range 50–85˚

MÂCHE Valerianella locusta
From Susan Lipari of Alpine, NY: “I grew up in Germany, and mâche was a staple
winter salad green...Even here, in upstate NY, Zone 5, it is quite untouched by the
cold of winter. I harvest mâche all through the winter, sometimes scraping the snow
off the rosettes and blowing on my freezing hands. When the weather begins to
warm up in the spring, mâche begins to bolt…In late September…the seeds
germinate and begin to grow. By the middle or end of October I can start to harvest
the new crop...No Thanksgiving…dinner would be complete in my family without
‘Rapunzel’ salad.” Also known as Corn Salad, Lamb’s Lettuce, Field Salad and
Fetticus, mâche has a unique nutty flavor.

ORACH Atriplex hortensis
Key salad ingredient once called the Cabbage of Love, also
known as Mountain Spinach, thrives in cool weather and
should be sown as soon as the ground can be worked.
Can be pinched back to
encourage production and
retard bolting. Produces an
abundance of seed that
can be saved, and will
occasionally self-sow.
Orach has been eaten since
the dawn of civilization. Staub says
ancient Arabic cultures so prized it as
a food plant that they called it “the
prince of vegetables”. Once very
popular in America—Fearing Burr
listed 16 varieties in 1865!—then
forgotten for many years, orach has
come back into favor.

PARSLEY Petroselinum crispum
/ oz packet sows 25 ft, 1 oz 400 ft. 14,000 seed/oz average. Very hardy. Very
slow to germinate (up to 30 days). Soaking seed 8–12 hours will hasten germination.
Parsley seed is short-lived; test old seed before sowing.
A shining star of Jason Kafka’s wholesale program. He grows Forest Green and
Dark Green Italian and says that if you have the market, these may bring more $ per
row foot than any other crop.
Minimum germination temperature 40˚, optimal range 50-80˚, optimal temperature
70˚, emergence takes 29 days at 50˚, 17 days at 59˚, 13 days at 77˚.

PURSLANE Portulaca oleracea var. sativa
Its Latin name means ‘milk-bearing vegetable.’
Direct seed in spring, after danger of frost is past.
Thin to 5" apart. Can be cut; will regenerate.
Doesn’t tolerate frost. We recommend a
succession planting to maximize tenderness. Purslane leaves have more vitamin C
than spinach leaves and are rich in omega-3
fatty acids and antioxidants.

RADICCHIO Cichorium intybus
These radicchios are easy to raise from transplants although they have not yet been
refined to absolute uniformity. Occasional plants still bolt unpredictably. If you try
direct-seeding, watch out for voracious flea beetles.
Culture like lettuce; do not allow to dry out. They
are mature when heads form in the center. Do
not eat the bitter outer leaves. The edible
centers are an acquired taste, retaining
some bitterness, wonderful in salad or
braised. Fall crops make the largest heads.
Very tolerant of fall frosts. Ours gallantly
stood consecutive nights in the low
twenties without apparent damage. Even if
you don’t like to eat radicchio, consider
growing its red heads as ornamentals. Left
in the ground over winter, it bolts in spring and
blooms with cornflower-blue chicory flowers every morning throughout the summer.

BRASSICA
2 gram packet sows 45 ft. About 8,000 seeds per oz. Hardy. Require warm
temperatures to germinate, but need 60s during seedling stage for optimal growth;
higher temperatures make seedlings leggy. Heavy feeders; for best growth, need
regular moisture and 2–3' spacing. Have done well for us succeeding onions and
garlic in beds. Cauliflower and broccoli are damaged by hard frosts, especially in
spring. Days to maturity are from direct seeding. Subtract 20 days from date of
transplanting.
BROCCOLI B. oleracea (botrytis group)
PAC CHOY B. r. (chinensis group)
/ oz packet sows 30 ft, approx 12,500 seeds per oz. Also known as Bok Choy.
Pac choy and carrots are among the best sources of beta carotene. We trialed baby
pac choy in 2011 and found that our present selections #3260 and #3264 are as
good as any.

