Corn Mirai® Mini

Corn Mirai® Bicolor

I grew up on a truck farm in the Midwest, where we all looked forward to the first sweet corn of the year. We would make a meal out of it. Needless to say, we tasted some pretty good sweet corn over the years, but nothing in my memory can I recall tasting as absolutely delicious as Mirai! We shared some of it with our neighbors and got the same comment -- well, almost. They said something like, “This was the best sweet corn we ever had.” Next year we plan on planting triple the amount of what we had this year. Fantastic!

Thanks, Bill K.

Corn Mirai® Hybrid The Sweetest, Most Tender Corn You'll Ever Eat! If you are lucky enough to remember the flavor of fresh-picked corn from your grandparents' vegetable patch, you've got an idea of how Mirai® tastes — except that this fantastic corn is even more tender, succulent, and super-sweet than any previous variety. Folks drive 100 miles or more to pick up a couple of ears at roadside stands, and in Japan it has cornered the market altogether. This corn must be tasted to be believed. Try just one packet this season, and next year you may find yourself sowing the entire garden in Mirai®! Mirai® is as easy to grow as other corn, but it must be isolated from other varieties (EXCEPT other Supersweets) by at least 50 feet. This is important — the plants will grow and set fruit just fine if grown among other varieties, but they will cross-pollinate and you won't be harvesting the true Mirai®. Of course, if you want to continue growing other varieties as well as Mirai®, just plant Mirai® at least 2 weeks after the others. (It appreciates warmer soil anyway!) Pkt is 100 seeds.

Bred for maximum taste, it is sweet yet meaty, with more solids and less gel, despite its walloping 12- to 16-ounce size. You must try these succulent deep red globes in sandwiches and salads!

New World Marigolds (Tagetes patula x erecta.)

Combining the best traits of 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!

Ornamental grasses are the busy gardener's best friend, offering the beauty of flowering perennials combined with the structural interest of shrubs and the carefree growth of wildflowers. Many are drought-tolerant, and some thrive in boggy or wet soils. Use them in difficult areas such as slopes and curb strips, as a backdrop in the border, and in mixed containers to show off their texture and form. Most bloom from late summer through autumn and into winter, making them excellent companions to spring-flowering bulbs and other early bloomers. Experiment with these super-easy, versatile grasses this season! Visit parkseed.com to see our extensive selection of grasses.

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. They come in almost all colors, blooming all summer in heat, full sun, and well-drained soil. Cut all you want — Zinnias are “cut-and-come-again,” so the more you cut, the bushier the plants will be and the more they will bloom!

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.

Bean

Park's Pick  “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.

The Best Corn Triplesweet Honey Select

Park's Pick 

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.

Triplesweet Avalon

Triplesweet Serendipity

√ 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.

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.

Melon There’s no taste like that of vine-ripened melons. Direct sow after the soil is warm or, for an earlier harvest, start indoors in pots.

Grow the 3 Sisters

00

Long before the term "companion planting" was coined, Native Americans planted corn, squash, and beans together in an arrangement called the 3 Sisters. The tall corn provided support for the climbing beans, while the spreading squash helped the soil retain moisture and tamp down weeds.

Sometimes a 4th Sister, Sunflower, was added. Find out how to grow your own 3 Sisters at our website!

From their spring blooms to their bold fall color, these plants are attractive, and they need little care to keep bearing for years.

Most plants yield 15 to 20 pounds of berries a season, and begin fruiting just 1 to 2 years after planting.

Strawberry Plants

P

Fragrant and bursting with flavor, homegrown strawberries are far superior to store-bought, and so easy to grow in the sunny garden and containers of all kinds.

Among the best fruit crops for the home gardener, asking only fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. They offer years of tasty fruit, renewing themselves from the runners they produce. Set plants 2½ feet apart. Shipped Bareroot.

Day-Neutral/ Everbearing Varieties Varieties fruit 3 months after planting — perfect for the far North and indoor winter crops! Sold as bareroots in bundles of 25.

Tribute

49229—Tribute. Delectable dark red berries appear in early fall the first year, then again the following spring! Highly aromatic and very heavy-bearing, this classic is the favorite for northern and eastern climates. The plant is resistant to red stele and verticillium wilt, and its production is always dependable.

Make Tribute a mainstay of your berry crop! Sun | H: 6" Fruits: Early Summer-Fall

49302—Mesabi™. Great Winter Hardiness! Heavy-bearing and delicious, this joint introduction from the University of Minnesota and the US Dept. of Agriculture is one of the most popular and successful midseason varieties. The bright scarlet fruit is medium to large, with a good mix of acids and sugars and a very strong fragrance. The texture is creamy yet firm, so you know Mesabi will hold up after picking while still offering melt-in-your-mouth succulence. Resistant to leaf scorch and to 5 strains of red stele, it also demonstrates good resistance to powdery mildew and leaf spot. Superb for cool-summer, cold-winter climates.

Sun | H: 6" | Fruits: Early Summer | Z: 3-8.

41331—Sure Crop. Developed by the USDA and a gardeners’ favorite for years, this super heavy-yielding Strawberry sets rich, sweet fruit in just about any climate. Expect about a quart of berries from each of these self-pollinating plants! Resistant to red stele and determined to thrive. (Not pictured.) Sun | H: 6", W: 24" | Fruits: Late Spring | Z: 2-9

49919—Jewel. PPAF#5,897. Begins about 2 weeks after Earliglow and keeps the berries coming over a long season. Large, firm, deliciously sweet fruit is excellent for fresh eating or canning and preserving, holding up well after picking. The flesh is particularly resistant to bruises and abrasions, keeping it attractive and healthy a bit longer than most others. Jewel was bred specifically for large fruit size, attractive appearance, and high quality.

It excels at all three, but its best feature is flavor! You will find it very productive and always delicious. Sun H: 6" | Fruits: Early Summer | Z: 4-8

A Cascade of Berries Using the “Grow ’n’ Bag” (page 86)

√ Dwarf Plants √ Pink Flower √ Delicious Fruits √ Easy to Grow Blueberry Sunshine Blue Its dense, rounded, semi-dwarf form is only 3 to 4 feet wide; its silvery leaves remain evergreen all winter; and its pink spring flowers are a refreshing change from the usual white. There’s no better foundation or patio container plant. Sunshine bears some of the most delicious blueberries around — 5 to 10 pounds per plant of dark blue berries with sweet, juicy flavor!

Self-pollinating and more tolerant than most to high pH! It’s a southern highbush type with a low chill requirement (only 150 hours), which means it’s great for the South — yet hardy all the way to Chicago! Best in slightly acid, rich soil. In colder zones, container plants should be sunk in the ground or protected during winter months. 3½-inch pot. Cannot be shipped to CA, OR, WA, MI, Sun | H: 3-4' | Fruits: Early-Midsummer | Z: 5-9 48092—$12.95 each | 3 for $35.85
