Dear Growers,
We are pleased to introduce these new Johnny’s-Bred varieties and to
announce that our Butterscotch PMR Butternut Squash has received a
National award as a 2015 All-America Selections (AAS) Winner. These new
varieties are the result of many years of breeding work and we’re looking
forward to seeing how they grow for you.
The Johnny’s breeding team welcomes John Navazio and Jason Cavatorta
to work with Emily Haga, Janika Eckert, and me. I’ve long admired John’s
work as a breeder and organic seed production specialist, and I’ve known
Jason since his college days. With our strengthened breeding program, we’ll
continue bringing you seed varieties that perform well in diverse growing
conditions with special flavor and unique appeal.
We are challenged and honored by your support.
Thank you very much for your business,

Robert Johnston, Jr.

Founder and Chairman

 A mission that matters
We are farmers and gardeners with decades of
hands-on experience in the field. Our company
was founded to help families, friends, and
communities feed one another by providing
superior seeds, tools, information, and service
for growing healthy foods. Johnny’s Selected
Seeds is owned by its employees — which means
that every single one of us is committed to your
success. It’s as simple as that.

Classical breeding methods

Our breeding program is at the core of Johnny’s
mission. We use painstakingly slow traditional
methods, often working 5 to 10 years to produce
a new variety. We have some 40,000 plants in our
breeding nurseries and we perform more than 8,000
hand pollinations per year. Our goal is to bring you
the best-tasting varieties that will perform well in
many climates, even in less-than-ideal conditions.

Rigorous seed trials

Johnny’s conducts trials in a range of growing
conditions at our Maine research farm and with
partners across North America, in the field and in
greenhouses. We plant varieties side-by-side to
evaluate their germination rate, disease resistance,
temperature tolerance, true-to-type performance,
yield, size uniformity and, above all, taste and
eating quality. Only the highest-performing
varieties are selected for our customers.

Superior-quality seeds
Seeds are living, evolving organisms. Our standards
for purity, germination, and pathogen resistance are
significantly higher than those of the Federal Seed
Act. We maintain our stocks to ensure uniform
characteristics and winnow out “off types.” Seed
lots are tested every 5 months. When you buy seed
from Johnny’s, you’re getting the quality you need
— and real value for your money.

Breadth of choice
Whether you’re growing for market or for your
family, we want you to be able to grow a broad
array of vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers.
In addition to offering proven seeds for all the
“basics,” you’ll also discover many hard-to-find
varieties. We offer hundreds of high-performing
organic, conventional, hybrid, and open-pollinated
seed varieties.

2 We hope you enjoy our catalog.

 Our Farm Crew, Albion, Maine.

For more than 40 years, Johnny’s has been

contributing to the success of growers just like you.
Here’s how we do it…
Commitment to organics
Johnny's has maintained a commitment to supplying
appropriate varieties to organic growers since our early days
in the 1970s. To deliver crop varieties that perform at an
optimum under organic farming practices, our breeding effort
concentrates on increasing the genetic breadth and resilience
of a variety’s ability to compete with weeds, resist disease and
insects, and perform well with organic inputs.

Personalized growing advice

At Johnny’s, we believe that the quality of our
growing information is as important as the quality
of our seeds. That’s why our knowledgeable team
of growers is here to help. We invite you to call us,
sign up for our newsletter, or visit our website to find
growing information, planting programs, manuals,
and product news.

Performance you can count on

Our seeds are bred and tested to perform well in real-
world conditions like yours. Temperature variations, soil
conditions, pests, and plant diseases all threaten the
vitality of your plants. The seeds you buy from Johnny’s
give you the best possible odds of beating these
challenges. You can count on it.

Artichoke and Cardoon

GROWING INFORMATION
Cynara spp.
CULTURE: Artichokes and Cardoon
require very fertile, well-drained soils in
a pH range of 6.5-8.0. Sow Artichokes
indoors 8-12 weeks before last spring frost
date. Cardoon is more vigorous and can
be started later, 6-8 weeks prior to last
frost date. Sow 1/4” apart and 1/4” deep
in 20-row or open flats. Germinate at
70-80°F (21-26°C). As soon as seedlings
can be handled, transplant to 4” pots
or 11/2” cell-type containers and grow
at 60-70°F (15-21°C) day and 50-60°F
(10-15°C) night. Transplant 6- to 12-week-
old plants to the field 2-3’ apart in rows

ASPARAGUS
Asparagus
GROWING INFORMATION
Asparagus officinalis
CULTURE: Asparagus is a long-lived
perennial vegetable crop. With proper site
selection, preparation, and care, it can
thrive for 15 years or more. Asparagus
prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH
of 7.0 in full sun or part shade. Soil testing
and bed preparation should be completed
in the season prior to planting. May not
perform well in warmer areas such as
TX, MS, GA, LA, AL, or FL, as it may not
become dormant, which is needed to
prevent frost/freeze damage to crowns in
winter months.
GROWING FROM SEEDS: Sow seeds
indoors 12-14 weeks before desired trans-
plant date. Sow 1 seed per 2” cell, 1/2-3/4”
deep. Germinate at 75-80°F (23-27°C) day,
65°F (18°C) night. Fertilize moderately as
needed. After last frost, plant seedlings
similarly to crowns, but use W-shaped
furrow. Plant the seedlings in the low
middle point of the W to ensure better
drainage. Gradually fill in furrow as plants
grow.
PLANTING CROWNS: Crowns can be

 BEANS
Bush Beans
GROWING INFORMATION
Phaseolus vulgaris
CULTURE: Choose well-drained soil with
a pH above 6.0. After last frost date sow
seeds about 2” apart, 1” deep, in rows
20-36” apart. Optimum soil temperature
for germination is 70-90°F (21-32°C).
Plant untreated seed when daytime soil
temperatures average at least 60°F (16°C),
or risk poor germination. Inoculants can
increase yields. For a continuous supply
make successive sowings every 2-3 weeks
through mid-summer. Dark-colored seeds
germinate better in cool soil than white

GROWING INFORMATION
Beta vulgaris
CULTURE: First-rate crops grow quickly in
light or loamy soils with a pH over 6.0. In
general, cool temperatures produce the best
flesh color. Acute weather fluctuations will
cause “zoning”, white rings, in the roots.
TRANSPLANTING: Sow seed in a cold
frame or indoors in early spring, about 5-6
weeks before transplanting out after heavy
frosts become infrequent. Sow seeds 1/2”
deep, 3-4 seeds per inch. Transplant out 3”
apart in rows 12-18” apart.
DIRECT SEEDING: Begin early sowings
when soil has warmed to 45°F 7°C. Sow
15 seeds/ft. 1/2” deep, rows 12-18” apart.
Thinning is not necessary. For a continuous
supply of greens and small tender beets,
sow seed at 2-week intervals until 8 weeks
before regular heavy frosts are expected.
DISEASES: Keep beets well irrigated to
prevent “scab”, the same disorder that
affects potatoes, causing raised brown
rough spots on the mature roots. Internal
breakdown or browning is most likely to
occur in alkaline soils after prolonged hot,
dry periods. This is caused by a deficiency of
the nutrient boron. Rotate crops to prevent
Cercospora leaf spot.
HARVEST AND STORAGE: Fork or
undermine, lift plants, wash and hydrocool,
and store bunches 10 days at 32°F/0°C and
95% relative humidity.
WINTER STORAGE OF ROOTS: Sow about
10 weeks before heavy freeze is expected.
Cut tops, wash, and store 6 months at 32°F
(0°C) and 95% humidity.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From direct seeding;
subtract 14-21 days if transplants are used.
AVG. SEEDING RATE: 1M sows 66’, 5M/

noted.

3871 BABYBEAT: 40 days.
The best mini beet. Babybeat is a true
baby, which means that it is well propor-

beets harvested young, Babybeat forms
a nice round shape with a small taproot
and smooth skin early on in growth. The
perfect size for cooking or steaming whole.
Small, attractive tops. Also available with
NOP-compliant pelleting.
2319 MONETA (Monogerm) (F1):

Precision sowing saves thinning. A
typical beet seed can contain 2-3 embryos,
which results in clumping. Monogerm
beet seeds contain only one embryo. This
feature eliminates thinning and results
in superior uniformity. Smooth, deeply
colored roots with medium-tall greens.