Start broccoli indoors March-May for setting out May-July, or direct-seed in May or
June for fall crop. They are easier as fall crops because some varieties perform
poorly in hot summers. For better stands in dry conditions sow in trenches. Broccoli
dislikes extreme temperature and moisture fluctuations and was a challenge for
some of our growers in 2011.
How tastes change! In 1880, Hiram Sibley & Co. offered 37 varieties of cabbage,
just 3 of broccoli. Broccoli contains significant levels of sulforaphane, a substance
that helps detoxify carcinogens from the body, may limit the damage of serious lung
disease caused by smoking and protect against damage to blood vessels caused by
diabetes. Research at the University of Illinois indicates that teaming fresh broccoli
with a spicy food that contains the enzyme myrosinase enhances broccoli’s
anti-carcinogenic effects. Suggested teammates include radishes, cabbage, arugula,
brussels sprouts, mustard and horseradish or wasabi.
Several years ago research indicating that broccoli seed
sprouts are higher in sulforaphane than the vegetable itself
caused a run on open-pollinated broccoli seeds. The broccoli
seed which we offer is not food grade and we cannot
guarantee that it is fit for human consumption as sprouted
seeds. We have no control over the conditions in which it is
stored before it reaches us. Please consult your natural foods
wholesaler or retailer for sprouting seed.

Romanesco B. o. (botrytis group)
Chef Odessa Piper calls romanesco’s cone-shaped somewhat irregular whorl of
chartreuse florets “broccoli on acid.” Undeniably one of the most beautiful plants in
the garden when grown well. According to www.almostachef.com “its shape is a
perfect illustration of the mathematical principle of fractals…all florets are identical to
one another though the size may change,” and each one multiplied is an exact
replica of the whole. The florets grow in a spiral called the Fibonacci series “following
the golden number believed by Renaissance artists to be the origin of aesthetic
harmony.” Needs adequate spacing, a long season and extremely high soil fertility.
We had fantastic results planting in raised beds with 8" of well-rotted manure.
Well-grown plants are huge, and need about 10 sq ft each. Should be started indoors
in March or April and transplanted out in late May or June. Be patient; needs a long
season but doesn’t mind cool weather.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS B. o. (gemmifera group)
“They are a delicacy not surpassed by the finest cauliflower,” asserts the 1915 Salzer
catalog. I agree, but like cauliflower, they are fussy. They must be started indoors no
later than early April and transplanted into very fertile soil. A real key to success is to
top the plants around Sept 1. When I experimented by topping some and leaving
others, the difference was dramatic. Within two weeks the topped plants were putting
all their energy into making sprouts while the untopped plants continued to shoot up
more foliage and make only miniscule sprouts. Very hardy, improved by frost and
can be harvested past the first snowfall.

CAULIFLOWER B. o. (botrytis group)
Start like broccoli but needs more TLC. Do not allow to get pot-bound; avoid interruptions in growth. Cauliflower heads will “button” under stress. When heads first
appear, bend leaves over curd to prevent discoloring.
Minimum germination temp. 40˚, optimal range 55–80˚, ideal temp. 77˚,
emergence takes 20 days at 50˚, 10 days at 59˚, 6 days at 68˚, 63% normal
seedlings at 77%, only 45% normal seedlings at 86˚.

COLLARDS B. o. (acephala group)
To avoid flea beetles, plant in July for Sept. maturity. Resembles kale, but
not savoyed. William Woys Weaver says that the term collard is a
corruption of colewort. Coleworts were kales or small cabbages in their
leafy state before heading.

KOHLRABI B. o. (gongylodes group)
Don’t like kohlrabi? Try harvesting it young when it tastes like a
humble version of the globe artichoke. Its texture turns
tough, woody, and inedible if you wait too long.

Days to maturity are from date of transplanting, not seeding.
GLOBE ARTICHOKE Cynara scolymus
Artichoke seed needs vernalization to trick it into thinking it has already gone
through a season of growth. Start indoors in mid-February at warm temperatures (at least 60˚) avoiding direct hot sun or overwatering (misting is preferred). Transfer after 6 weeks to a cold frame when
outdoor temperatures stay above 25˚. Keep as cool as possible over the next 6 weeks without going below 25˚. Set out
with IRT plastic mulch (#9096-8) and/or row covers (#9101).
Feed heavily and give lots of moisture and lots of space (10
sq ft per plant). ~20 seeds/g.

