Plant List

 PlantNumberPlants per Square FootNotes
Broccoli
 Packman Hybrid
21The easiest broccoli to grow. Produces uniform, solid heads with tight beads and superb flavor. Excellent side shoot development after the main head is cut for extended harvests. Easy-to-grow. Freezes well. RH Shumways 01430 - Packman Hybrid Broccoli 100 seeds 1 - $2.75
Cabbage (Summer)
 Earliana
11Why wait? Its takes less time for these to mature than any other cabbages. Cuts your growing time in half compared to full season varieties. Both of these are open pollinated, so do not mature uniformly at the same time. That's good, since most people can't use so many heads of cabbage all at once. One packet each Earliana and Red Express. RH ShumwaysCollection 01597 - Early Cabbage Collection (1 Ea Of 2) Collection $2.95 ea
Carrot
 Little Finger
1616A gourmet treat when cooked and served whole. Excellent for canning and pickling whole. Tiny 3 to 5 inch roots withstand close planting and produce abundant crops. Golden orange color. Tender and sweet. Outstanding when creamed. 65 days. RH Shunways 01645 - Little Finger Baby Carrot Packet $1.75 ea
Lettuce (Crisphead)
 Buttercrunch
84 Also known as Butter King. The largest and most heat-resistant of all Butterhead types. All-America Winner. An improved Bibb type, with the same fine flavor as Bibb, but larger and more heat tolerant. The heads are heavy and compact with leaves that are thick, juicy and crisp. Very slow to bolt. True gourmet quality. 02515 - Buttercrunch Lettuce RH Shumway $1.75
Lettuce (Leaf)
 Black Seeded Simpson
189Four varieties over 50-years-old, each a different type, for continuous lettuce all season long. Includes Black-Seeded Simpson (Loosehead), Iceberg (Crisphead), Paris White (Romaine or Cos) and Buttercrunch (Butterhead). RH Shumways 02559 - Old-Time Heritage Lettuce Mix packet $1.75 ea
Onion
 Candy Hybrid
99It's truly revolutionary! Forget everything you ever knew about onions. Unlike its short day and long day cousins. Candy onion will grow almost anywhere in the U.S. Produces perfect, mild onions with sweet flavor. They can get as big as softballs, with attractive yellow skins and savory white flesh. This is a new type of onion, and is the most widely adapted variety we know. Keeps well and matures in just 85 days. RH Shumways 02722 - Candy Hybrid Onion Packet 1 - $2.45
Parsley
 Dark Green Italian
44Flat and deeply cut leaves on stocky stems. The aromatic flavor makes this the easiest, best parsley for drying. Leaves are glossy and dark green. Flavor is more distinctive than curled types. Great for cooking and garnish. Good sub for folks who find cilantro a tad too strong. RH Shumways 02815 - Dark Green Italian Parsley Packet $1.75 ea
Peas
 Maestro
168One of our earliest varieties and our most disease-resistant. Very prolific. High yields of large, sweet peas. Pods are about 4 inches long with 8 to 10 dark green, large, sweet peas. Yields are helped by a high number of pods. Plants grow 27 inches tall. Resistant to Mosaic Virus, Bean Virus, Powdery Mildew and Common Wilt. RH Shumways 02930 - Maestro Pea packet 1 - $1.75
Radish
 Champion
1616America's most popular. Grows as big as a silver dollar without any pithiness. Withstands early planting and thrives in cool weather. Round, with slender taproot and bright scarlet skin. Crisp, white flesh. Holds quality well. RH Shumways 03310 - Champion Radish packet $1.75 ea
Scallions
 Evergreen Bunching
1616Ideal variety for early green onions. Sow in spring for summer use or sow in fall for overwintering. Produces long, slender, white stalks in clusters used for green bunching onions or scallions. Does not form bulbs. Hardy, so it will winter over. RH Shumways 02738 - Evergreen Bunching Scallions packet $1.85 ea
Spinach
 Tyee Hybrid
99Replaces Melody Hybrid. An improved type with the earliest maturity and best disease resistance we offer. High tolerance to Downy Mildew. A semi- savoy type that grows fast and is slow to bolt. Very flavorful. RH Shumways 03465 - Tyee Hybrid Spinach Packet $1.95 ea
Tomato (Small)
 Mountain Magic Hybrid
11(VFF) Heirloom qualities meet modern day disease resistance in a super-sweet, Campari-type tomato! Heavy producer of round, to deep round, 2 oz. fruits that are uniformly red inside and out with a long shelf life. Tolerant to early blight and highly resistant to late blight - both huge threats to tomatoes. In flavor taste tests, Mountain Magic held it's own against heirloom varieties. Indeterminate. RH Shumways 00495 - Mountain Magic Hybrid Tomato packet 1 - $2.95