GROWING INFORMATION
Brassica oleracea var. italica
CULTURE: See “Cabbage”, Broccoli prefers
a well-drained, fertile soil high in organic
matter, a pH of 6.0-7.5 with a consis-
tent supply of moisture throughout the
growing season. Irrigate regularly for best
results. While more heat-tolerant varieties
are now on the market, Broccoli does not
generally do well in hot weather. The best
success is with spring and fall crops.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Brussels Sprouts

Churchill
Johnny's Brussels sprouts trials
GROWING INFORMATION
Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera
CULTURE: The most delicious Brussels
sprouts are grown in irrigated, fertile soil
with a pH above 6.0, and are harvested
after frosts.
TRANSPLANTING: During May, sow 2
seeds per cell in 50-72 cell plug flats, 3-4
seeds/in. in 20 row flats, or in outdoor
beds 1/4” deep. Seedlings should be ready
to transplant in 4-6 weeks. Space 18-24”
between plants, in rows 30-36” apart.
DIRECT SEEDING: About 4 months before
expected fall frost, sow 3 seeds every 18”,
1/4-1/2” deep, in rows 30-36” apart; thin to
1 plant per spot.
DISEASES AND INSECT PESTS: See
“Cabbage”.
HARVEST: After frost and until the end of
December in most areas, and through the
winter where cold is not severe. Pick when
sprouts are firm and well formed. Break off
the leaf below the sprout and snap off the
sprout. The upper sprouts continue to form
and enlarge as the lower ones are harvested.
WHOLE-STEM HARVESTING,
MARKETING, AND TOPPING: For a
once-over harvest (uniform maturity of
most sprouts on the plant) and whole-stem
marketing, the plants should be topped:
pinch out the growing point (rosette
of several small leaves at the top of the
plant) when the lower sprouts are 1/2-3/4”
in diameter. A full stem of uniform-size
sprouts will develop in about 4 weeks.
STORAGE: Before ground freezes, pull
plants out by the roots and place in a

 GROWING INFORMATION CABBAGE
Brassica oleracea var. capitata Cabbage
CULTURE: Cabbage as well as cauliflower,
Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and related brassicas
are heavy feeders. They require fertile soils in a NEW
pH range of 6.5-7.5, supplied with adequate
irrigation throughout the growing period.
EARLY SPRING CROP: Use early and
midseason varieties. Sow 2 seeds per cell in
50-72 cell plug flats, 3-4 seeds/in. in 20 row
flats, or in outdoor beds 1/4” deep. Seedlings
should be ready to transplant in 4-6 weeks. If
possible keep soil temperature over 75°F (24°C)
until germination, then reduce air temperature
to about 60°F (16°C). Transplant outdoors
12-18” apart in rows 18-36” apart. Cabbage
prefers cooler growing temperatures, between
55°-75°F (13°-24°C), optimum being 60°-70°F
(16°-21°C), but will produce good crops under
warmer, summer conditions. Farao Capture
FALL CROP: Use mid-season and storage
varieties. Start seedlings as above in May and
transplant to the garden in June-July. To ensure
mature heads, seed the crop early in areas
where heavy freezes occur early in fall.
WINTER CROP: Successful cabbage crops can
be grown where winters are mild (tempera-
tures rarely below 32°F (0°C)). Transplants
can be set out from September to February in
these regions.
DIRECT SEEDING: Sow 3-4 seeds 12” apart,
1/2” deep, rows 24-36” apart, thinning to one
plant in each group.
SPLITTING: Early varieties may split or burst
at maturity or from rapid new growth if rain
or heavy irrigation follows a dry spell. Splitting
may be partially avoided by slowing a plant’s
growth. To accomplish this, cultivate close to Gonzales Tendersweet
plants to sever some of the root system, or by
slightly twisting the plant.
DISEASES: Adhere strictly to a preventive Fresh Eating
program including: (1) long crop rotations
with non-cruciferous crops, (2) clean starting 2110G FARAO (F1): J CAPTURE (F1):

GROWING INFORMATION
Daucus carota var. sativus
CULTURE: Carrots require well-drained
soils, with a pH range of 6.0-6.8. Deep,
loose, and fertile sandy loams and peat
soils with good moisture-holding capacity
grow the straightest and smoothest roots.
PLANTING: Sow from early spring to
mid-summer, 3/4-1” apart (about 30
seeds/ft.), 1/4-1/2” deep, in 2” wide band,
or single rows 16-24” apart. For minimum
soil compaction, use raised beds with
2 or 3 rows 16-24” apart, beds 5-6’ on
center. Sprinkle the soil surface to keep
moist. Don’t allow soil to crust before the
emergence of seedlings which takes 1-3
weeks, depending on temperature and
moisture. If soil moisture during germi-
nation is an issue, we recommend using
pelleted seed. If necessary, thin young
seedlings to 3/4-2” apart, depending on
root size desired. Keep weed-free by tine
weeding and shallow hoeing. To prevent
greening, cover exposed crowns.
DISEASES: Blights can reduce yield and
quality. Alternaria blight shows as brown-
black lesions edged with yellow on leaf
margins beginning on oldest leaves.
Leaflets may shrivel and die. Cercospora
blight first appears as small dark spots
with yellow margins on the younger leaves
and stems. To prevent blights, practice a
3-year crop rotation. Copper fungicides
(see Index) can be employed as a preven-
tive measure or control.
INSECT PESTS: Carrot rust flies and
wireworms. Provide fertile growing condi-
tions and avoid ground recently in sod if
possible. Exclude adult insects with fabric
row covers (see Index.)
HARVEST: Carrots may be dug any time
after they reach a good orange color
(bright, not pale), at which stage flavor
develops. Generally the best harvest period
lasts about 3 weeks (longer in cool, fall
weather), after which time the roots may
crack or the taste and appearance may
decline. Make a few sowings at 3 week
intervals for a continuous supply of tender
carrots at their prime.
STORAGE: Plant carrots intended for
winter storage about 100 days before
expected fall frost. Carrots store best at
32°F (0°C) and 95% relative humidity.
AVG. SEEDING RATE: 1M/33’, 5M/166’,

CAULIFLOWER
Cauliflower
GROWING INFORMATION Vitaverde Veronica
Brassica oleracea var. botrytis Graffiti
CULTURE: See cabbage. Cauliflower
prefers a well-drained, fertile soil high in
organic matter, a pH of 6.0-7.5 with a
consistent supply of moisture throughout
the growing season. Irrigate regularly for
best results. Cauliflower does not do well
in hot weather; the best success is with
spring and fall crops.
PLANTING: Sow in 1-11/2” cell-type
trays or peat pots from early March
through June. If possible, keep soil at
least 70°F (21°C) until germination,
and 60°F (16°C) thereafter. Transplant
outdoors when seedlings are no older
than 4-5 weeks old. Older plants tend to
be stressed and do not perform as well
as actively growing seedlings. For early
spring planting, harden plants carefully
by gradually increasing cold before trans-
planting out, 18" between plants and
24-36" between rows.

GROWING INFORMATION — Apium graveolens
CULTURE: Celery and celeriac require fertile soils with a pH range of 6.0-7.0. Do not let the
season for optimum flavor and yield. GROWING SEEDLINGS: Sow in early March or 10-12
weeks before transplanting outdoors. Sow 6 seeds/inch, 1/8” deep, in 20-row, open flats or plug
trays. Keep soil moist and temperatures 70-75°F (21-24°C) if possible. Seedlings emerge in 2-3
weeks and then temperature can be reduced to 60-70°F (16-21°C). TRANSPLANTING: When
seedlings have 2 true leaves, transplant to 11/2” plug trays. Transplant outdoors in late May to
mid-June when weather is warm and settled. Set plants 6-8” apart in rows 24-36” apart. Irrigate
to keep soil moist. BOLTING: Caused by exposure of young plants to temperatures below 55°F
(13°C) for 10 days or more. When hardening plants before transplanting out, reduce water for
7-10 days. Do not harden off celery plants by lowering temperatures! DISEASES AND PESTS:
For leaf blights, rotate crops. Ensure adequate soil calcium and water to prevent “black heart”.
For Celery Mosaic (mottled leaves, twisted stems, dwarfing), control aphids.
HARVEST: Celeriac: Late summer through fall at a 3-5” diameter. Celery: Cut stalks when they
are of edible size. Stalks may be blanched if desired by hilling up with soil or by placing paper
collars around plants. STORAGE: After harvest remove field heat by dunking plants in cold water.
Store sound heads/roots at 32°F (0°C) with 98-100% relative humidity. Celery will store for 1-2
months and celeriac 6-8 months. CAUTION: In rare instances contact with the foliage can result
in a severe rash. When working with this crop on hot, sunny days, we recommend wearing long
sleeves and long pants and washing any exposed skin surfaces as soon as possible after contact.
SEED SPECS: SEEDS/OZ: See individual varieties. PACKET: 250 seeds.

GROWING INFORMATION
Cichorium intybus
CULTURE: For North American production,
these are vast improvements over older
types, but are still not very uniform or
completely predictable. Although bred for
specific seasons, it is still best to trial more
than one variety, using succession plantings
to determine which one suits your condi-
tions.
PLANTING/GROWING: Very similar to
raising lettuce (See Lettuce).
NOTE: Radicchio grows best in cool or
mild weather, i.e. fall, winter, and spring.
Summer crops can be successful if nights
are cool (below 60°F/16°C).
DAYS TO MATURITY: From transplanting;
add 14-21 days if direct seeding.