CELERY & CELERIAC Apium graveolens
0.2 gram packet about 500 seeds, 0.4 gram packet about 1000 seeds, 75,000
seeds per oz. Tender, must be started indoors in March, 10–12 weeks before
setting out. Slow growers require rich moist soil to survive. Celery withstands light fall
frosts but gets kayoed by serious cold. Virginian Pam Dawling suggests that falling
apple blossoms are a good phenological sign that transplanting time for these crops
has arrived.
Minimum germination temperature 40˚, optimal range 59–70˚, ideal temperature
68˚ day, 59˚ night, needs fluctuating temperatures, emergence takes 12 days at 59˚
and 7 days at 68˚. Only 40% normal seedlings at 59˚ compared to 97% at 68˚.

EGGPLANT Solanum melongena
0.2 gram packet about 48 seeds, 0.4 gram
packet about 96 seeds. Growing eggplant is a
real challenge in our short season. The
selections below are the most reliable
producers we’ve found. We are looking
for more, but even our highly skilled
trialers often achieve only sparse
production of ripe fruits.
Minimum germination temperature is
60˚, optimal range 75–90˚, optimal
temperature 85˚. Some varieties require
fluctuating day and night temperatures.
Emergence is 13 days at 68˚, 8 days at 77˚ and
only 5 days at 86˚. Only 21% normal seedlings at
68˚, compared to 60% normal at 86˚.

OKRA Abelmoschus esculentus
2 gram packet contains about 30 seeds. Okra is very tender
and requires a lot of heat. Direct seeding is marginal in our
climate. We recommend starting indoors in peat pots and transplanting in 4–5 weeks, after all danger of frost has passed.
Minimum germination temperature 60˚, optimal range
70–90˚, optimal temperature 80˚. Emergence is 13 days at
77˚ and only 7 days at 86˚, but highest proportion of normal seedlings (92%) is at
77˚, falling off at higher temperatures.
Transplant 1' apart; do not disturb roots. Fleshy pods are best when picked young
and tender, no longer than 4". They are rich in vitamin A, protein, calcium and iron
and contain mucin, a digestive aid. Linda Paul of Bachamsville, VA, shared a recipe
for okra that never makes it to the table: “Dip slices in egg beaten with a little milk,
then coat with flour. Fry in hot olive oil, turning when bottoms are brown & crispy.
Add a little salt after draining on a paper towel. Has the same effect as popcorn.”

PEPPERS Capsicum annuum
Capsicum comes from the Greek kapto which means ‘bite.’ ~160 seeds/g.
Very tender, will not tolerate frost, dislike windy spots, will not set fruit in cold or
extremely hot temperatures or in drought conditions. Start indoors in March or April.
Set out in June. Black plastic highly recommended. Minimum germination soil
temperature 60˚, optimal range 68-95˚, optimal temperature 80˚. Emergence is 13
days at 68˚, only 8 days at 77 or 86˚. 70% normal seedlings at 59˚ increases to 98%
at 77˚.
Pick first green peppers when they reach full size to increase total yield significantly. Green peppers, though edible, are not ripe. Peppers ripen to red, yellow,
orange, etc.
For all peppers, days to full-color maturity are from transplanting date.

TOMATOES
TOMATOES Lycopersicon esculentum
9,000 seeds per oz, 0.2 gram pkt ~60 seeds, 0.5 gram pkt ~150 seeds.
Tender, cannot tolerate frost. Must be started indoors Feb-April. Minimum
germination soil temperature 50˚, optimal range 60-85˚, ideal temperature 77˚.
Emergence takes 43 days at 50˚, 14 days at 59˚, 8 days at 68˚ and 6 days at 77˚ and
86˚. 98% normal seedlings at 59˚ but only 83% at 86˚.
Avoid using fresh manure as it causes lush foliage with few ripe fruits. Instead
use generous amounts of well-rotted cow or horse manure, or compost to boost plant
vigor, and crushed eggshells at the bottom of each hole for calcium. Heavy
phosphorus needs. Respond well to foliar sprays.
Determinate (Det) bush varieties may be staked, should not be pruned.
Indeterminate (Ind) climbing varieties are customarily staked and pruned. Caging
without pruning delays ripening, reduces fruit size but increases production, prevents
sunburn and reduces fruit cracking and rotting. Staking and pruning produces earlier
larger fruits. One reason not to stake or prune (besides sheer laziness!) is that
foliage will give fruits some protection against light September frosts. Tomato experts
Carolyn Male and Kokopelli’s Dominique Guillet both oppose pruning, arguing the
more abundant the foliage the more the photosynthesis.
Large-fruited varieties with low fruit set and high sugar content are most likely to
crack. To reduce cracking avoid heavy watering and large fluctuations in day/night
temperatures and maintain adequate calcium in your soil.
Troubled by green or yellow shoulders? Green shoulders occur when fruit
temperatures remain too high for a prolonged period or when the fruit receives too
much direct sun exposure. To reduce incidence: prune properly or not at all and
maintain good foliage cover. Ohio State research shows that increasing soil organic
matter to over 3.5% while keeping pH at 6.4 or lower also helps.
More than 100 different chemical compounds account for tomato taste. Lycopene
is a red carotenoid pigment found in mature tomatoes raw or cooked. Reddest, ripest
tomatoes have the most lycopene. A Harvard study demonstrated that high lycopene
intake sharply reduced risk of prostate cancer in men and breast cancer in women.
Americans consume 18 lb of fresh tomatoes and 72 lb of processed tomatoes per
capita, not counting those they grow at home.
For all tomatoes, days to maturity are from date of transplanting.
Organically and sustainably grown seed was rinsed with a sodium hypochlorite
solution to reduce risk of seed-borne disease. This treatment poses no health risks.

