10 "GARDENER'S FAVORITES" SEEDS COMBINATION PACK:

1. Rutgers Tomato (100+)

Rutgers Tomato used to be the most popular tomato variety in the world! It was a staple ingredient in Campbell's soups and Hunt's and Heinz' ketchup for its superior flavor. Also known as the "Jersey Tomato" or the "Rutgers Select," Rutgers was developed in Rutgers University and was popular around the nation until an era of mechanized farming preferred breeding tomatoes with high durability over flavor. Rutgers Tomato produces a high-acid, high-sugar, intensely-flavored, deeply red colored, thin-skinned fruit weighting 8-12 ounces and excels in roasting, pureeing, slicing, or canning.

2. Top Crop Green Bean (30+)

Top Crop green bean is an AAS Award-winning variety of green bean developed to be disease-resistant, particularly to bean mosaic virus. This low-maintenance variety easily grows a heavily concentrated set of 6-7 inch long, stringless, round beans.


3. Bloomsdale Spinach (200+)

4. Green Arrow Shelling Pea (30+)

Green Arrow Pea is a shelling pea variety, which means its pods should be allowed to grow to maturity before being harvested, then the shells should be removed and only the peas inside eaten. At their biggest, these pods grow to about 5 inches (13 cm.) in length, with 10 to 11 peas inside.

5. Scarlet Nantes Carrot (500+)

The Nantes carrot was developed in the 1850's, named after the largest city in Brittany, France. It was described as having a near perfect cylindrical root with smooth skin and entirely edible near-red flesh, both sweet and mild in flavor. The Scarlet Nantes is an even sweeter, crispier variety of the Nantes carrot. Scarlet Nantes carrot is delicious roasted or glazed, pureed for soups and desserts, or shredded for salads and slaws. A rich source of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin A, potassium, and antioxidants.