 GROWING INFORMATION SWEET CORN
Zea mays Sweet Corn
CULTURE: Cold soil planting risks poor germi-
nation! Even treated corn seeds (fungicide or
Natural III) risk low germination under 60°F
(16°C). Only treated seeds of good cold-ger-
minating varieties may be sown in 55°F
(13°C) soil if warmer weather is anticipated.
Otherwise wait until soil temperature is at
least 60°F (16°C). Please see the sweet corn
comparison chart for minimum soil tempera-
ture at planting for individual varieties. Make
first sowings of UNTREATED seeds when soil
is warm, at least 65°F (18°C). Floating row
covers may be used on early plantings to help
moderate soil temperature.
PLANTING: Plan to separate small plantings
of Super Sweets by a distance of 25 feet,
(acreage plantings,100 feet) from non-Super
Sweet varieties, or by time, a 10-day planting
date/maturity difference. Extensive crossing
with non-Super Sweets will result in tough,
starchy kernels in both types. Sow 3/4-1” deep,
6-7” apart (or 2 seeds every 9”, thinning to
1 plant), rows 30-36” apart. Increase this
rate for untreated seeds. Arrange in blocks
of at least 4 rows for proper pollination,

 OLD FASHIONED SWEET CORN — ORNAMENTAL CORN
Old Fashioned
Sweet Corn
Double Standard
289G DOUBLE STANDARD: AJ
73 days.
Open-pollinated, bicolor sweet corn.
Early maturing, with strong germination
in cool soil. We developed this hardy corn
for northern home gardeners, especially
seed-saving enthusiasts. It is based on a
nice yellow corn called Burnell that was
grown in Maine in the early 1900’s and
an early white heirloom from New York’s
St. Lawrence Valley. Nice-sized ears with
yellow and white kernels, some ears with
yellow kernels only. Unlike the seeds of
hybrid bicolor corn, which are all yellow,
these are yellow and white. If desired,
you can have early, all-white corn simply
by planting only white kernels. Excellent
traditional corn taste. Vigorous plants. Avg.
2,500 seeds/lb.

spread out the ears in a dry, airy place

you when the kernels are dry enough to
store, either on the cob or shelled.

CUCUMBERS

GROWING INFORMATION
Cucumis sativus (unless otherwise
indicated)
CULTURE: Requires warm, well-drained
soil high in fertility, with a pH of 6.8-7.2.
Consistent, adequate irrigation is needed to
produce an abundant crop. Cucumbers are
very sensitive to cold. Make sure both soil
and air temperatures have warmed prior to
planting. The use of poly mulch and row
covers will greatly enhance the vigor and
potential yields of cucumbers by providing
warmth and insect protection. For green-
house or high tunnel production the use of
gynoecious and parthenocarpic varieties are
highly recommended.
TRANSPLANTING: Sow indoors in 50-cell
plug trays, 1-2 seeds/cell, 3-4 weeks before
transplanting. Keep temperature above 70°F
(21°C) day and 60°F (16°C) night. Transplant
12” apart in rows 5-6’ apart. Do not disturb
roots when transplanting.
DIRECT SEEDING: Wait until soil is warm,
at least 70°F (21°C). Cucumber seeds will
not germinate at a soil temperature below
50°F (10°C). Sow 2 seeds/ft., 1/2” deep, in
rows 6’ apart. Thin to 12” apart.
DISEASES: Practice crop rotation, residue
sanitation, and choose disease-resistant
varieties. Control insect pests to prevent
bacterial wilt.
INSECT PESTS: Exclude cucumber beetles
with row covers at planting, or control with
pyrethrin or azadarachtin.
HARVEST: Once fruit bearing begins, pick
daily.
STORAGE: Hold cucumbers at 45-50°F
(7-10°C) and 90% relative humidity for up
to 2 weeks.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From direct seeding;
subtract about 10 days if transplanting.
AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE: 30 seeds
sows 15’, 100 seeds/50’, 250 seeds/125’,

High-yielding, white Indian type.
Compact, sturdy plants produce high yields

Greenhouse
Eggplants are one of the most popular greenhouse crops due to the very
high yield potential, rapid growth, and the fine quality that are possible
in a controlled environment. At least some heat is recommended for these
varieties, which were bred specifically for greenhouse production. They will
also grow well in hoophouses in areas with mild weather. Pruning the plant
back to two to four stems and growing on a trellis will result in the best yield.

Greenhouse Eggplant
CULTURE: Sow in flats or plugs 6-8
weeks prior to transplanting. Maintain an
even 77-79°F (25-26°C) soil temp. until
emergence, 70°F (21°C) thereafter. After
true leaves form, transplant into cell-type
containers or blocks. 4” blocks are the
standard. After transplanting, maintain
temp. 66-72°F (19-22°C) days and 64-66°F
(19-22°C) nights. Fertilize with a complete
nutrient solution (EC 2.5-3.5, pH 5.5)
or equivalent as needed to keep plants
dark green and healthy. Transplant to the
greenhouse when plants are 10-12” tall.
Space plants 1’ apart in rows 2’ wide,
with 3’ between rows. Grow plants with
2-4 stems per plant, resulting in a density
of 5-8 stems per square meter (9 sq.ft.).
TRELLISING: Prune the plants to 2-4
stems and trellis on a string like green-
house tomatoes.
HARVEST: Harvest fruit at desired size,
most commonly 1/2lb. for baby eggplant
and 1/4lb. for mini eggplant.
DISEASES AND PESTS: Practice crop
rotation or use new media to reduce
incidence of soil-borne disease. Regularly-
scheduled releases of beneficial insects will
help to control pests.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From transplanting.
TRANSPLANTS: Avg. 900 plants/1,000
seeds.
SEED SPECS: SEEDS/OZ.: 5,500-7,200
(avg. 6,000).
PACKET: 25 seeds.
MINI: 10 seeds.

Johnny’s offers mixes of greens that can be harvested at 3-6 weeks for use as
salad mix. Our mixes are balanced for color, texture, and flavor. Brassica greens
germinate and grow faster than lettuces but are susceptible to flea beetles. Our
mixes separate these groups so you can synchronize your sowings and optimize
your use of row covers to control flea beetles. For mesclun mix, plant one of our
lettuce mixes (pg. 64) 5-7 days before planting a greens mix. Mix leaves together

conditions and may be kept as a perennial in mild climates or indoors.

Sorrel
GROWING INFORMATION
Rumex spp.
CULTURE: Sorrel is a hardy perennial that
can also be grown as an annual. Start
indoors in cell-type containers sowing 2-3
seeds/cell covering 1/4”. Direct Seeding: Sow
in fertile soil in mid-spring, seeds 1” apart,
1/4” deep. For bunching thin to 8” apart in
rows 12-18” apart. For baby-leaf produc-
tion sow 12 seeds/ft. and cut entire plants
when 3-6” tall. Planting in light shade
and keeping the seed stalks cut increases
summer quality, but a good crop will
re-grow in fall even if plants bolt. Harvest
side leaves until plants become well estab-
lished; later, plants can be cut completely,
right above the crown. Plants spread and
can be divided.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From direct seeding;
subtract about 14 days if transplanting.
SEED SPECS: SEEDS/OZ.: See individual
varieties.

Mizuna
Asian Greens
With flavors ranging from mildly
pungent to sweet, Asian Greens tradi-
tionally have been used in stir fries
and soups but are now grilled and
used extensively in salad mix as well.
Their diversity of color, texture, and
flavor provide many opportunities
to be unique at market. When plants
begin to bolt, the tender shoots may
also be harvested for bunches.
GROWING INFORMATION
See Individual Varieties
CULTURE: Sow from early spring through
midsummer. In the South, greens are well
adapted to fall plantings. For full-sized
bunching, sow 15 seeds/ft., 1/4” deep in
2” wide bands in rows 18” apart. Most
varieties do not require thinning. See
catalog descriptions for varieties that do.
Harvest before flowering. For baby-leaf,
sow a 2” to 4” wide band at 60 seeds/ft.
Clip young leaves when 3-6” tall.
PESTS: Flea beetles are best controlled
by covering with floating row covers (see
Index) from day of sowing.

Corn Salad/Mache
Common in parts of Europe, mache is
tender with a pleasant nutty flavor.
Best for salads. The ability to thrive in
cool weather makes mache the ideal
counter seasonal market item. In
much of Germany, mache is planted
specifically for the winter holiday
salad market.
GROWING INFORMATION
Valerianella locusta
CULTURE: Mache, also known as “corn
salad” or “lamb’s lettuce”, grows well in
cool or mild weather conditions. Mache can
be planted anytime soil temperatures range
from 41-68°F (5-20°C). Do not sow if soil
temperatures have exceeded 68°F (20°C). At
temperatures greater than 70°F (21°C) the
seed will go dormant. In northern latitudes
mache can be grown year-round utilizing
open field, cold greenhouse, and high
tunnel systems. In southern areas mache is
adapted for open field winter production.
Sow 1” apart in rows 4-18” apart. Mache
germinates slowly in 10-14 days.
HARVEST: Cut young rosettes (entire
plants) at the root attachment when 2-3”
tall. Mache can be used alone, or as a
component of a salad mix.