Open-pollinated PASTE TOMATOES
A highlight near the end of each growing season is our
paste tomato taste-off. Over the years, we’ve gotten the
most customer requests for Roma, San Marzano and
Opalka. Opalka debuted in our 2010 catalog and met
great response. San Marzano appears to be the Sugar &
Gold of the paste set, its formidable reputation not backed
by our taste tests. We’ve tried numerous strains and all have
fallen short. Roma has similarly disappointed us.

Hybrid TOMATOES
Tomatoes were first hybridized in England in 1939. The tomato seed industry is now
88% hybridized. After extensive trialing we have upgraded our hybrid tomato section,
at last replacing the dropped Seminis/Monsanto varieties with comparable
alternatives. We welcome feedback on all our NEW! varieties.

See chart on facing page for uses and cultural
information. A botanical index appears on p. 103.
Archeological evidence dates the medicinal use of herbs
back 60,000 years to the Neanderthals. 85% of the world’s

and 40% of pharmaceuticals in the U.S.
contain plant-derived materials. Fewer
than 10% of the 100,000 known higher
plant species have been investigated
yet for their medicinal components.
Interest in traditional herbal home
remedies continues to grow.
Consult herbals for more detailed
information.
#2300 Takinagawa Burdock,
#5087 Resina Calendula, as well as
oats, mammoth red clover, and alfalfa
in the cover crops section also have
medicinal uses. Some medicinal
herbs such as black cohosh are
available as rootstock from our Trees
catalog. Some herbs are customarily
grown from divisions or cuttings
because they cannot come true from seed, such as scented thymes and flavored
mints; some require fall sowing of fresh seed, such as sweet cicely and angelica.
To use fresh herbs in cooking, triple the dried quantity called for in a recipe.
Drying herbs at home is not difficult. Whole leaves retain their flavor longer than
those crumpled or powdered. The flavor should last at least a year.
Statements about medicinal use of plants have not been evaluated by the FDA,
and should not be used for the diagnosis, treatment, cure or prevention of any
ailment. Before using or ingesting any medicinal plant, consult a healthcare practitioner familiar with botanical medicine.

BASIL Ocimum basilicum
Indispensable culinary herb, in cultivation for more than 3,000 years. Labeled the
“insanity plant” by ancient Greeks and Romans, but declared the Royal Herb of
France in the 16th century and named 2003 Herb of the Year. The Taiwanese call it
‘nine-storied tower.’ Basil is by far our most popular herb, the various kinds selling
over 15,000 packets in 2011.
Direct seed when soil warms in late spring or transplant after danger of frost in
well-drained moderately rich soil. Young seedlings will damp off if heavily watered
during cool cloudy weather. Water sparingly at first. Use row covers to enhance early
season vigor and speed maturity. Thin to 8–12", top mature plants to induce
branching and increase total yield. Harvest before plants blossom. Absolutely
intolerant of frost, damaged by temperatures in the 30s. Research from
Southwestern University in Texas showed that basils in low nitrogen soils had less
vigorous growth but higher contents of polyphenic compounds that may help prevent
many diseases and cancers.
Where so indicated our varieties have been sampled and found to be fusariumfree. While not a guarantee that the entire lot is fusarium-free, a negative test
improves the odds. No samples were taken for varieties not so indicated.
~600 seeds/g.

