W
hat keeps me motivated and passionate about the line of work I have chosen?
Thirty five years is a long time to retain the interest needed for a fresh start each new season.
Three factors have kept me looking forward...
1. The never ending miracle of a small seed germinating, producing a small radicle and one or two cotyledons to
become a substantial plant—and these plants feed us all. Being involved in this process is humbling.
2. The evolution that has occurred since the early days of our company has been exhilarating. The global gene
pool has allowed for enormous advances helping to feed an ever growing number of humans by increasing
yields, quality, flavor, and harnessing and controlling diseases. All this in a matter of a few years. It takes a
dedicated staff to keep up with these advances and I have been fortunate to have ever inquisitive, good, solid
people to get the job done. I could not do without them.
3. For the first three years of Osborne’s business we operated out of a small shop on Little Mountain Road in
Mount Vernon. This shop was up a long and steep driveway that quickly became hazardous to drive on when
the weather turned cold. It would be covered with either snow or ice (or both) and delivery trucks refused to
come up. One winter day, looking out our “office” window, I noticed an older gentleman very slowly making
his way up, heading to our shop. I went out to greet him and thought he surely was lost. No, he came to pick
up his seed and his car wouldn’t make it up the hill. I told him we could have tried to deliver and he said,
no, the leek seed needed to be planted in the greenhouse NOW. The gentleman’s name was Ralph DeVries, a
retired dairy farmer who had taken up growing leek as a hobby. Neither snow nor ice could keep him from
doing what had to be done. We are dealing with the finest people, dedicated, stubborn, hardworking...the salt
of the earth. The hobby leek farmer passed the growing operation on to his son, Ray, who is one of the best
farmers I know. This is my third reason for being grateful, keeping going,
and keeping the faith: dealing with the greatest, top-of -the-line people
in the world—FARMERS!

ARTICHOKE, ASPARAGUS
ARTICHOKE
ISR F1 Organic
During our trials, we discovered ISR to be more round and more compact than
Tavor. ISR produces highly uniform globes on a vigorous, nearly spineless bush.
OPERA F1
A 4' tall plant with an abundance of purple chokes. In our trials, chokes were ready
for harvest early and continued to produce for several weeks. A great first-year
producer; cold hardy.
TAVOR IMPERIAL STAR (OP) Organic
This Imperial Star type is a terrific variety for the Pacific Northwest and will overwinter in temperate regions. The plant is a hardy bush that produces many firm,
meaty globes. Tavor produces 8–10 chokes per plant. Another excellent artichoke
to get the season started early.
Artichokes at Osborne
GREEN GLOBE (OP)
Standard variety with medium green, globe shaped fruit. Petals may have a slight
purple tinge. Cook and dip in garlic butter for a delicious snack.

JERSEY SUPREME F1
Rust
An all-male hybrid that is 7–10 days earlier than Jersey Knight. Well-adapted to
temperate climates with very high yield potential and good rust resistance. Spears
have slightly more purpling than Jersey Knight.
JERSEY KNIGHT F1
F, Rust
One of the most widely adapted “Jersey” all-male hybrids. Out performs open
pollinated varieties in trials and tolerates heavy soils.
Asparagus
RAVEL F1
Ravel is an all-male hybrid with early maturity and unusually high yield. In
Eastern Washington trials, the spear count far outweighed that of the standard
varieties. Ravel produces straight, smooth and strong spears that resist breaking. It
produced bountiful crops in Western Washington with a long harvest period. We
have seen increased yields each year from first production in 2012.