KALE
Redbor and Winterbor (L to R)
GROWING INFORMATION
Brassica oleracea (except Red Russian)
CULTURE: Kale prefers a fertile, well-
drained soil high in organic matter with a
pH range of 6.0-7.5. Consistent moisture
will produce the best quality leaves. Plant
from early spring to approximately 3 months
before expected fall frost. For bunching,
sow 3 seeds every 8”, 1/4-1/2” deep, in rows
18-30” apart. Thin to 1 plant/group. For
baby leaf production, sow 60 seeds/ft. in a
2-4” wide band 1/4-1/2” deep. You can also
grow kale from transplants, like cabbage.
PESTS AND DISEASE: Kale is not as
afflicted with pests as are other brassica
crops, like cabbage. Apply row covers (see
Index) at the time of planting to exclude
pests from the crop. Control cabbage
worms and loopers with Bacillus thuring-
iensis (Bt.). We only stock seed lots that
have been tested free of black rot in a
sample of 30,000 seeds.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From direct seeding;
subtract about 14 days if transplanting.
HARVEST: Beginning about 2 months
after planting, harvest by clipping individual
leaves. Kale is very hardy, and the eating
quality will improve into the late fall and will
be harvestable through the winter in most
areas. Protecting with row covers can extend
the harvest period.
AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE: For
bunching: 220’/1,000 seeds, 1,110’/oz.,
24,000’/lb. For baby leaf: 16’/1,000 seeds,
115’/oz., 1,840’/lb.

KALE — KALETTES™
Kalettes™
Kalettes™ were developed through traditional breeding methods by crossing
kale and Brussels sprouts. Just like Brussels sprouts, the plants are tall and
produce crops of florets on their stalks. Kalettes are late: their maturities range
from 110 days to 138 days, depending on the variety. Also, be aware that the
plants grow quite large before the florets form so patience is required when
growing this crop.
Kalettes are new and improved, earlier varieties of the late-maturing bicolor
sprout in the Kaleidoscope Flower Sprouts® Mix. While Flower Sprouts only have
one harvest slot late in the season, the three varieties of Kalettes offer early,
mid, and late maturities.

Thin to 6” apart for large leeks.
BLANCHING: During the growing period
hill the plants with soil 2 or 3 times, higher
with each hoeing. This forces the leaves
higher up the plant resulting in extra long
blanched stalks and a much greater edible
portion. When using the “dibble method”,
hilling is reduced or eliminated.
STORAGE: Wash leeks and store several
weeks at near freezing in a humid cooler in
boxes, or store in a root cellar with roots in
moist soil/sand/peat mix.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From transplanting;
add 20-30 days if direct seeding.

Leek Planting Program

You can plant several varieties of leeks with different maturity dates at
the same time and harvest in succession. The less cold tolerant leeks are
faster growing, and the more cold hardy leeks are slower growing. Each
variety will mature in its appropriate season from a spring planting.

 MELONS
Melons
Cantaloupe
These are the familiar American melons
with orange flesh and a corky “net” on the
skin. Fruits are ripe when skin color warms
and the fruit slips easily from the vine.
We offer varieties of both Eastern (deeply
ribbed skin) and Western (smooth-skinned)
melons. Johnny’s varieties compete very
favorably with the run-of-the-mill super-
market melons which tend to be very firm
and have only mildly sweet flavor.

2488 HALONA (F1): 73 days. (F3, PM)

Earliest Eastern variety. Be the first to
market with Halona. Fruits mature extra early,
avg. 4-5 lb., and have an excellent flavor.
Intermediate resistance to fusarium wilt races 0,
1, and 2; and powdery mildew.

2471 EARLICHAMP (F1): 75 days. (F3, PM)

Western type with good flavor. Fruits are
early, and the flesh is sweet and thick. Much
sweeter and juicier than the Western shipping
melons offered in grocery stores. Oval fruits are
well-netted with sweet, thick flesh. Intermediate
resistance to fusarium wilt races 0, 1, and 2; and
powdery mildew.
2784 SARAH'S CHOICE (F1): B seldom crack and have a tough rind,

been a winner in our trials. Its flavor, combined

size, make it the best variety for retail sales.
Intermediate resistance to fusarium wilt races 0,
1, and 2; and powdery mildew. Bred by Brent
Loy, Univ. of NH, and offered exclusively by
Johnny’s.
158 WRANGLER (F1): 76 days. (F3, PM)
Italian/Tuscan cantaloupe. Similar flavor to
an Eastern-type cantaloupe, but the fruits are a
more elongated oval shape and the sutures are
darker green. Harvest at slip stage; fruit is ripe
when sutures change from dark green to pale
green. Intermediate resistance to fusarium wilt
races 0, 1, and 2; and powdery mildew.

Attractive, dark-green speckled fruits avg. 4-5
lb. with very sweet and aromatic white flesh.
Sapomiel requires a long, warm growing
season in order to sweeten up sufficiently, so
we do not recommend it for Northern areas
with short, cool growing seasons as the melons
may not fully mature. Cut fruits from the vines
when they change from dark green to medium
green and the blossom ends soften slightly.

ONIONS
GROWING INFORMATION
Allium cepa
CULTURE: Onions require a fertile, well-
drained soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Sandy
loam soils are ideal, but raised beds or
raised rows are recommended for heavier
soils to promote soil drainage. Full sun is
required for optimal growth.
DIRECT SEEDING: In April or early May, or
as soon as the soil can be prepared in early
spring, sow in a 2” wide band, about 2 seeds/
in., 1/4-1/2” deep, rows 12-18” apart. Thin to
11/2-2” apart for highest yields in fertile soil.
Thin to 3-4” apart for larger onions and 4”
apart for the “sweet mild” type.
TRANSPLANTING: For varieties of the
“sweet mild” class, and for the storage
type in extremely short-season areas, sow
seeds indoors in flats in late February
to mid-March. Broadcast 1/2” apart and
cover 1/4”. Tops may be clipped to 5” tall.
Transplant to the garden 4” apart, or sow 5
seeds in each cell of 1-11/2” diameter plug
trays, thinning to 3 per cell. Transplant each
cell 6” apart.
CULTIVATION: Keep onions well weeded
with shallow cultivation.
WATER: Onions are shallow rooted and
grow best with at least an inch per week of
rain or irrigation.
DISEASES: Set-grown onions are more
prone to disease than seed-grown onions.
If you grow from both sets and seeds, plant
in different locations to help avoid any
disease spreading to the seed-grown crop.
HARVEST: When onions have begun to
develop skins and tops are falling over,
pull and sun-cure at least a week before
removing tops.
STORAGE: When dry, clip off tops and
store in onion bags or shallow boxes at near
freezing and 65-70% humidity.
DAY LENGTH: Onion varieties differ in
the length of day required to make a bulb.
Those requiring fewer daylight hours are
grown in the South where the daylight
period during summer is shorter than in
the North. Most of our varieties are of the
“medium” or “long-day” type, and if they
are grown in the South, the days there are
too short to initiate good bulb develop-
ment. Refer to “Adaptation” in each variety
description for details.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From direct seeding;
subtract 10-15 days if transplants are used.

Johnny's Field-Grown Onion Plants
Onions are easy to grow from our field-grown, spring-dug plants–just separate them
and transplant out. Plants arrive as dormant starts–expect them to be dry and/or pale
in color due to dormancy and shipping. They are very hardy and will thrive if cared for
properly. Offered in bunches of approximately 50-60 plants, one variety per bunch.
Plants are shipped weekly from mid-January through the end of April. You may choose
your desired ship week or plants will be sent at the appropriate planting time for
your location (visit our website for more details). Please provide a physical address for
shipments to AK and HI (no PO Boxes). Plants cannot be shipped to Idaho, Malheur
County in OR, outside the U.S., or to U.S. territories.

few days after they form, when the leaflets
have just formed and are still tender.
Whole plants can also be harvested when
they are 6-8" tall. If cut above the first
node, a second crop is possible. At this
stage, the entire plant will be edible and is
excellent for salads or light cooking. Vines
will grow to 36" and don't need support,
but the crop is usually harvested at 6-8" as
described above. Petite Snap-Greens will
produce snap peas but they mature rather
late and yield less than standard snap peas.