DILL Anethum graveolens
Name derived from the Norse dilla,
meaning ‘to lull,’ as the plant is said to have
soothing properties. Charlemagne used dill oil at
banquets to stop hiccups and belching among his
guests. The Puritans chewed dill seed to
keep their stomachs from grumbling
during long church services. Best
known in this country for pickling, but
essential for Russian, Polish and
Hungarian cuisine. Annual, sometimes classed as
biennial, grows to 4'. Upright plant branches out
from single stalk; the feathery leaves known as dill
weed. Likes well-drained moderately rich soil. ~500
seeds/g.

ECHINACEA spp.
Possibly the best-known of the medicinal herbs, widely used
as an immune-system stimulant. Species contain slightly
differing constituents, but all are antibacterial and antiviral.
Ethnobotanists have identified at least 14 native North
American nations that used
Echinacea for similar purposes:
sore throat, toothache,
infection, wounds, snake bite
and skin disorders, as well
as hair combs and children’s
toys. Joanna Linden likes to
tincture flowers and leaves in
August, and use the same
alcohol to tincture seeds
and third-year roots in
October. A wonderful
garden perennial: late
summer blooms
attract butterflies and
make good cutflowers;
dew collects in the spiral
mandala coneheads.

FENNEL Foeniculum vulgare
Genus gets its name from the Latin for hay, referring to the smell of the foliage.
Perennial grown as an annual with a licoricey taste. Tender stalks and leaves are
good for relishes, salads, and garden munches; leaves and
seeds excellent with fish. Seeds used in sweets, baked goods &
beverages. Bread becomes impregnated with a faint licorice
scent when seasoned with fennel. Fennel prefers rich welldrained slightly limey soil. Direct seed in late April or early May,
do not allow to dry out.

CILANTRO Coriandrum sativum
Useful for its fresh green foliage, its edible flowers which attract many beneficial
insects, and coriander—its dried seeds. Produces leaves in generous quantity,
essential flavoring in Indian, Chinese, Southeast Asian, North African and Latin
American cooking. Accentuates soups, salsas and bean dishes like no other herb.
Annual grows to 2' with whitish blooms. Make succession plantings in average
well-drained soil and keep watered for lushest leaf production. In warm locations will
stand longest as a fall crop. Thin early. ~60 seeds/g.

ANNUAL FLOWERS
Flowers are arranged here mostly by common name. See
chart on pp. 76–77 for cultural information and common
uses. A botanical index appears on p. 103. Days in parenthesis
after varieties indicates days to first bloom.
What to plant next to what? A good old trick is to cut a flower and walk it around the
garden, holding it close to other flowers to see which combinations are most
compatible.
AGERATUM A. houstonianum
Its name means ‘not growing old’ as the flowers retain color for a long time. Showy
annual also known as Flossflower. Great for summer borders. Water in hot weather.
Will not tolerate frost. Start indoors in an 80˚ spot 6–8
weeks before last frost, grow on at 60–65˚. Likes full
sun. Extreme temperatures inhibit flowering. Set 9–12"
apart. Cut for vase when flowers are first
opening. ~7,000 seeds/g.

CHINA ASTER Callistephus chinensis
Callistephus is from Greek kallos meaning beautiful
and stephos, crown. The China Aster began its
journey west around 1730 when a Jesuit
missionary noticed it growing in a field near
Beijing. Wildly popular by 1883 when Burpee
listed 19 different classes of them compared
to two each of marigold and zinnia. Good as
bedding plants or cutflowers. Range of color
includes blues, purples, pinks and white. Sow
indoors at 70–72˚ in late winter, transplant after
danger of frost. Cut stems when 2–4 flowers
have opened. Vase life is 5–7 days, longer if
you use a floral preservative. Aster Yellows is
a serious disease problem. Use floating row
covers to keep out leafhoppers, the vector.
~ 450 seeds/g.