Pole
A, BCMV, V1
We added this European type pole bean because of its fantastic flavor. The pods
are large, light green, round, and stringless. The beans are tender and smooth. Fast
maturing: if you plant them at the same time as Blue Lake Pole you will get a nice
crop a week or more earlier. Cobra is good for tunnel and outdoor cultivation; it is
vigorous but not too vegetative, allowing for good air flow.
VELOUR 60 days
5"

PSP, BCMV
This purple French filet has the most intense, dark color we’ve seen. Thin, refined,
extremely straight beans are easy to see in an open, sparse, yet sturdy plant. This bean
has great crunch and holds very well on the plant, for a bountiful, prolonged harvest.
POSEIDON 62 days

FAVA VROMA 70 days
8+"
Bush
A super-early Fava with an incredibly concentrated, heavy set! You will get about two
big harvests which will get you to the market early. Follow up with later maturing
varieties. Each big pod contains about 4–6, 1" tasty beans. Sturdy upright plants
are 3' tall and healthy. Pods are borne in the mid to lower part of the plant. In our
trials we noted a distinct lack of aphids on the Vroma compared to other varieties.
MATILDA 70 days

BCMV
Finally, a classy climber with round-podded, stringless beans! Dark green and glossy,
the beans are 6"–8" long with consistent 4–5 sieve size. Crunchy, juicy, with sweet
flavor. Great yield, easy to pick. If you are a pole bean grower, Matilda is a must try.
TEGGIA 70–75 days
6"
Bush Horticulture
BCMV
Teggia is a dual-purpose bean. It has green and red mottled pods at snap bean
maturity. You can also allow the pods to dry for tan beans, attractively speckled
with burgundy at shell maturity. Dried beans are similar in appearance and taste
to pintos with a rich flavor when cooked.

CALYPSO 80–90 days
4"–5"
Compact bush
Looking for an eye-catching dry bean? Calypso, also known as Yin Yang, has done
very well in our trials, exhibiting no diseases, and drying down in September from
a mid-May planting. Pods average six large oval shaped black and white beans,
growing on a 15" compact bush.
FAVA BROAD WINDSOR 85 days • Organic
7"–8"
Bush
Sturdy plants with broad leaves produce heavy yields of long, green pods. You can plant
the hardy Windsor in the early spring or fall. Bush measures to be about 4½" tall.
TIGER’S EYE 85 days
5"
Bush
This early dry bean originated from Latin America and caught our eye with its
beautiful glowing colors and swooping patterns. Slightly flattened oval shape, deep
orange with burgundy swirls, on a 24"–36" bush. It dried down in our trials before
Cannellini. Great for chili or refried beans, with creamy texture and very tender
skin when cooked.
Bean, Fava Vroma

SILVER CLOUD 95 days • Organic
5"–6"
Upright Bush
BCMV, CTV
A large-seeded, white Cannellini bean with a beautiful sheen that has a longer date
to maturity and still works in western WA. We think that this larger bean can fill
some of the high market demand for the white kidney class. It has a higher yield
by count and weight than European cannellini. Meaty, large beans are excellent
for fresh shelling or dried. Resistant to lodging, and tolerant to bean rust. Bred by
Washington State University.

CASTLE DOME F1 74 days
Early maturing broccoli that holds well in the field. The heads have a medium
dome with tight, refined beads. Castle Dome exhibited good cold vigor, and can
produce large, firm heads with a good quantity of weighty side shoots. In the Puget
Sound area, we recommend it for the early slot for harvesting from mid-July.
Broccoli, Durapak 16 F1
Broccoli, Izabal F1
GREEN MAGIC F1 80 days
This mid-early maturity variety produces a solid, high dome with tight,
medium beads. Offers a good crown cut. Green Magic is very uniform, holds in wet
conditions, does well for summer to fall harvest, and holds well post-harvest.
IZABAL F1 80 days
An extremely uniform variety with heads held high on the plant. We were
impressed with the tight, dense heads, durable beads and smooth medium-tall
dome. Everything about this broccoli was uniform: color, shape, size and maturity.
Great for one to two harvest passes. Thick, smooth, and clean stems give these
crowns good weight and make harvest fast and easy.
DURAPAK 16 F1 85–90 days
In several years of trialing we found Durapack 16 to be a very uniform broccoli
with nice, small beaded, smooth-domed, firm heads. Clean tall stems hold heads
up high for easy harvest. Great for both crown cut and bunching.
GYPSY F1 90 days
Well-suited for organic growers due to its strong root system, intermediate
resistance to DM, and good performance without added fertilization after
planting. Smooth-domed heads with medium-small beads are ideal for late
summer to fall harvest; very adaptable.
EMERALD JEWEL F1 100 days
This variety shows some intermediate resistance to clubroot! Emerald Jewel
has tight beads, a good dome and holds well in the heat. We recommend that you
plant at the beginning of June for a mid-September harvest. Emerald Jewel is slow
maturing, but definitely worth the wait with good size and weight potential.
GREEN GOLD F1 100 days
We love this variety for its adaptability to our Pacific Northwest growing
conditions. Crowns were consistently uniform, even during unseasonably warm
weather when many brassicas showed signs of stress. Smooth crowns with a
medium dome, tight beads and even blue-green color. Best for crown cuts and
recommended for summer harvest.