GROWING INFORMATION
Peppers
Capsicum annuum (Unless otherwise noted.)
CULTURE: Peppers will thrive in well-drained,
fertile soils with a pH of 6.5. Abundant phos-
phorus and calcium is needed for the best
results.
GROWING SEEDLINGS: Sow seed in 20
row or shallow flats 4 seeds/in.,1/4” deep, in
late March or about 8 weeks prior to trans-
planting outdoors. If possible, maintain soil
temperatures 80-90°F (27-32°C). Pepper seeds
germinate very slowly in cooler soil. When the
first true leaves appear transplant seedlings
into 2” cell-type containers or 4”pots. Grow
plants at approx. 70°F (21°C) day and 60°F
(16°C) nights.
COLD TREATMENT: Exposing the seedlings
to controlled cold treatments can increase
the number of flowers and fruits. When the Intruder Olympus

Greenhouse Peppers
Peppers are a slower-growing, more generative crop than the other popular
greenhouse fruiting crops like tomatoes, cucumbers, and eggplants. We have
divided our greenhouse pepper lineup into two groups based on how vigorous
or generative the plant is because it is important to match the plant’s growth
habit to the type of environment in which it will grow. High-tech greenhouses
optimize the growing environment, which promotes vegetative growth, so more
generative varieties are used to keep the plants balanced. In simpler greenhouses
with less extensive climate control, plants are likely to encounter heat, cold, and
other stresses more often. Stressful conditions tend to reduce a plant’s vigor, so Bentley
peppers bred for simpler greenhouses are more vigorous. We offer a more gener-
ative pepper of each color for high-tech greenhouse growing, and a more vegeta-

POTATOES
GROWING INFORMATION
Solanum tuberosum
CULTURE: Potatoes grow best in well-drained,
fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Johnny’s
potatoes are Maine-grown Certified Seed
Potatoes. Cut tubers into pieces roughly 11/2-2
oz. (1-11/4” diameter) each, with at least one
“eye” per piece. Small tubers may be planted
whole. Potatoes can be planted in early to
mid-spring as they tolerate cool soil and
moderate frost. Plant seed pieces 2-3” deep, 12”
apart, in rows 30-36” apart. Plants will emerge
2-3 weeks later. When the plants are 6-8” tall,
the row about 4” high along the base of the
plants. Repeat hilling process as plants grow until
hills are about 12” high. Hilling protects devel-
oping tubers from “greening”.
DISEASES: The best disease control is fertile soil,
crop rotation, and consistent moisture.
INSECT PESTS: Row covers work well to exclude
insect pests such as Colorado potato beetles,
aphids, and leafhoppers. Otherwise, scout for
yellow-orange potato beetle eggs on undersides
of leaves and crush them; manually remove and
dispose of larvae and adults. Potato beetles can
also be controlled with a spinosad insecticide.
HARVEST: Small, “new” potatoes can be
harvested beginning about 7-8 weeks after
planting. Main crop tubers are harvested in fall.
After foliage has died back, leave tubers in the
off soil, and allow skins to dry before storing.
Store in a cool but not freezing (40°F/4.4°C)
dark, humid place.
AVG. PLANTING RATE: 10 lb./80-100’ at 12”
spacing; 110 lb./1,000’; 1,600 lb./acre in rows
36” apart.
SEED SPECS: avg. 8-10 pieces/lb.; fingerling
type: avg. 20 pieces/lb.
SHIPPING NOTE: Seed potatoes ship in late
March to early April when weather moderates
to avoid freezing in transit. Shipping schedule
(subject to change due to inclement weather):
Last week of March: AL, AR, AZ, CA, FL, GA,
HI, LA, MS, NC, NM, OK, SC, TN, TX

HARVEST: Before frost or after 1 or 2 light
frosts. Clip stems close to the vine. Use care
to avoid gouging or bruising. Avoid lifting
fruits by handles. Store under cover with
plenty of air. White pumpkins should be
harvested once foliage starts to die back

 RADISHES
GROWING INFORMATION
Radishes
Raphanus sativus
CULTURE: Radishes require friable, well
drained soils with a pH range of 5.8-6.8.
Sow at any time during the season,
beginning in early spring. Use 2-3” wide
bands, seeds about 3/4-1” apart (about 35
seeds/ft. except 10 seeds/ft. for 624 Red
Meat and 616 Nero Tondo), 1/2” deep,
rows 1’ apart, or any row or bedding
scheme that will eliminate unplanted
ground to discourage weeds. Radishes are
adversely affected by hot, dry weather. They
remain in prime condition only a few days
and should be grown rapidly with plenty of
moisture to be mild, tender, and attractive. D'Avignon
If growth is checked, roots may become
tough, pithy, and too spicy.
INSECT PESTS: Use floating row covers at
time of planting to control flea beetles and
cabbage root maggots (see index).
HARVEST AND STORAGE: Harvest on
time, beginning at about 3-4 weeks when
roots are the size of a large marble. Bunch
or top, hydrocool, and refrigerate. Topped
radishes will keep 3-4 weeks in good, crisp
condition if kept at 32°F (0°C), 95% relative
humidity, and in breathable packaging.

Burdock
Chiko
GROWING INFORMATION
Arctium lappa
CULTURE: DIRECT SEEDING: Burdock
requires a deep, 1-2’, well-drained soil
to produce quality roots. Sow anytime in
spring, about 2” apart, 3/4” deep, in rows
24” apart. Thin to 2-3” apart.
HARVEST: Fall through early spring. A
raised bed with removable sides enables
harvesting from the side, which results in

GROWING INFORMATION
Armoracia rusticana
CULTURE: Well-drained, friable soil with
a pH range of 6.2-6.8 will yield the best
results. When roots are received, work the
soil about a foot deep and incorporate
compost, manure, or fertilizer. Make a 5-6”
deep furrow and plant root cuttings 12”
apart, slanted 2-3” deep with the flat-cut
end up. Irrigate if soil is dry and as needed
throughout season. For smoother, larger
primary root harvest, carefully remove
secondary or side roots as crop grows
(known as “lifting”). Save side roots for
re-planting. If producing a wild-root or
field-run crop, this process is not needed.
HARVEST: Roots can be harvested in late
fall when 8-10” long and 2-3” in diameter,
or in early spring before re-growth (dig
roots before plant leafs out to maintain
pungency). A hard frost will sweeten the
flavor of horseradish. Lift plants up with
spading fork or shovel, being careful not to
damage the thick, fleshy tap roots.
STORAGE: Store trimmed, washed roots
in plastic bags or containers in refriger-
ator, unwashed roots in root cellar. Ideal
temperature is 32-33°F (0-.1°C).
GROWING INFORMATION
Helianthus tuberosus
CULTURE: As soon as possible after
seed pieces are received, break or cut
tubers into one- or two-eye pieces of
approximately 1-2 oz. each (about 11/2”
diameter). Plant pieces 4” deep and
12-18” apart in rows 18-36” apart. Do
not allow seed pieces to dry out before
planting. If you cannot plant them right
away, store the tubers in a cool place
34°F (1.1°C). Plants grow best in light
or sandy soil, but will also grow in clay
soil if organic matter is added. Choose
a permanent location as Jerusalem
Artichokes are difficult to eliminate once
established.
HARVEST: Tubers may be harvested
from late summer through late fall. It is
best to harvest tubers after several frosts
as this improves their flavor.
STORAGE: For later consumption:
Tubers may be frozen, refrigerated in
perforated plastic bags, or stored in a
root cellar in perforated plastic bags or
slightly vented containers. Keep tubers
damp to prevent shriveling. The next
crop can be planted from harvested
tubers or leave some in the ground to
grow again. For seed stock: Keep tubers
in a bucket of damp soil in a basement or
other cool, damp space. Do not freeze.
SEED SPECS: One lb. of seed pieces
(avg. 12 pieces) will plant 12-18’.

Shallots
GROWING INFORMATION
Allium ascalonicum
CULTURE: Direct seed in early to mid spring
(or in late summer to fall in areas where
onions are seeded then) 1/2-3/4” apart in a
2-4” wide band, 50 seeds/ft., 1/2” deep, rows
10-18” apart. Sown at this rate, from most
seeds a single shallot will form; clusters will
form if sown more thinly.
HARVEST: Harvest in summer when tops fall
and begin to brown. Dry in an airy place. Store
near freezing at 60-70% relative humidity.
DAY LENGTH: Like onions (see onion culture
box), all shallots are day length sensitive. Bulb
formation is triggered by long days. Time
sowing so the plantlet has at least 3-4 leaves
before the longest day.
BOLTING: Induced by exposure to cold
temperatures after the plant has 3-5 leaves.