ANNUAL FLOWERS
BACHELOR’S BUTTON
Centaurea cyanus
Named for the centaurs of Greek mythology. Easy to
grow, great for cutflowers and beds. Common name
may refer to the tight unopened buds’ resemblance to
buttons or to their popularity as boutonnieres. Also
known as Cornflower and, formerly, Hurt-Sickle because
its wiry stems dulled many a sickle during mowing time.
Start indoors at 60–65˚ 2 months before setting out or direct
seed in May in a sunny location. Make a succession planting
in mid-late June if you desire late-summer blooms. Will
self-sow. Lasts longer than most flowers after frost.
Gained top rating for drought resistance from Garden
Centers of Colorado. Cut when flowers are just beginning to
open—they’ll open more in the vase and last 6–10 days. 3'.
~210 seeds/g. Cannot ship to Alaska.

CALENDULA C. officinalis
Old kitchen garden flower, 18–20" tall, also known as Pot Marigold. Beautiful orange
and yellow semi-double flowers, good for informal bouquets, also edible. Blossoms
can be snipped from their stems, dried and added to soups, salads and stews. They
are also used in homeopathic remedies and herbal tinctures and ointments for their
antiseptic and soothing qualities. Calendulas have an extremely long blooming
period, thriving in cool weather and persisting through autumn’s first frosts. Can be
direct seeded in May or started indoors in cool place for early blooms. Readily selfsows. Don’t crowd, give them full sun. Deadhead to keep blooms coming and make
the patch more attractive or try succession plantings. ~150 seeds/g.

MARIGOLD Tagetes spp.
“We do not consider a flower garden complete without the good old-fashioned
French and African marigolds.” –Breck’s, 1885. Good for bedding, for cuts, in
planters or borders. Their warm colors cheer all summer long and positively blaze in
the light of early autumn. Native to the Americas and said to have been sacred to the
Aztecs. In 1939 Burpee’s Red and Gold hybrid was the first hybrid flower from seed
offered commercially in the United States. Fast and easy to grow from seed. Sow
after soil has warmed, or inside in a warm (75-80˚) spot, 3 weeks before setting out
after danger of frost. Likes heat and full sun. Tolerant to drought. ~300 seeds/g
unless otherwise noted.
French Marigold T. patula
Small bushy plants with flowers approximately 2"
across in a wide range of colors including
yellows, oranges, rich reds, mahogany, and
bicolors. Bloom styles, depending on the
cultivar, can be single to crested to semi or
fully double. Outstanding edging plants
bloom early summer till frost and stand well in
all weather.

ANNUAL FLOWERS
LARKSPUR Consolida ajacis
Formerly known as Delphinium consolida. Delphinium-like
long-stemmed flower spikes are used as cutflowers or in
dried arrangements. Upright 3–4' tall plants. The Giant Imperial
series (#5178-5194) features long racemes of double
flowers. Cut when one third of the flowers on the stem
are open. Likes cool moist conditions. Very slow to give
in to fall frosts. May be direct seeded in early spring
or started indoors and grown on at 55˚ and set
out in 8 weeks. Does not germinate well in
warmer temperatures. Refrigerating for a
week will improve germination. For cuts vase life
is 6–8 days. Excellent for drying. ~330 seeds/g except
Blue Cloud.

Signet Marigold T. tenuifolia
Also known as Gems, once known as Mexican marigolds, date back to 1798. Bloom
prolifically with edible 3/4" single flowers with yellow centers and a lemony fragrance.
Chinese Forget-Me-Not makes a great background plant to the Gems. Compact
mounded plants have finely cut ferny foliage. They don’t need deadheading, but
benefit from a light shearing in hot weather and from watering in dry spells. ~1000
seeds/g.

Easily grown climber with trumpet-shaped flowers provides color and shade, decorates fence or post. Plant with eastern exposure for best results. Nick seeds with a
file and soak overnight to speed germination. Germinates in 2 weeks at 75–80˚. Sow
outdoors after danger of frost or indoors in peat pots as they resent transplanting.
Overly rich soil will yield excess foliage and sparse blooms. ~25 seeds/g.

The name literally means ‘twisted nose,’ from
the Latin nasus for nose and tortus for twist.
Edible flowers with spicy sweet fragrance
lend a peppery-sweet taste to salads,
with each color adding contrast and subtle variations in flavor. Round leaves
also edible. Formerly used as a remedy
against scurvy. Blooms keep coming if
cut, needs moisture and cool temperatures
for optimal blooming. Intolerant of frost.
Germinates 7–10 days at 65˚. Cover the seed.
Avoid excess nitrogen, but don’t relegate nasties to
the worst soil. Likes full sun. Start indoors or direct seed after last frost. ~6 seeds/g.

