So far, there has not been complete agreement about classifying various types. Tw i l l e y ’s research department continually looks at diff e rent varieties and how they perf o rm. The following information will help clarify types listed by Twilley, so you can choose what’s best for your sweet corn production. Homozygous Shrunken 2 Gene Type (sh2) Full homozygous — 100% of kernels are super sweet, with 2 to 3 times the sugars of normal sugary types at peak harvest. Kernels are characterized by high sugar content, low water-soluble polysaccharides, and crisp texture. Conversion of sugars to s t a rch is much slower than for normal sugary types, allowing longer storage, long-distance shipping. Isolation is re q u i red. The exclusive Summer Sweet® Brand Series is the ultimate example of 100% super sweet genetics. The series includes a wide range of yellow, white and bicolor varieties, all of the highest quality with excellent keeping quality for shipping/fresh market more than 48 hours after picking. Homozygous Sugary Enhancer Gene Type (se) Full homozygous — 100% of the kernels are sugary enhanced. Each tasty kernel has higher sugar content than normal sugary types but has comparable levels of starch which contribute to its creamy texture and delicious “corn” flavor. The kernels also have a very tender pericarp. Best used within 48 hours of picking. Isolation is suggested but not required. The exclusive Summer Flavor® Brand Series is the ultimate example of full homozygous se. The full range of yellow, white and bicolor varieties provide the ultimate in gourmet flavor — creamy, tender and sweet. The best for roadside and fresh market. Heterozygous Shrunken 2 Gene Type Some sweet corn varieties have some super sweet parentage, giving them approximately 25% of the kernels on each ear with the extra-high sugars of sh2. Best used immediately after picking; conversion of sugar to starch is rapid. Isolation suggested but not required. Heterozygous Sugary Enhancer Gene Type Many so-called se types fall into this category, with approximately 25% of the kernels on each ear being sugary enhanced. This gene provides about 15% higher sugars at peak harvest over normal sugary types. Best used immediately after picking: conversion of sugar to starch is rapid. Isolation not required. Normal Sugary Gene Type (su) The standard sweet corn for many years. Sweet, creamy kernels with tender skin best used immediately after picking; conversion of sugar to starch is rapid. Isolation not required. A NOTE ABOUT ISOLATION The reason for isolating super sweet (s h2) types is the same as for isolating white from yellow corn, but more important because marketability of the ear is affected. The sh2 types are isolated to prevent cross pollination with normal sugary sweet corn or field corn. Isolate in one of three ways: by maturity (10 days to two weeks), by distance (100-150 ft. upwind), or use a barrier planting.

Make the very most of your carefully grown produce. Display vegetables on a bed of ice, and keep cut herbs in water, for maximum appearance, freshness and nutritive value. Attractive pre-packs in clear plastic containers with snap lids can raise perceived value while keeping freshness longer and preventing customers from picking over delicate items. When marketing greens or peppers, be s u re to offer three or four types together since they are much more attractive to buyers. Cross-sell various salad items or baby vegetables. Twilley cooperates with trial sites in many locations across the country.

TSWV Types Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus continues to be a persistent problem in southern states and Hawaii. TSWV has grown into a threat that wipes out entire tomato crops. Symptoms are hard to detect before the fruit appears, and by then it is too late to save the crop. TSWV is almost impossible to contro l because the spread by tiny thrips that feed on infected plants carries the virus to healthy plants. So, disease resistance is the only method to control this problem. 4359 Amelia Hybrid 75 days. Aggressive disease package including Tomato Spotted Wilt resistance.

Tw i l l e y ’s re s e a rch department continually looks at diff e rent varieties and how they perform. The following information will help you select the best varieties for your production. We especially suggest any of the tomatoes in the Twilley “Professional Seeds Series™”. Maturity Consider the number of frost-free days in your growing area. Early crops are usually in demand for fresh market, but fruits may be small. Determinate vs Indeterminate Determinate plants grow shorter, with concentrated fruit set, and need no pruning or support. Indeterminate plants can be grown on the ground, but they usually yield larger, more perfect fruit over a longer period if supported and pruned. Fruit Type and Use Large-fruited types include globe and oblate shapes. There are also plum/paste and cherry types listed. Jointless vs Jointed Jointless fruits, when picked, are missing the stem (pedicel) where they were attached to the plant. This means fruit will show less damage in shipping. Jointed fruits have an enhanced appearance in fresh market settings because stem remains attached. Disease Tolerance Recently introduced varieties have better tolerance to disease, particularly to Fusarium and Verticillium wilts, which are present in many soils. There are other tolerances genetically built in; see descriptions and disease tolerance codes. Shipping/Fresh Market Descriptions list suggested best uses for each variety. Shipping types are indicated. Adaptability Many varieties perform well in certain regions; we include this information when possible. 50 Tomato Celebrity Hybrid Tomato Empire Hybrid Determinate Tomatoes 4389 Bonita Hybrid 70 days.

And cut fruit displayed in shrink wrap is a sure seller. Watermelon SsuperSweet™ Brand Variety #5544 Sometimes incorrectly referred to as “seedless”, triploids are sterile hybrids which, because of their genetic makeup, characteristically produce fruit with few or no tru e seeds. Sometimes cultural practices or weather conditions may result in fruit with some vestigial seeds or empty white seed coats. Because of this, triploid hybrid watermelons are not guaranteed to produce seedless fru i t . A special note to growers of triploid hybrid watermelons: Please follow careful practices to grow triploid hybrid watermelons successfully. We supply detailed gro w i n g instructions with your seed. For best results, we suggest starting seed in the greenhouse in peat pellets (on page 84) 3 weeks before outdoor planting time. Because of their genetic makeup, triploid hybrid watermelons must be planted with a diploid (regular hybrid or open-pollinated) variety as a pollenizer in order to assure fruit set.

