Dear Grower Friends,
Welcome to the 2018 Otis S. Twilley Seed Company catalog.
As we move into the new growing season, we continue to treasure your business.
We enjoy talking to you and learning from you. Farming and gardening are true
blessings that both feed us and beautify our surroundings.
This year, we have added over 50 new products from asparagus to zinnia. We hope
you find something perfect for your farms and gardens.
Look for Pumpkin Dark Knight, which remains dark blackish-green for weeks if grown under good
conditions, maturing to lovely orange speckles and finally pure orange. Tomato Midnight Snack,
Watermelon Gold in Gold, Radish Crayon Colors and Mustard Mizuna Miz America will add eyecatching
diversity to your market offers. We have also expanded our cut flower section to help
fulfill the increasing popularity of locally grown floral products.
From our family to yours, we sincerely appreciate your business. We pledge to do our utmost to
earn your continued support. The entire Twilley Seed staff wishes you a successful growing season.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
George B. Park, President George B. Park is a third generation seedsman and has spent his entire working life in the seed
industry. Twilley Seed Company is proud to operate as a trial site for All America Selections.

Regarding Descriptions
Growth characteristics such as days to maturity and fruit
size will vary from location to location and season to
season. The descriptions in this catalog only represent
an average for each seed variety.
Regarding Seed Treatment
Many crops can be affected by serious seed-and-soilborne
diseases. Most of our seed is available treated
with approved protectants to promote better seedling
growth -- especially under cool, wet conditions -- and
reduce the need for field application of pesticides.
These efforts are not a guarantee against seed-borne or
soil-borne pathogens, but do help protect against infection.
We offer high quality varieties with resistance to
diseases whenever they are available. Please look for
these characteristics as you plan your purchases.
Untreated Seed: We offer many varieties as untreated
seed, and have expanded our inventory to ensure more
availability to you this year -- look for highlighted catalog
numbers ending with U, for example: 1234U
On the Cover: Watermelon Gold in Gold