PETUNIA P. x hybrida
“If I were limited to one flower with which to decorate my home I would choose
Petunias.” –Park’s Flower Book, 1934. Start indoors at 70–75˚ and grow on at same
temperatures for 8 weeks before setting out after danger of frost. Do not cover
seeds; light aids germination. Use loose medium and avoid overwatering.
Drought-tolerant sun lovers. All F-1 hybrids. ~10,000 seeds/g.

Wave Series Petunia
The Wave has caught on with our customers. Each plant carpets the ground with a
4x4' spread of vivid color. This versatile landscaping tool can be used as a low
hedge, as a ground cover, or trailing from pots. Wave showed extreme drought
tolerance in our trial, sailed through light frost, and bounced back after torrential rain.
Although never deadheaded or cut back, the 3" flowers just kept coming and coming.
Plant in full sun where its robust performance and light fragrance can sweep you
away. All varieties pelleted seed, packed by count and shipped in protective vials to
avoid crushed seed.

POPPY Papaver spp.
Sensuous luxurious flowers, about 21/2-3' tall.
Need light to germinate. Sow outside in
spring after frost or sow in fall for early
blooms the following summer. Thin to 9–12".
Like full sun. Will self sow. We offer two
heirloom breadseed varieties especially suitable
for baking. Poppies make wondrous cutflowers:
choose buds that have straightened up but not
quite opened. Immediately sear the cut stem with
a lighter and put in water. Poppies open after
several hours—an austere bouquet in the evening
can become a riot of colors by the next morn.
~2,000 to 7,000 seeds/g.

RUDBECKIA R. hirta
Named for Olaf Rudbeck (1660-1740), professor of botany at Uppsala in Sweden and a
teacher of Linnaeus. Improved versions of
these rugged North American native
Black-Eyed Susans outstrip their wild
counterparts in size and color. Droughttolerant. Start indoors at 70˚ and do not cover
the seed. Takes 14–21 days to germinate.
Transplant out after danger of frost at 15–18"
spacing. Likes full sun. See also perennial
#6269.

STOCK Matthiola incana
Old-fashioned bedding plant formerly
known as Gilliflower, with multiple spikes
of usually double flower clusters. Genus is
named for Pierandrea Mattioli, a 16th-century Italian botanist, while incana means
hoary or light grey, referring to its soft grey leaves. Good in beds, borders and
containers. Tolerates frost to around 26˚F. For earlier blooms, sow indoors at 60–65˚
6 to 8 weeks before setting out after danger of frost. Likes moderately fertile moist
well-drained soil, full sun. Stocks are Crucifers; for good rotation, don’t plant them
where you recently had brassicas or follow them with members of that family. ~600
seeds/g.

SUNFLOWER Helianthus annuus
Sunflower remains have been found in the Tabasco region of Mexico dating from
4,100 BCE. Prized for their seeds by humans and birds, and for cutflowers by market
growers, sunflowers also add a lighthearted touch to gardens.
Prechilling seed aids germination. Easy to grow. Start indoors 3–4 weeks before
last frost at temperatures of 65–75˚ or direct sow after frost, 3 to a pocket. Thin to
best plant, 1' or more apart. Rich friable soil yields tallest plants, drought stunts
growth. Will readily self-sow; for some fun leave a few volunteers in strategic
locations. For cutflowers harvest when the flowers are almost completely open.
How much sunflower seed does Fedco sell in a year? About 14,000 packets for
225 lb.
Varieties open-pollinated unless otherwise indicated.

TITHONIA T. rotundifolia
Also known as Mexican Sunflower. Attract butterflies with these tall floriferous
beauties. The dressy blooms often exceed 4" across and continue over a long
season. Heat-loving plant closely related to the zinnia. Sow outdoors after danger of
frost in 70–85˚ soil, or start indoors 6 weeks before last frost date. Tithonia sulks in
the cold so don’t bring it out too soon. ~100 seeds/g.

