It's as Easy as 1 - 2 - 3!

1. The Perfect Soil

Seeds need a growing medium that absorbs water and oxygen, yet also drains well. Park’s Bio-Dome sponges provide everything seeds and seedlings need to germinate easily and grow big.

2. The Right Light

Many seeds can be started on a sunny windowsill, but in winter, fluorescents are best, offering specific light intensities and color mixtures. The folding light set on page 82 is an economical choice.

3… and Don’t Forget the Heat!

Giving seeds the correct temperature in which to germinate and grow is the secret to many a “green thumb” gardener’s success! Seeds sprout easily and quickly with a little extra heat! Just look at the results at right:

Windowsill Heat Mat. A Cozy Nest for Seed Starting

Trays! Why can't all of gardening be this easy? This super lightweight, rollable mat plugs into any household outlet to deliver 9 watts (120 volts) of gentle heat to the base of your seed-starting trays. 3 inches wide and 18 inches long, it lies flat and heats continuously without damaging paint or finish. So keep your home economically cool this winter while starting all your seeds in a sunny window! Works well beneath small potted plants, too. 5½-foot cord. Waterproof and made in the USA.

How Much Difference Does Heat Make?

Look at these 2 trays of 2-week-old pepper seeds, grown side-by-side in a 60° room. The seedlings grown with the heat mat are markedly larger and healthier!

Easy and economical, it keeps the soil in your Bio Dome or seed flat at about 85 to 90º, so seeds sprout and grow more quickly. Ideal for tropicals and difficult-to-start varieties, too! No thermostat required, but if you need to set an exact temperature for the mat, you can easily attach one (see right). Complete instructions and growing aids are printed right on the mat!

Marigolds

ANNUAL

(Tagetes spp.) Nothing is more easily grown than cheerful Marigolds! Naturally well-groomed, they bloom abundantly, providing carefree color in sunny beds or low borders. They are superb for edging, for patio containers, and even window boxes.

Try planting some in your vegetable garden to add color and repel nematodes (especially Golden Guardian, on p. 47)! Butterflies are particularly attracted to the yellowflowered varieties. For earliest bloom, start seed indoors; otherwise, sow directly in the garden after soil is warm. Pkt is 25 seeds, unless noted.

New World Marigolds

(Tagetes patula x erecta.) Combining the best characteristics of both French and African Marigolds, these splendid varieties set no seed and are daylength-neutral, so their bloomtime is far longer than the traditional summer season. They tolerate heat and rain far better than either French or African types, and have proven very adaptable to different soils and climates. And because they’re triploids, they have better branching and a higher bud count, for more flowers than ever before!

For long-lasting color in borders, patio containers and hanging baskets, Petunias are unsurpassed. Start seeds indoors 5 to 6 weeks before last frost date, after which they may be transplanted to a sunny location.

Avalanche. The Most Floriferous, Spreading Petunia Ever!

Avalanche’s unique growth pattern solves the problem of “empty-centered” baskets: as the plant grows, flowers continue to arise in the center.

The plants spread 3 to 5 feet, making Avalanche ideal also as a ground cover or in beds. Plus, it blooms early — in just 1 to 2 months! Seeds are packed in a ‘Crush-proof’ vial. Pkt is 10 pelleted seeds.

Sun; H: 6-8"; Blooms: All Summer

Celebrity. The fastest bloom time of all the floribundas we’ve grown (43 days)!

Horizon Yellow. Simply the Best Yellow!

A yellow Petunia is a rare enough thing, but this buttery-bright variety goes over the top with intense fade-proof color neatly edged in white. The big 2½ to 3-inch flowers are terrifically rainproof, springing right back after a good drenching instead of remaining closed and miserable like most others. And they just keep coming all summer on compact multifloral plants. But the best part — Horizon flowers just 5 weeks from sowing! Pkt is 50 seeds.

The Park Creed “Your success and pleasure are more to Park than your money.”

George W. Park truly believed and lived this creed. This was his interpretation of the verse from Proverbs, “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.” While this policy did not make him rich in worldly goods, he was rich in friends, for he felt that each customer was his friend. Along with it went a great responsibility to serve the many dedicated garden-lovers of America with the finest flower and vegetable seeds at reasonable prices, and in such variety that everyone would find all their wishes in Park Seed’s flower and vegetable books.

