A Note about Hybrids…
There is a lot of recent interest in old-fashioned
“heirloom” vegetable varieties. While these varieties may have their place in the garden, hybrid
varieties have advantages to the commercial
g rower over these older types: namely diseaseresistance, more plant vigor, and often better
yields. We suggest planting hybrid varieties,
especially any of the Summer Flavor® Brand or
Professional Seeds Series™ for best results.

important because marketability of the ear is affected. The sh2 types are isolated to prevent cross pollination with normal sugary sweet corn or field corn.
Isolate in one of three ways: by maturity (10 days to
two weeks), by distance (100-150 ft. upwind), or
use a barrier planting.

Explanation of Sweet Corn Types
Selecting Sweet Corn Varieties
Sweet Corn breeders have been working with many new genetic combinations aff e c ting the sugars in sweet corn varieties, which in turn affects classification of varieties.
So far, there has not been complete agreement about classifying various types.
Tw i l l e y ’s research department continually looks at diff e rent varieties and how they
perf o rm. The following information will help clarify types listed by Twilley, so you can
choose what’s best for your sweet corn production.
Homozygous Shrunken 2 Gene Type (sh2)
Full homozygous — 100% of kernels are super sweet, with 2 to 3 times the sugars
of normal sugary types at peak harvest. Kernels are characterized by high sugar content, low water-soluble polysaccharides, and crisp texture. Conversion of sugars to
s t a rch is much slower than for normal sugary types, allowing longer storage,
long-distance shipping. Isolation is re q u i red. The exclusive Summer Sweet® Brand Series is
the ultimate example of 100% super sweet genetics. The series includes a wide range
of yellow, white and bicolor varieties, all of the highest quality with excellent keeping
quality for shipping/fresh market more than 48 hours after picking.
Homozygous Sugary Enhancer Gene Type (se)
Full homozygous — 100% of the kernels are sugary enhanced. Each tasty kernel
has higher sugar content than normal sugary types but has comparable levels of
starch which contribute to its creamy texture and delicious “corn” flavor. The kernels also have a very tender pericarp. Best used within 48 hours
of picking. Isolation
is suggested but not required. The exclusive Summer Flavor® Brand Series is the
ultimate example of full homozygous se. The full range of yellow, white and bicolor
varieties provide the ultimate in gourmet flavor — creamy, tender and sweet. The
best for roadside and fresh market.
Heterozygous Shrunken 2 Gene Type
Some sweet corn varieties have some super sweet parentage, giving them approximately
25% of the kernels on each ear with the extra-high sugars of sh2. Best used immediately
after picking; conversion of sugar to starch is rapid. Isolation suggested but not required.
Heterozygous Sugary Enhancer Gene Type
Many so-called se types fall into this category, with approximately 25% of the kernels
on each ear being sugary enhanced. This gene provides about 15% higher sugars at
peak harvest over normal sugary types. Best used immediately after picking: conversion of sugar to starch is rapid. Isolation not required.
Normal Sugary Gene Type (su)
The standard sweet corn for many years. Sweet, creamy kernels with tender skin
best used immediately after picking; conversion of sugar to starch is rapid. Isolation
not required.
A NOTE ABOUT ISOLATION
The reason for isolating super sweet (s h2) types is the same as for isolating white from
yellow corn, but more important because marketability of the ear is affected. The sh2 types
are isolated to prevent cross pollination with normal sugary sweet corn or field corn. Isolate
in one of three ways: by maturity (10 days to two weeks), by distance (100-150 ft. upwind),
or use a barrier planting.

MONEY
MAKING
IDEAS.
Make the very most of your carefully grown
produce. Display vegetables on a bed of ice,
and keep cut herbs in water, for maximum
appearance, freshness and nutritive value.
Attractive pre-packs in clear plastic containers with snap lids can raise perceived value
while keeping freshness longer and preventing customers from picking over delicate
items. When marketing greens or peppers, be
s u re to offer three or four types together
since they are much more attractive to buyers. Cross-sell various salad items or baby
vegetables.
Twilley cooperates with
trial sites in many locations across the country.