Spinach
GROWING INFORMATION
Spinacia oleracea
CULTURE: Spinach grows in a wide range
of soils if moist and fertile, but is sensitive
to acidity; pH should be at least 6.0, pref-
erably 6.5-7.5.
SOWING DATES: Spinach germinates
best in cool soil. Begin sowing in early
spring as soon as the ground can be
worked. Summer sowing in soil over 85°F
(30°C) risks low or erratic germination.
If sowing has to be done during warmer
weather, irrigating can help cool the soil
and improve germination. Sow in mid to
late summer for a fall harvest. Spinach can
also be planted from late summer until
freeze-up in protected structures for fall,
winter, and spring harvest. Using floating
row covers offers additional winter protec-
tion.
PLANTING AND HARVEST: For bunching
and full size: Sow 10 seeds/ft., 1/2” deep,
rows 12-18” apart. Harvest spinach full
size but before bolting, cutting just below
root attachment for “rooted spinach”, or
cut higher for “clipped spinach”. For baby
leaf: Sow in a 2-4” wide band, 3/4” apart,
about 40 seeds/ft. Clip small leaves in 3-5
weeks, depending on time of year and
speed of growth. Triple-rinse leaves, sort
out cut and broken leaves, and package.
For a continuous supply, sow every 7 days.
STORAGE: Store at 32°F (0°C) and 95%
relative humidity 10-14 days.
AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE: For
full-size leaves: 10M/1,000’, 290M/acre

In the North, spinach can be grown in
a hoophouse right through December.
The key is to have spinach established
before the day length drops below
10 hours; after that the growth rate
slows but the plants will tolerate cold

SQUASH, SUMMER
GROWING INFORMATION
Cucurbita pepo
CULTURE: FROM TRANSPLANTS: See
“Winter Squash”.
DIRECT SEEDING: Sow beginning in late
spring after danger of frost, when soil
temp. is at least 62°F (17°C) for treated
seeds and 70°F (21°C) for untreated seeds.
Seeds will rot in cool, wet soil. Sow 3 seeds
every 12” (thin to 1 plant), 1/2-1” deep, in
rows 5-6’ apart.
ROW COVERS: Heavier grade floating row
covers (see Index) will provide about 4°F
of frost protection, and add warmth for
increased vigor and earlier harvest.
DISEASES: If the first few fruits wither,
blacken, and/or fail to enlarge, it indicates
an absence of pollination, remedied when
male blossoms appear and provide pollen.
Viral diseases tend to be cyclic; watch for
resistant varieties. Downy mildew may occur
in cool, damp weather, powdery mildew
in hot, dry periods and in the fall. Till in
vines before winter or remove and compost
plants. Copper fungicides (see Index) offer
some preventative control if applied early
enough.
INSECT PESTS: Protect young plants with
floating row covers to exclude cucumber
beetles, squash bugs, and vine borers.
Pyrethrin (see Index) offers some control.
Squash bug eggs (brown to brick red, laid in
concise groups) on underside of leaves can
be crushed by hand. Keep borders mowed.
For vine borers use Bt or Azadirachtin
around the base of young plants. Cut borers
out of vine and hill soil over the wound.
Clean up refuse in the fall, and spring-plow
the ground to bury the pupae.
HARVEST: Sow every 2-3 weeks for consis-
tent supply. Cut or gently twist off young
fruit. Handle with care to avoid scratching
fruits. Harvest regularly, 2-3 times/week
depending on age of plants and daylight.
HARVEST SQUASH BLOSSOMS: Male
blossoms have thin stems, females have
thick stems and a bulbous base where
fruit is developing. Harvest male/female
blossoms at midday, when fully open, for
use in salads or for stuffing. If squash crop
is desired, harvest only male flowers, being
certain to leave a few to pollinate female
flowers. Clip flowers from vine 1-2” below
flower base with sharp scissors or pruners.
STORAGE: Refrigerate fruit at 32-50°F
(0-10°C), 80-90% relative humidity, for 1-2
weeks.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From direct seeding;
subtract about 14 days if transplanting.

GROWING INFORMATION
Cucurbita spp.
CULTURE: Fertile, well-drained soil is best.
FROM TRANSPLANTS: Sow 2-3 seeds in
2” containers or plug trays 3 weeks before
transplanting outdoors. Thin to 1-2 plants/
cell with scissors. Transplant after frost
danger when weather is warm and settled,
about 18” apart for bush and small-fruited
varieties, and 24-36” apart for large-fruited
varieties. Take care not to disturb roots!
Plastic mulch and fabric row covers will help
plant establishment and exclude insect pests.
DIRECT SEEDING: Sow in late spring after
frost danger when soil is warm, minimum
62°F (17°C) for treated seeds and 70°F (21°C)
for untreated seeds - seeds will rot in cool
every 12” (24-36” for large-fruited varieties)
1/2-1” deep. Thin to 1 plant per spot. Rows
6’ apart, 12’ apart for larger fruit.
DISEASES: Cucumber beetles can carry
bacterial wilt and must be controlled.
Gummy stem blight (black rot) causes black,
sunken spots to appear on fruits in storage
and the tan scabby patches on Butternuts in
the field. Downy mildew may occur in damp
weather, powdery mildew in cooler, dry
periods and in late summer. Consult your
control. Choose well-drained soil to avoid
phytopthora.
SPRING COLD PROTECTION: AG-19
(heavier grade) floating row covers will
provide about 4° of frost protection and add
warmth for vigor and an earlier harvest.
INSECT PESTS: Protect young plants with
floating row covers (see Index). Cucumber
beetles, squash bugs, and vine borers
can be a challenge. Pyrethrin offers some
control. Squash bug eggs laid on the
underside of leaves may be located and
crushed. Keep borders well mowed. For vine
borers, cut out of vines and hill soil over
the wound. Clean up refuse in the fall, and
spring-plow the ground to bury the pupae.
The Butternut type has solid vines usually
not bothered by borers.
FALL FROST: Frost kills leaves and can
thus facilitate harvest; however, it can also
damage fruits and cause spotting and poor
storage. Mature fruits can usually tolerate 1
and sometimes 2 or 3 light frosts without
substantial damage. Sprinkler irrigation
wards off moderate frost damage to fruits.
HARVEST: Before heavy frost, cut stems
about 1” from the fruit when stem is drying
and skin is hardening. Handle fruits like eggs!
CURING: Cure in the field to dry and
toughen skins by exposing fruits to sun for
5-7 days or so, covering in the evening if
frost is likely. An indoor method of curing is
to expose squash to 80-90°F (27-32°C) with
ventilation for 3-5 days.
STORAGE: Store at 50-60°F (10-15°C),
50-75% relative humidity, and good air
(10°C) exposure events causes chilling injury,
reducing storage life.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From direct seeding;
subtract about 14 days if transplanting.

At Johnny’s, we devote a substantial
amount of time and effort to our own
breeding programs, trials, and seed
production. We are pleased to offer
a wide variety of types with excellent
eating quality. All are storage
varieties.
Different squashes achieve their best
flavor at different times.
Acorns (and the red squashes
Sunshine and Red Kuri) are
delicious right from the field, but
only last a maximum of 3 months.
Spaghetti Squash is ready to eat
when picked and will keep up to 3
months.
Delicata and Sweet Dumplings
can be enjoyed immediately after
harvest, and store for 4 months.
Buttercups are sweeter after a few
weeks of storage, and will keep up
to 4 months.
Kabochas get sweeter with a few
weeks of storage. The green ones
will keep 4-5 months and Winter
Sweet will keep up to 6 months.
Butternuts and Hubbards are
better after a few weeks in storage
and will keep to 6 months.
Whether you’ve grown for your own
consumption or for market or CSA
sales, the general rule of thumb
for best flavor and storage is to
consume the smallest fruit first.

Kabocha
Kabocha squash are closely related to
the buttercups. Given a few weeks to
properly cure, they can be among the
sweetest of the squashes, offering a
savory depth of flavor, dry texture,
and edible skin that sets them apart
from butternuts and acorns. Stored at
60-65°F (16-18°C), full-size kabochas
will maintain their splendid eating
quality for 6 months or more. Mini
kabochas will not keep as long, but
can be eaten right out of the field.
Try any of our delicious kabochas,
and see why many consider them to
be among the very best of the winter
squashes.

GROWING INFORMATION
Ipomoea batatas
CULTURE: Sweet Potatoes grow best in
well-drained, sandy loam soil with a pH
of about 6.5. You will receive bare-root
“slips”. Expect them to be wilted, dry, or
pale in color from shipping. This is normal.
If planting must be delayed, wrap the root
end of the slips in moist paper towels,
keeping the leaves and stems dry. Place
upright and keep at room temp., out of
direct sunlight and wind. Plant out as
soon as danger of frost has passed, and
soil temp. is at least 60°F (16°C). In cold
regions, black plastic mulch may help to
warm the soil and is recommended. Plant
slips 3-4” deep in raised beds 10-18”
apart in rows 36-60” apart. Keep well
irrigated until plants are established.
DISEASES: Avoid diseases such as scurf
with crop rotation and by removing all
plant debris after harvest.
INSECT PESTS: Sweet potatoes are
usually free from major insect attacks, but
problems may arise from Japanese beetles,
cutworms, wireworms, and sweet potato
weevils (in southern U.S.)
HARVEST: Dig roots in fall before hard
frost and before soil temps. drop to 50°F
(10°C). If plants get frosted, harvest as
soon as possible - frost damage will travel
from the plants down into the roots, and
affect storage quality.
STORAGE: Brush soil from roots and cure
in a warm (85°F/29°C), dark, well-venti-
lated place for 4-7 days to toughen skin.
Store at 60° (16°C), in a dark, humid place
and avoid unnecessary handling.

potato with pink skin and extra sweet,
deep orange, stringless flesh. A clear
favorite in Johnny’s taste tests. Very good
yields of uniform, cylindrical roots - even in
Northern climates - with the potential to
outperform Beauregard. Excellent storage
potential when cured properly. A unique
selection developed over 20 plus years by
organic grower John Mahon. Despite the
name, this variety is a sweet potato, not a
yam.
100 Slips $56.00; 500 Slips $232.00;
1,000 Slips $430.00.
Sweet Potato Shipping Information
Sweet potato slips are shipped weekly from
late April through the end of May. You may
choose your desired ship week or slips will
be sent at the appropriate planting time
for your location (visit our website for more
details). Beauregard and White Yam slips
cannot be shipped to CA, outside the U.S.,
or to U.S. territories. Mahon Yam™ slips
cannot be shipped to CA, MS, outside the
U.S., or to U.S. territories.
T ech T ip
The young leaves and vine tips of
sweet potato plants are also edible
and popular in Asian cuisine. They can
be stir-fried or cooked like other Asian
Greens.
In northern climates, give your sweet
potato slips some extra warmth, and
protect them from browsing deer by
covering with row cover.

