I ca n’t think having such a good time reading through a cum catalog as I did while perusing the many pages ofJung Seeds & Plants . I ’d love to meet the writers who wrote the verbal description for the Super Freak Hybrid pumpkins and the Lunch Lady gourd .

Every Thomas Nelson Page is debase with witty narratives about the fellowship ’s seeds , works , bulb and supplies . It make sense that Jung Seeds & Plants has perfect its merchandising methods to a okay artistic production — the company initiate in 1907 .

Family owned and operated for over 100 long time , Jung Seeds & Plants explore far and wide for the varieties that gardeners like to grow . There are quite a little of old front-runner ( look for the “ Heritage ” symbol ) , but I appreciate the fact there are so many different sort of vegetable and herbs , include more than 250 new products for this class alone .

Some gardeners will surely go for the novelty items like the decorative corn called Japanese Striped Maize . This beautiful plant has leaves striped in green , lily-white , yellowish and pink and the kernals are burgundy . Other gardener will care the sanitary novelty offerings like the Sochi Tea plant from Sochi , Russia , and the Goji Berry vining bush .

Why produce an average watermelon vine when you’re able to pick out a Golden Crown hybrid with a rind that turn people of colour when the melon vine is ready to pick ? How about a native American heirloom call the Vine Peach that tastes like a mango ?

Jung Seeds & Plants also has a prissy selection of strange pumpkins , like the bi - color Batwing mini pumpkins and One Too Many with its flecked veins of red that look like bloodshot eyes . If you ’d like to add more colour to your garden try the Pool Ball intercrossed premix of round zucchini , the Atomic Red carrots or some brilliant royal heads of Graffiti cauliflower .

But despite the strange varieties , cagey veggie names and funny description , this society is all commercial enterprise . Among the speciality varieties are traditional fruit , vegetables , herbs , flowers , vines , Tree , and shrubs . Carica papaya trees partake the catalog ’s page with strawberry mark , snort and gooseberries . There are also plenty of pepper , tons of tomatoes and ream of radish plant .

A in force selection of growing accessories , source starting supplies , fertilizer , and insect , gadfly , and disease ascendancy fills almost 10 Page . nurseryman can request a impress catalog or shop the online store .

I enjoyed understand through the entire catalog , but the weird - veg lover in me gravitate to the exposure of the Bohemian horseradish tip that grew into the pattern of a horse .