While these varieties may have their place in the garden, hybrid varieties have advantages to the commercial g rower over these older types: namely diseaseresistance, more plant vigor, and often better yields. We suggest planting hybrid varieties, especially any of the Summer Flavor® Brand or Professional Seeds Series™ for best results.

NOTICE: Hybrid triploid watermelons are sterile, or true, hybrids which characteristically produce fruits with few or no true seeds. Because the absence, or relative absence, of “hard” or true seeds in the fruit of the melon is its chief distinguishing characteristic, the hybrid triploid watermelon is often referred to as a “seedless” watermelon. Despite the popular perception, hybrid triploid watermelons are not true “seedless” watermelons. The first melons to ripen in a field of hybrid triploid watermelons often contain small, vestigial seeds. In addition, certain genetic, cultural and climatic factors are known to cause the formation of empty seed coats, small, white, immature seeds and/or hard seeds in the flesh of the melons. Due to the wide variety of possible causes of hard seed or ovule formation, HYBRID TRIPLOID WATERMELONS ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO PRODUCE SEEDLESS FRUIT. Hybrid triploid watermelon production requires a high level of grower sophistication. Hybrid triploid watermelons require a pollen source and bees to serve as pollen vectors. Hybrid triploids also require special care for satisfactory germination. Growers are encouraged to contact University extension personnel for government publications and information concerning recommended cultural practices. Otis S.

TWILLEY, INC. (GROWERS, BROKERS, PACKERS/SHIPPERS) We want to advise you that the bacterial fruit blotch disease of watermelons has again appeared in watermelon fields in many watermelon producing areas. This disease has been periodically reported since its initial detection in 1989. Losses from this bacterial disease have ranged from minor to as high as 100% of the marketable fruits. The causal agent of the fruit blotch disease appears to be closely related to Acidovorax avenae subsp. citrulli (synonym: Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes subsp. citrulli). The pathogen could be seed-borne from the original seed lot, or result from other host infection. The disease has attacked many varieties of watermelon from different seed producers. Watermelon Summer Flavor® Brand Variety #800 Hybrid Although new testing procedures are currently under development, it is impossible to conduct any test procedures that will give 100% reliable results with regard to the identification of any seed-borne watermelon fruit blotch infections. Work is being done by public and private researchers, seed companies and growers, to determine improved identification and control measures and to develop statistically reliable testing procedures. Work is also being done to determine if different varieties of watermelon, both diploid and triploid, have any level of resistance or tolerance to this disease. No varieties to date have been identified as having any significant level of resistance.

These initial water-soaked lesions later turn necrotic and may also have chlorotic halos surrounding the dead tissues. The lesions will also often appear on the hypocotyls of young seedlings, resulting in the wilting and death of these young plants. The most dramatic and destructive phases of this disease are the fruit infections that occur much later in the growing cycle. The lesions on the top surface of the fruits appear as small, water-soaked a reas, which under the right conditions of high temperature and humidity, enlarge rapidly to cover most of the surface of the fruits. Fruit decay often follows. This later condition of the disease cycle could lead to significant economical losses to the gro w e r. In cases where the pathogen is carried in the seed, the typical lesions described above will appear on the young seedlings within 7 days after seedling emergence. If no symptoms are observed on the young seedlings within three (3) weeks after emergence, it is unlikely that the bacterium is carried on the seed and that any subsequent infection is most likely from other sources. It is imperative that each grower inspect the young plants during this early stage, in order to determine the presence or absence of these symptoms and to mitigate any potential economical losses. CAUTION: Symptoms that appear on plants in the early stages of growth, and especially those symptoms caused by secondary infections, may not be evident on new foliar parts as the plants develop. The pathogen, however, may still be alive in infected tissues, and may infect the fruits if favorable conditions of temperature and humidity prevail. Do not retain any plants that show any symptoms at any time. Variety Tips 50,000 Seeds 31.50/M 37.85/M 29.40/M 39.90/M 41.50/M 39.90/M Why Grow Hybrid Watermelons? Hybrids offer you, the gro w e r, many advantages over o.p. types: wellshaped, uniform fruits; crisp, fiberless flesh (a flavor plus); disease tolerance which lets plants pro d u c e m o re and longer. Many hybrid varieties are smaller-seeded and theref o re more economical. Growing Watermelons for Shipping? Shipping types do not necessarily have hard or thick rinds — resilience is what counts.

When Are Your Wa t e rmelons Ripe? Use the days to maturity as a rough guide to ripeness; then o b s e rve fruits daily. Check these indications: the side of the melon which rests on the ground (called the ground spot) turns from whitish to cream color (on solid, dark-skinned fruits, spot t u rns golden yellow); and tendril on the vine nearest the fruit begins to dry up. (Note — the classic “thump” test is not a reliable indication of ripeness.) 59 Watermelon Royal Sweet Hybrid Watermelon Crimson Sweet Jubilee Types Watermelon Royal Jubilee Hybrid 4729 Denver Hybrid - 85 days. 22 lb. 10 x 14".