DETERMINATE: (bush) varieties do not
need pruning and may be grown with
or without support; fruit ripens within a
concentrated time period.
INDETERMINATE: (climbing) varieties should
be staked, trellised, or caged, and pruned
for best results; fruit ripens over an extended
period. Call for additional cultural tips.
CULTURE: GROWING SEEDLINGS: Don’t
start too early! Root-bound, leggy plants
that have open flowers or fruit when
planted out may remain stunted and
produce poorly. Sow in flats, using a soilless

732 MATT'S WILD CHERRY: BD
60 days.
The wild tomato with great flavor.
These small, 5 gm., cherry tomatoes are
deep red, have a tender, smooth texture,
and sweet, full flavor. High sugar content.
Though the flavor is superior, it doesn’t
yield as well as modern varieties, and
the fruits are soft. Fantastic in salsa and
for fresh eating. Some resistance to early
blight and late blight.
756 MOSKVICH: BJD
60 days.
One of the most appealing extra-early
tomatoes. Fruits are early, deep red, and
cold tolerant. Rich flavor. Smooth and
globe-shaped, 4-6 oz. with a small stem
scar.
2766 RED PEAR PIRIFORM: D Early Brandywine type. Large to very
78 days.
Superb flavor. Pear shaped, 7-9 oz. fruits
with ribbed shoulders. Old-fashioned, juicy,
sweet flavor. Harvest when shoulders are
still green. From Liguria, Piedmonte, and
Abruzzo regions of Italy.
748 NEPAL: BJD
78 days.
Smooth and flavorful in late season.
The 10-12 oz., medium-large, globe-
shaped, bright red fruits are rather soft
but meaty with excellent flavor. Plenty of
old-fashioned tomato flavor.
3817G AMISH PASTE: JD
85 days.
A long-time favorite heirloom plum.
Large for a sauce tomato, Amish Paste’s
slightly irregular plum-to strawberry shaped
fruits avg. 8-12 oz. with excellent flavor.
These meaty tomatoes are good in salads
and great for processing. A Slow Food USA
Ark of Taste variety.
3816 SPECKLED ROMAN:
85 days.
Striking red sauce tomato with yellow
streaks. Speckled Roman is an elongated
plum tomato, avg. 6-8 oz., with bright red
skin and golden streaks. Meaty red flesh
has little juice, is good for fresh eating,
and cooks quickly into sauce. Excellent
flavor. Developed by Seed Savers Exchange
member John Swenson.

Pink
2166 ROSE: BJD 78 days.
Rivals Brandywine for taste. Deep pink
and smoother than Brandywine, Rose is
every bit as meaty and flavorful. Fruits
weigh 10+ oz. Good yielding.
3815G GERMAN JOHNSON: JD
75 days.
More vigorous, higher-yielding
Brandywine type. Excellent flavor. Deep
pink tomatoes are earlier, more uniform,
and slightly smaller than Brandywine at 8-16
oz. Fruits have lots of deep, acidic tomato
flavor and a rich, creamy texture. There are
two strains of this variety; this is the regu-
lar-leaved strain, which is earlier and more
productive than the potato-leaved strain.
712 PRUDEN'S PURPLE: JD
67 days.
large (many over 1 lb.) fruits are flattened
and smooth (except for shoulder ribbing
on some), and resist cracking. Vivid dark
pink skin with crimson flesh. Medium tall,
potato-leaf plants.
2845 BRANDYWINE: JD 78 days.
One of the best-tasting tomatoes. We
describe Brandywine’s luscious flavor as
“very rich, loud, and distinctively spicy.”
The large fruits, often over 1 lb., have
a deep pink skin and smooth red flesh.
The medium-tall, potato-leaf plant is best
staked or caged. Our “Quisenberry” strain
is considered among the best.
Black
2971G BLACK PRINCE: JD
74 days.
Mahogany brown with good flavor.
Unusual brown shoulders become
orange-red at the blossom end. Color
will be deeper and more pronounced in
sunnier locations. Distinctively rich, fruity
tomato flavor. Relatively smooth, 3-5 oz.,
3” globes show less cracking than typically
seen in most heirlooms.
2795G
JAPANESE BLACK TRIFELE: JD
74 days.
Unusual pear shape and burgundy color.
Good yields of 4-6 oz. fruit with excellent,
rich flavor. Harvest when shoulders are still
green for best taste. Potato-leaf plants.
753G CHEROKEE PURPLE: JD
72 days.
Unusual variety with full flavor. Medium-
large, flattened globe fruits weigh 8-12 oz.
Color is dusky pink with dark shoulders.
Multilocular interior ranges from purple to
brown to green. Relatively short vines.
3814G BLACK KRIM: JD 80 days.
Russian heirloom. Black Krim combines
bold, smoky flavor and good texture with
an unusual appearance. Deep brown/
red, 8-16 oz. tomatoes have brown/green
shoulders that get darker with more heat
and sunlight. High yielding.
TOMATOES
Orange and Yellow
744 YELLOW PEAR: D
70 days.
Petite, distinctive salad tomato. The
tall, vigorous vines bear quantities of small,
3/4-1 oz., lemon yellow, pear-shaped fruits.
Mild flavor. Indeterminate.
749 VALENCIA: BJD
76 days.
Sunny orange fruits with full tomato
flavor. Round, smooth fruits average 8-10
oz. Their meaty interiors have few seeds.
This midseason tomato is among the best
for flavor and texture. Our own selection
of a Maine family heirloom with a Spanish
accent.
2372 STRIPED GERMAN: JD
78 days.
Bicolor red and yellow fruit. The flat,
medium to large, variably ribbed-shoulder
tomatoes are shaded yellow and red. The
marbled interior looks beautiful sliced.
Complex, fruity flavor and smooth texture.
Medium-tall vines bear 12+ oz. fruit.
716 GREAT WHITE: BJD
75 days.
Big yellow-white fruits with mild
flavor. There are a number of heirloom
“white” tomatoes, and Great White is the
best we have seen. The 12+ oz. fruit is
meaty with few seeds, a mild non-acid
flavor, and creamy texture. The medi-
um-tall plants are less viny and mature
earlier than other “whites”.
714 YELLOW BRANDYWINE: JD
78 days.
An orange old-timer with rich flavor.
An orange version of Brandywine. The
fruits are larger than Valencia (12+ oz.).
This potato-leafed variety can be finicky to
grow, with roughly shaped fruit one year
and smooth the next.
Green
2276 GREEN ZEBRA: J
72 days.
Green-striped salad specialty. A
delicious, tangy salad tomato, ripe just as
the green fruit develops a yellow blush,
accentuating the darker green stripes. The
3-4 oz. fruits are the ideal size for slicing
into wedges for salads. Productive over a
long season. Developed by Tom Wagner.
Though technically not an heirloom, we
feel this is the best place to list it.
821G CHEROKEE GREEN: JD
72 days.
Unique color, great flavor. Craig
LeHoullier sent us this seed as a selection
out of Cherokee Purple, and we think it is
one of the best green tomatoes. Medium-
sized, 8+ oz., green fruits acquire some
yellowish-orange color on the blossom end
when ripe. Lots of bold, acidic, complex
tomato flavor.