ability to tolerate rough field conditions and long-term storage. Plant a little later
due to its speed and harvest in mid-fall for storage till the spring.

OVERWINTERING CAULIFLOWER
Overwintering cauliflower typically can be harvested from late January to mid-May
in the Pacific Northwest. Large framed plants yield heavy, beautiful heads at a time
when other storage crops are starting to wane. It is very weather sensitive, and we’ve
seen results differ every year. Recommended seeding is from June to late July for
transplant July to August, depending on your conditions and desired harvest window.
MUMBLES F1
The best field holding variety in our trials, which is an important trait for the May
slot when the weather is quickly changing and can cause quick bolting. The plants
are tall with lots of upright, protective leaves. The inner wrap keeps the head free
from sun exposure, even when fully mature. The heads are large, very uniform,
and hold well. A medium high, smooth dome on a dense head, along with very
little segmenting, and no ricing, resulting in a nice quality head.
Cauliflower, Bishop F1
ALDERNEY F1
Maturing about 1 week after Mumbles, we suggest you plant both for a longer
harvest window. Medium sized heads are held high off the ground on tall, upright
plants that didn’t sprawl. Nice tight wrap over a very tall dome on a dense head.
The quality is excellent with a smooth dome, attractive curds and no segmenting.

This multi-purpose crop is good for soil retention, creating biomass, weed
suppression, as well as a grain crop for animal or human consumption. Very
similar to cereal rye, it has lower straw strength and more frost kill, which may
work well if rye gets too woody or vigorous. Needs slightly higher temps to
germinate than rye, possibility of more volunteering post harvest, and more
susceptible to lodging and flood damage.

PRELUDIO F1 75 days • Organic
Preludio is a huge improvement in hybrid fennel. In summer field trials,
Preludio produced large, fat bulbs two weeks before Orion and Finale, and was
considerably slower to bolt. Very white bulbs due to higher tolerance to tip burn
and strong vigor impressed us. Preludio has sturdy leaf stalks and shorter, healthy
foliage for easier access. The thick white sheaths on the bulb had a milder, sweeter
flavor than the competition, even in the middle of the summer.
TAURO F1 75 days
Early maturing fennel can be planted from April to June for July to September
harvest. Tauro has first quality, big husky white bulbs with good weight and that great
FINALE (OP) 80 days • Organic
Good bolt tolerance allows you to plant Finale throughout the season. Dark green
foliage grows upright and stays healthy for a long time, and contrasts nicely with the
white bulbs. In our trials, an early May seeding produced medium bulbs in July, and
later plantings made large heavy bulbs in late summer. Stood up well to fall weather.
subtle anise flavor that has made fennel popular outside of Italy. Good bolt tolerance.
NEW! IDILLIO F1 Late • Organic
Heavy, uniform bulbs similar to Preludio, with the added benefit of improved
cold tolerance. Extend your fennel harvest by direct seeding Idillio with your last
planting of Preludio, or transplanting mid-July in the Pacific Northwest. For even
later harvest, plant in a high tunnel. Idillio is stunning with bright white sheaths
forming a rounded teardrop and feathery green foliage. Crunchy and sweet with
mild anise flavor.