TSWV Types
Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus continues to be a
persistent problem in southern states and
Hawaii. TSWV has grown into a threat that
wipes out entire tomato crops. Symptoms
are hard to detect before the fruit appears,
and by then it is too late to save the crop.
TSWV is almost impossible to contro l
because the spread by tiny thrips that feed
on infected plants carries the virus to
healthy plants. So, disease resistance is the
only method to control this problem.

resistance. Vigorous determinate plant with good
leaf canopy has yielded large to extra large fruit

Selecting Tomato Varieties
With so many tomato varieties available, it may
be difficult to choose which to grow for tomato
p roduction. Tw i l l e y ’s re s e a rch department continually looks at diff e rent varieties and how they perform. The following information will help you
select the best varieties for your production. We
especially suggest any of the tomatoes in the
Twilley “Professional Seeds Series™”.
Maturity
Consider the number of frost-free days in your
growing area. Early crops are usually in demand
for fresh market, but fruits may be small.
Determinate vs Indeterminate
Determinate plants grow shorter, with concentrated fruit set, and need no pruning or support.
Indeterminate plants can be grown on the ground,
but they usually yield larger, more perfect fruit
over a longer period if supported and pruned.
Fruit Type and Use
Large-fruited types include globe and oblate
shapes. There are also plum/paste and cherry
types listed.
Jointless vs Jointed
Jointless fruits, when picked, are missing the stem
(pedicel) where they were attached to the plant.
This means fruit will show less damage in shipping.
Jointed fruits have an enhanced appearance in
fresh market settings because stem remains
attached.
Disease Tolerance
Recently introduced varieties have better tolerance to disease, particularly to Fusarium and
Verticillium wilts, which are present in many soils.
There are other tolerances genetically built in; see
descriptions and disease tolerance codes.
Shipping/Fresh Market
Descriptions list suggested best uses for each
variety. Shipping types are indicated.
Adaptability
Many varieties perform well in certain regions; we
include this information when possible.

Sometimes incorrectly referred to as “seedless”, triploids are sterile hybrids which,
because of their genetic makeup, characteristically produce fruit with few or no tru e
seeds. Sometimes cultural practices or
weather conditions may result in fruit with
some vestigial seeds or empty white seed
coats. Because of this, triploid hybrid watermelons are not guaranteed to produce seedless fru i t .
A special note to growers of triploid hybrid
watermelons: Please follow careful practices
to grow triploid hybrid watermelons successfully. We supply detailed gro w i n g
instructions with your seed. For best
results, we suggest starting seed in the
greenhouse in peat pellets (on page 84) 3
weeks before outdoor planting time.
Because of their genetic makeup, triploid
hybrid watermelons must be planted with a
diploid (regular hybrid or open-pollinated) variety as a pollenizer in order to assure fruit set.

TRIPLOID HYBRID WATERMELONS
A. NOTICE: Hybrid triploid watermelons are sterile, or true, hybrids which characteristically produce fruits with few or no true
seeds. Because the absence, or relative absence, of “hard” or true seeds in the fruit of the melon is its chief distinguishing characteristic, the hybrid triploid watermelon is often referred to as a “seedless” watermelon. Despite the popular perception, hybrid triploid watermelons are not true “seedless” watermelons. The first melons to ripen in a field of hybrid
triploid watermelons often contain small, vestigial seeds. In addition, certain genetic, cultural and climatic factors are
known to cause the formation of empty seed coats, small, white, immature seeds and/or hard seeds in the flesh of the
melons. Due to the wide variety of possible causes of hard seed or ovule formation, HYBRID TRIPLOID WATERMELONS
ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO PRODUCE SEEDLESS FRUIT.
Hybrid triploid watermelon production requires a high level of grower sophistication. Hybrid triploid watermelons require
a pollen source and bees to serve as pollen vectors. Hybrid triploids also require special care for satisfactory germination.
Growers are encouraged to contact University extension personnel for government publications and information concerning recommended cultural practices. Otis S. Twilley Seed Co., Inc. can also supply certain of this information on request.
Growers are encouraged to develop expertise in growing hybrid triploid watermelons prior to instituting large-scale commercial production.