ANNUAL FLOWERS
SWEET PEA Lathyrus odoratus
Hazel Turrone of Jeffersonville relates, “My 8-year old son said he couldn’t have a
summer without sweet peas. How could I say ‘no’ to that?! Growing beautiful
gardens and beautiful children in Vermont.”
Native to Sicily, first domesticated around 1699 when amateur botanist and monk
Father Francis Cupani shipped seed for the variety that bears his name to a
hothouse grower in England. In the late 1800s extensive breeding work, especially
by Henry Eckford, expanded the range of available colors. Around 1900 Silas Cole,
gardener to Earl and Countess Spencer, found a sport with much larger ruffled
flowers but less scent than Eckford’s varieties. It created a sensation when it was
exhibited in 1901. From this variation derive all modern strains including Spencer,
Cuthbertson, Knee-High and Mammoth.
As interest in fragrance revived, Bodger Seeds Ltd. obtained as many of the
pre-Spencer varieties as possible and created Old Spice Mix in the 1970s. With
gardeners again demanding fragrance in individual colors, Bodger has
begun to offer the old strains individually and we are continuing to try
them.
Soak seeds for 12–24 hours prior to sowing. For earliest blooms,
sow indoors 2 months before setting out, or sow direct in spring. Need
darkness for germination which takes 10–21 days at 60˚. Old
catalogs recommended sowing in a 4–5" trench and filling in as
the peas grew. Likes full sun and moist rich soil, but many
perform poorly in heat, so mulching is recommended. If you are
growing for cuts, avoid windy locations, as exposure will make
plants stockier and stems shorter. Requires support. We use #9071
Trellis Plus. Harvest flowers frequently to keep blooms coming. Last
only 3 days in the vase, but perfume the air incomparably.
~12 seeds/g. Perennial sweet pea is #6296.

ANNUALS & DYE PLANTS
ZINNIA Z. elegans
Known as Youth and Old Age in the 1800s, these showy annuals were named for
German botany professor Johann Gottfried Zinn (1727-1759). One of the easiest to
grow from seed, and a favorite for bright color in Maine summers. Zinnia flower
essence is used to bring out playfulness and lightheartedness. Cut when flowers are
almost fully mature, just before pollen starts to form. Deadhead to continue
production. Sow in a sunny spot after last frost, or start indoors for earlier blooms.
Jason Kafka says zinnias perform better in tunnels than in the field.
Germinates 3–5 days at 80–85˚, more slowly at cooler temperatures. Grow on at
70˚ days, 60–65˚ at night. Temperatures below 60 delay flowering and may induce
chlorosis. Space at 9–12". ~110 seeds/g except where noted.

“You need only three dye plants: indigo for blue, madder for red and weld for yellow.
Three primary colors, all excellent fast dye plants.”

CELOSIA C. argentea
From the Greek keleos, ‘blazing,’ a reference to their brilliance. Commonly appear in
three groups, spicata (with spikes or pointed), cristata (crested, fancifully known as
brains), and plumosa (plumed). All share blazing colors, furry textures and unusual
shapes. From the Southern Hemisphere, at their best in hot dry weather. Known as ji
quan ha in China where both seeds and flowers are used for blood diseases,
bleeding and urinary tract infections. Should germinate within 10 days at 72–80˚.

GLOBE AMARANTH Gomphrena globosa
We’ve switched all but one color to the Las Vegas series (more
compact plants with the same stem length) which was 15 days earlier
and much more floriferous in our trials. Bloomed for Donna Dyrek on July
15. No gamble here, these are sure to sizzle!
Beautiful round clover-like 1" flowers on 2' stems perfect for drying. Also enjoyable as bedding plant. Easily grown in any soil, likes hot sun, blooms prolifically. Tolerates dry weather and some frost. Chill seed 4–6 weeks at 40˚, then
start indoors at 60–70˚ for best germination. Germination is erratic; can take
from 7–30 days. Grow on at 55–60˚. Do not overwater. Transplant in 8–12 weeks,
spacing at 12–18". ~200 seeds/g.

DELPHINIUM x cultorum
The Pacific Giants were developed in California after World War II. Magnificent
dense racemes make delphinium excellent in the border and as a cutflower. Old
seed goes dormant and is very hard to reawaken so order fresh seed each year.
Prechill seed for 2–4 weeks, then germinate at 65–75˚ and grow on at 50–60˚.
Likes sun, moist rich soil, can tolerate some shade. Heavy feeder; sidedress in
spring with well-composted manure. Harvest when one fourth of the flowers are
open. Zones 3-7. ~450 seeds/g.