ONE-CUT
See page 46 for Lettuce (Pelleted) Pricing.
35–45 days cut leaf, 50 days mini full heads
You can use one-cut lettuces in two different ways:
1. Mini full heads: Cut low so that the leaves stay attached to the core, market as a
mini head, individually or in a mixed case. Customers and chefs will appreciate
the easy processing with low waste and high quality. Plant heads 6"–8" in row.
2. Loose leaves: Cut a few inches above the ground in field—either by hand, or
mechanically—to create an improved baby leaf lettuce product. Vary height
of cut to desired leaf size; great texture and durability will give you excellent
volume and bag filling. Improved shelf life due to the fact that they are mature
leaves and they have small cut surfaces, which also addresses health and safety
concerns. Plant multiple varieties in one bed for a diversified salad mix. We
suggest a high density planting of 3" in row for high yields.

LETTUCE
SALAD MIXES
All ingredients are mosaic tested.
GOURMET SALAD MIX Organic
Our mix contains different varieties of butterhead, green and red leaf, romaine,
and other unique lettuce types. The wide range of colors and textures combine
to form an outstanding product for the restaurant trade and specialty markets.
The organic and conventional versions will vary slightly due to seed availability.
Please note: Red varieties mature slower than their green counterparts;
second cuts may have a different mix as slower varieties grow quickly after
initial cut.
MILD & WILD BRASSICA MIX
A wide diversity of shapes and colors, with nothing too spicy. Quick growing—
a good mix for the spring, though the milder flavors hold through the summer as
well. A great combination of lacy, frilly leaves and juicy, crunchy texture.
The winner in our winter trials; hardy and brightly colored.
Lettuce, Gourmet Salad Mix
Lettuce, Rouge Remix Lettuce Mix
Lettuce, Super Frilly Lettuce Mix
Lettuce, Auburn MT
Lettuce, Bixby MT
Lettuce, Blade MT
ROUGE REMIX LETTUCE MIX
This mix glows! An exciting eye-catching mix of all the different red colors and
shapes, with just enough bi-color leaves with tints of green to set it off. Beautiful as
is, or plant in the same bed as our Gourmet Salad Mix, and then harvest together
to push lettuce diversity and color to a new height.
SUPER FRILLY LETTUCE MIX
Acting on the principle that dry lettuce will have a longer shelf life, we have
combined varieties with stiff frilly structure and good crunch. Water will run
more readily off these leaves post-harvest, and their lofty structure will fill a bag
faster. A bright color combination with a diversity of textures and flavors.
Developed with the growers’ needs in mind as well as customer satisfaction.

This slightly flattened red onion is a strong performer in the northwest with
vigorous growth in less than ideal conditions. From the same breeders as
Cabernet, it is slightly later to mature, but larger in size and performs better in
stressful conditions producing uniformly shaped and easy to cure onions. It is well
suited for production from transplant. Bulbs store well 4–6 months, with good
color contrast even after storage.

Westside! This is a versatile onion; plant for summer and harvest a flattened
bulb that looks like a Cipollini, or direct seed at the end of August for a spring
onion. Control your size by spacing your transplants in the spring: 2" for classic
stew-pot Cipollini, or 4" for medium flattened onions with more weight. When
planted for overwintering, the 2½" flattened globe has red skin with crisp white
flesh at harvest. This onion has a solid root system and was mature by mid-June;
it has the potential to be the first red onion of the season at the market!

the growing season, and can be harvested multiple times. *Treated seed only.
SINALOA F1 HH 75–80 days
Very dark green
4"–5"
Serrano
An early maturing, extra dark serrano with large size for quick harvest weight.
Very glossy cylindrical fruit with thick walls that pack some heat! Great postharvest holding ability, one of the longest hot peppers to stay firm and attractive
that we have seen. Plant was healthy and sturdy, producing concentrated sets, even
in Western Washington.
CAJUN BELLE F1 H 80 days
Red
3" x 1½"
Cajun
This mini bell will win you over with its adorable size and brilliant cherry
red color. She may be small and cute, but Cajun Belle is loaded with delicious
sweetness perfectly complemented by a spiciness that can really pack a punch.
Heavy yield and consistent ripening completes the package.