IMPORTANT NOTICE, WAIVER
CONCERNING ALL WATERMELON SEED
PURCHASED FROM OTIS S. TWILLEY, INC.
(GROWERS, BROKERS, PACKERS/SHIPPERS)
We want to advise you that the bacterial fruit blotch disease
of watermelons has again appeared in watermelon fields in
many watermelon producing areas. This disease has been
periodically reported since its initial detection in 1989.
Losses from this bacterial disease have ranged from minor
to as high as 100% of the marketable fruits.
The causal agent of the fruit blotch disease appears to be
closely related to Acidovorax avenae subsp. citrulli (synonym: Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes subsp. citrulli).
The pathogen could be seed-borne from the original seed
lot, or result from other host infection. The disease has
attacked many varieties of watermelon from different seed
producers.
Watermelon Summer Flavor® Brand Variety #800 Hybrid
Although new testing procedures are currently under development, it is impossible to conduct any test procedures that
will give 100% reliable results with regard to the identification of any seed-borne watermelon fruit blotch infections.
Work is being done by public and private researchers, seed
companies and growers, to determine improved identification and control measures and to develop statistically reliable testing procedures.
Work is also being done to determine if different varieties of watermelon, both diploid and triploid, have any
level of resistance or tolerance to this disease. No varieties to date have been identified as having any significant level of resistance.

The symptoms on young seedlings appear as dark watersoaked lesions on the lower surfaces of the cotyledons or the
true leaves. These initial water-soaked lesions later turn
necrotic and may also have chlorotic halos surrounding the
dead tissues. The lesions will also often appear on the
hypocotyls of young seedlings, resulting in the wilting and
death of these young plants. The most dramatic and
destructive phases of this disease are the fruit infections that
occur much later in the growing cycle. The lesions on the
top surface of the fruits appear as small, water-soaked
a reas, which under the right conditions of high temperature
and humidity, enlarge rapidly to cover most of the surface of
the fruits. Fruit decay often follows. This later condition of
the disease cycle could lead to significant economical losses to the gro w e r.
In cases where the pathogen is carried in the seed, the typical lesions described above will appear on the young
seedlings within 7 days after seedling emergence. If no
symptoms are observed on the young seedlings within
three (3) weeks after emergence, it is unlikely that the bacterium is carried on the seed and that any subsequent infection is most likely from other sources. It is imperative that
each grower inspect the young plants during this early
stage, in order to determine the presence or absence of
these symptoms and to mitigate any potential economical
losses.
CAUTION: Symptoms that appear on plants in the early
stages of growth, and especially those symptoms caused
by secondary infections, may not be evident on new foliar
parts as the plants develop. The pathogen, however, may
still be alive in infected tissues, and may infect the fruits if
favorable conditions of temperature and humidity prevail.
Do not retain any plants that show any symptoms at any
time.

Why Grow Hybrid Watermelons?
Hybrids offer you, the gro w e r, many
advantages over o.p. types: wellshaped, uniform fruits; crisp, fiberless flesh (a flavor plus); disease
tolerance which lets plants pro d u c e
m o re and longer. Many hybrid varieties are smaller-seeded and theref o re more economical. Growing
Watermelons for Shipping? Shipping
types do not necessarily have hard or
thick rinds — resilience is what
counts. Please check variety descriptions for the best shipping types.

IDEAS. . .
When Are Your Wa t e rmelons Ripe? Use the days to
maturity as a rough guide to ripeness; then
o b s e rve fruits daily. Check these indications: the
side of the melon which rests on the ground
(called the ground spot) turns from whitish to
cream color (on solid, dark-skinned fruits, spot
t u rns golden yellow); and tendril on the vine nearest the fruit begins to dry up. (Note — the classic
“thump” test is not a reliable indication of
ripeness.)