Greenhouse Large Fruited 3176 MARNERO (F1): BC

Every year, more growers are using
protected culture to get a jump on the
season, reduce the effects of variable
weather, and improve the flavor and
yield of tomatoes. Even a simple
hoophouse can add 3-4 weeks to
tomato season, and shield a crop from
pests and diseases. Putting tomatoes
under cover increases the quality and
quantity over a longer season.
GROWING INFORMATION
Solanum lycopersicum
CULTURE: Sow seeds in desired medium
6-8 weeks prior to transplanting. Maintain
a constant 80-90°F (27-32°C) soil tempera-
ture. When first true leaves just show,
transplant the seedlings into cell-type
containers or blocks. 2” or larger containers
will produce larger, stronger root systems;
4” blocks are the standard. Grow plants at
a constant 66-68°F (19-20°C) day and night
temperature. After cotyledon leaves have
expanded, fertilize with a complete nutrient
solution (EC 1.0, pH 5.8) or equivalent
as needed to keep plants dark green and
healthy; increase EC as plants grow. When
transplanting into the greenhouse, maintain
73-77°F (23-25°C) day and night tempera-
ture for a few days after transplanting
to promote rapid vegetative growth and
root establishment. Once fruit begins to
set, lower night temperature to 62-66°F
(17-19°C) and keep a daytime temperature
of 68-72°F (20-22°C).
TRELLISING: It is recommended to prune
the plants to 1-2 stems and trellis up a
string.
HARVEST: Fully vine-ripen fruit only for
local retailing or use. Pick fruit less ripe the
further the distance and the longer the time
between harvest and the customer.
DISEASES AND PESTS: Use crop rotation
or new media to reduce soil-borne disease
problems. Regularly schedule releases of
beneficial insects to control pests.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From transplanting.
Transplants: Avg. 950 plants/1,000 seeds.
SEED SPECS: Seeds/oz.: (varies): 6,875-

 TOMATOES
Grafted Organic Tomato Plants
Many growers have seen the benefits of
grafted tomato plants, but not everyone
has the time or opportunity to graft
their own. Now Johnny’s offers certified
organic seedlings of some of our
favorite varieties grafted to vigorous,
disease-resistant rootstock. Tomato
plants grafted to Estamino or Maxifort
will be more productive and resistant
to soil-borne diseases than plants
grown on their own roots. Johnny’s
recommends Estamino rootstock for
general applications, as it promotes
strong fruiting on a more manage-
able plant. We recommend Maxifort
when extra longevity is desired, as its
vigorous vegetative growth will enable
a sustained harvest over a longer period
of time. Both rootstocks offer excellent
resistance to soil-borne diseases. Please
note that when plants arrive they are
a smaller size than are typically trans-
planted. Order your plants at least 1-2
weeks before desired transplant date to
grow to desired size.

A unique new kind of tomato, all the Artisans are small in size and striped.
Some are an elongated cherry tomato shape, dubbed the julienne tomato. These
have Tiger in the name (except Blush). The Tiger tomatoes can be cut crosswise
into rounds or lengthwise into roughly oval shapes. The others are a traditional
cherry tomato shape with stripes, known as the Bumble Bees. Over a decade in
the making, independent breeders at Artisan Seeds used traditional breeding
techniques to develop these tomatoes. They are some of the most attractive we
have ever seen all by themselves; even better when mixed. And, the best part is,
they taste as good as they look.

 TURNIPS — WATERMELONS
Turnips
GROWING INFORMATION
Brassica rapa
CULTURE: Turnips are tolerant of moderate
frost as seedlings in spring, and as mature
plants in fall. Turnips prefer a fertile, well
drained soil, with a pH range of 6.0-7.5.
Sow early spring through late summer in a
2-4” wide band, seeds 1” apart (35 seeds/
ft.) for small turnips or 2” apart and half
this rate for larger turnips. Sow 1/4-1/2”
deep in rows 12-18” apart. INSECT PESTS:
Floating row covers installed at the time
of sowing will keep the turnips free of
insect pests, including flea beetles and root
maggots. HARVEST: Young, radish-size
turnips in about 30 days, full size in 40-50
days. Roots are smoothest when small.
STORAGE: Turnips with greens store at
32°F (0°C) and 95% relative humidity for
10-14 days. Not intended for long-term
winter storage. AVG. DIRECT SEEDING
RATE: 320’/oz., 3.1 oz./1,000’, 5 2/3 lb./

GROWING INFORMATION
Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus
CULTURE: Follow instructions under
“Melons”.
RIPENESS: There are 3 ways to tell when
a watermelon is ripe: 1) the tendril nearest
the point on the vine where fruit stem
attaches is browning/dead, 2) the spot
where the fruit rests on the ground is
yellow, and 3) the classic mystery - you hear
“punk”, as opposed to “pink” or “pank”,
when you flick the melon with your fingers.
STORAGE: Hold at 45°F (7°C) and 85%
relative humidity 2-3 weeks.
AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE: 340’/oz.,

BACTERIAL FRUIT BLOTCH: Bacterial Fruit
Blotch (BFB) is a serious disease that has
become a significant risk in the areas of
watermelon cultivation. The pathogen
causing BFB can be introduced into a field
by infected seeds, infected transplants,
volunteer watermelon, mechanical means,
or natural spread from alternate hosts.
All of Johnny’s watermelon seed lots have
tested negative for BFB by minimum 10,000
seed grow out. NOTE: A disease-free test
result does not guarantee a seed lot to be
disease-free, only that in the sample tested,
the pathogen tested for was not found.

Wildflower mixes can be planted in late spring, early summer,
or fall, or after the last frost. Fall seeding can be very
successful, especially on dry soils. Seeds planted in the fall
are dormant seedlings, and will not germinate until the next
spring. See our Wildflower Mixes Growing Instructions

As crops remove nutrients from
the soil, cover crops help put
them back through nutrient
recycling, nitrogen fixation,
and weed control. On Johnny’s
Research Farm we use classic
cover crop rotations to break
disease cycles, add organic
matter, and scavenge nutrients
that help subsequent crops
thrive. Cover crops also prevent
erosion and the loss of our
irreplaceable top soil. Legumes
harvest nitrogen from the air
and bring it into the root zone.
Green manures smother weeds,
add organic matter, and help
eliminate soil compaction. Grains
feed us, our neighbors, and our
livestock. At Johnny’s we strive
to offer a wide selection of farm
seed for all your needs.

TRADITIONAL BROADFORKS: ABM HARDPAN BROADFORKS: AB

Deeply aerate while preserving soil structure
and minimizing weed seed surfacing. These
deep-tillage tools, designed long ago in Europe
and redeveloped by Eliot Coleman, are a favorite
among Johnny’s customers. The design makes
tilling your vegetable and flower gardens seem
almost effortless because you are using your body
weight to insert and maneuver the tool instead of your
back and arms. Three sizes to match your strength and
comfort level with 101/2” long curved tines spaced every
4”. The 48” oiled ashwood handles allow you to cover
a lot of ground quickly. These smartly-designed,
high-quality tools will be a pleasure to work with for
years to come. Made in Maine.

little harder to drive in than our standard round-
tine broadforks, but with tines that are nearly
impossible to bend when used correctly. Includes
the same strong 48” oiled ashwood handles as
our other broadforks. Made in Maine.

Tilther
9286 TILTHER: ABM
Prepare perfect seedbeds. This is a lightweight tiller
designed to create perfect tilth within the top 2” of your
bed by mixing in compost and fertilizer while chopping
up the roots of the previous crop. It was conceptual-
ized by Eliot Coleman and is used extensively on his
farm. After one quick pass, the bed is ready for the next
planting. 15” wide. Powered by your rechargeable drill.
1/2” chuck size required; 18V or better recommended.

Johnny's 30” Seedbed Roller
7219 JOHNNY'S 30" SEEDBED ROLLER: AB
Prepare a smooth, firm seedbed for direct seeding. The perfect comple-
ment to precision seeders and mechanical harvesters. Heavy-duty lobster trap
wire covers three independent cylindrical rollers that provide a slip differential
to prevent plowing the soil when turning at the end of the row. 1” wire mesh
is spaced close enough to break up smaller clumps but wide enough to resist
getting clogged. The rollers can also be used post-seeding to press seed firmly
into contact with the soil for improved germination rates; the wire mesh
creates a pattern of uniformly spaced mini-furrows that help retain essential
moisture and resist erosion. May be pulled or pushed. Handle is adjustable
laterally to allow operation in-row or from either side. A metal rack on top can
accept additional weight if needed. Made in Maine.

SNAP-IN DIBBLES: AB
NEW Easily attach to the Seedbed Roller to make perfectly spaced
holes for transplanting. Available in three sizes and easily interchangeable,
allowing many combinations of plant spacings. The seedbed roller’s 1” mesh
and 36” circumference make dibble arrangement simple and intuitive. No
special tools required; just squeeze, and they snap right in, securely gripping
the coated trap wire mesh from both inside and out. Change-out for new
setups is fast and easy. They work as well through plastic mulch as they do in
open soil (sometimes better due to moisture level). Depending on soil condi-
tions, additional weight may be necessary
for full dibble penetration; in that case, the
roller is easier pulled than pushed. Made
from galvanized plate steel for corrosion

Great soil grows great plants with increased vigor and pest tolerance, not to mention
maximized yields. In general, the broadest amount of nutrients is most available for plant
use at pH 6.5—a perfect soil-pH target for the vegetable garden. There are, of course,
exceptions to this rule, both inside and outside the vegetable garden.
For example, blueberries and evergreens use a copious
amount of iron, primarily available at more acidic pH
values (generally 5.5 and below).

 WATERING SUPPLIES
Watering and Irrigation Supplies
Drip Irrigation

Eliminates overhead spray thereby reducing evaporation,

conserving water, and discouraging the spread of disease.
Orifices, spaced every 12”, emit 0.15 gal./hr. After 4-6 hours, a
continuous band of wet soil develops down the row, uniformly
penetrating the root zone. Each system includes all the basic
parts needed for varying plot sizes and is expandable with
modular accessories to meet your specific needs.

Also protects against sun damage and

set, a non-toxic white film may be present