Z. elegans. Outstanding for beds, borders, containers, and long-lasting cut flowers, Zinnias are just about the quickest and easiest flowers to grow from seed.

Cut all you want — Zinnias are “cut-and-come-again,” meaning that the more you cut, the bushier the plants will be and the more they will bloom! Pkt is 50 seeds, unless noted.

The Original PARK-STARTS® Seed Starters With Park-Starts® you’ll grow healthy seedlings every time and transplant them more easily and safely. Just drop a few seeds in each preformed hole, set the blocks in a watering tray and place where they’ll get light and stay moist. Park-Starts® do the rest!

When transplanting time comes, just push out each cylinder from the bottom — your seedlings come out with every root intact! Root balls won’t crumble and fall apart as they so often do with other methods.

Park-Starts® are expanded polystyrene, 2½-inch x 3-inch x 6-inch perforated blocks containing 18 cylinders of pasteurized, disease-free peat moss, held together with a flexible binder that holds several times its weight in water. They come to you ready for immediate use.

And with each Park-Starts® shipment, we send you a free package of soluble seedling food, specially formulated to keep your seedlings growing into vigorous, healthy plants.

Beans

“Kwintus pole beans are the very best beans we have ever grown.

We planted approximately 65 ft. of our garden fence, and picked 146 lbs. of beans between June 8 and July 28. The flavor is delicious (they are about the only green vegetables our 16 yr. old grandson will eat).”

C. Walton Hotinger

Kwintus

Beans are so easy! Whether you grow tender Bush or Pole varieties (also called snap or garden beans) for eating and canning or shell types (also called dry or hard-shelled) for storage, beans grow readily in any sunny spot and offer great nutrition as well as delicious flavor. Direct-sow the seeds into the garden when the soil has warmed in spring, adding a nitrogen-fixing inoculant (see Nature’s Aid, p.

91) to improve the soil. And when your crop is harvested, be sure to till under the plants.

They do wonders for soil quality! Disease abbreviations: CBM–Common Bean Mosaic, CTV–Curly Top Virus, BB–Bacterial Brown Spot, R–Rust and HB–Halo Blight.

Pkt is 2 oz. (containing at least 100 seeds), unless noted.

Bush Beans: Loved for their compact habit and quick maturity. For continuous harvest, make plantings every 3 to 4 weeks until about 2 months before frost.

Pole Beans: A great “beany” flavor in a space-saving plant. The 5- to 8-foot vines should be supported and spaced 3 feet apart.

Corn fresh from the garden has a flavor infinitely superior to store-bought. Sow after last spring frost, when the soil is warm. To extend your corn harvest, make successive plantings weekly up to mid-July, or plant varieties with different maturity dates. Pkt is 200 seeds. Number of seed per lb. varies with variety. Cannot ship packets over 1 lb. to Canada. ✔ Regular Sweet Hybrids, like Silver Queen are traditional, old fashioned corn flavor, delicious without an emphasis on sweetness. High Yields. ✔ Sugar Enhanced Varieties, like Silver King and Silver Princess are sweeter than regular strains, and with a sweetness that lasts longer after the corn has been picked. A creamy, tender texture and no planting isolation needed from other sweet corn. ✔ Super Sweet Varieties are bred for twice the sweetness of regular corn. Will hold their tenderness and sweetness up to two weeks. They must be planted in totally warm soil and kept isolated from other types by 200 feet or 14 days planting time. ✔ New Triple Sweet Varieties are wonderfully sweet, but they were bred to add more original corn taste to the sweetness, improve crunchy texture, and hold their flavor and sweetness even longer.

Requires no isolation from other sweet corns.

Water 1-2 inches per week, until 3 weeks before harvest, then keep plants drier to produce sweeter melons. Cantaloupes are ready to harvest when the stem slips easily from the fruit with slight pressure.

Honeydews turn pale yellow or tan when ripe, even though the stems may not slip.

Days to maturity are from setting out transplants. Pkt is 25 seeds, unless noted.

Cantaloupe Ambrosia Hybrid. 86 days. Known across the country as one of the finest melons, it is extra sweet and juicy with a fruity flavor and salmon flesh. Vigorous, productive vines are tolerant of Powdery Mildew.