RADICCHIO
RADICCHIO
Days = from transplant to maturity
Shape
NETTUNO (OP) 55 days
Barrel
This sugar loaf radicchio was the earliest in our mid-summer Skagit Valley trial,
averaging 55 days from transplant. Consistent in shape, color and size, heads
are 15" tall and very dense. Medium dark green wrap gives way to a yellow and
white crisp heart. Wraps were clean and free of tip burn. This large sugar loaf has
reduced bitterness compared to most red radicchio varieties and makes a great
addition to salads but can easily shine on its own in any culinary preparation!
SIRIO (OP) 60–65 days
Round
Best for spring and early fall plantings, Sirio also performs well in the summer.
Small and round with a uniform maturity, we found this one to be the most similar
to Indigo. Color was a lighter red in the spring, but darkened during the summer,
and was a beautiful contrast with the white ribs and veining. Average weight: 10 oz.
Radicchio, Nettuno (OP)
Radicchio, Baldo (OP)
TVG1 (OP) 75 days
Radicchio TVG1 is our beautiful main season Treviso type. Beautiful and
dense in our spring, summer, and early fall trials. Has clean white ribs, a deep
red color, and held longer in the spring than Fiero against bolting. These heads
will look great at your market stand or in your CSA box with color contrast and
excellent weight.
T&T 4050 (OP) 90 days
Round
An excellent performer for fall and early winter production with uniform large
dense heads. Protective outer leaves improve quality, and a touch of green in the
white veining is very festive. Holds well in cold storage. Average weight: 14 oz.
BALDO (OP) 115 days
Treviso
This variety is for the fall slot. Baldo produces large dense heads and has good
tolerance to the cold. Brilliant red and white Treviso type. Excellent for cold storage.

ROOTSTOCK, CUCURBIT GRAFTING
FLEXIFORT ROOTSTOCK Organic
Fusarium wilt 1, 2
This interspecific rootstock is a Cucurbita maxima X Cucurbita moschata and
is recommended for grafting with cucumbers, melon, and watermelon crops.
Grafting with Flexifort can provide increased vigor and help plants better cope
with environmental stress, including drought, heat, cold, and salinity. Flexifort is
resistant to fusarium races 1 and 2. It is recommended that you sow the rootstock
2–6 days before the chosen scion.
ROOTSTOCK, TOMATO GRAFTING
ESTAMINO F1 Organic
Cf (A–E), T0 MV, TSWV, VFFN
Do you need more production out of your greenhouse or hoophouse? Do you have
disease issues in your soil? Estamino has a positive generative (fruit production)
effect, which is one reason to graft your tomato plants with it. Gain a more balanced
plant that will give you a larger yield of quality fruit for a longer harvest period.
Works great for the Pacific Northwest, where we tend to have too much vegetative
growth and lower fruit yields. Another reason to graft with Estamino is its disease
package! High resistance to tomato mosaic virus, leaf mold 1–5, verticillium wilt
(Verticillium albo-atrum, Verticillium dahlia), fusarium wilt, fusarium crown, and
root rot. Intermediate resistance to root knot (Meliodogyne arenaria, Meloidogyne
incognita, Meloidogyne javanica) and tomato spotted wilt virus.

addition to open field production, due to the way the flowers stay open for long
periods of time. Slightly shorter, darker fruit than Noche. CMV and PM resistant.
DARIO F1 55 days • Organic
Cylindrical

SWISS CHARD
SWISS CHARD
AURORA FORMULA MIX (OP) BL = 28 days; Bunch = 55 days
Aurora Formula is an Osborne exclusive! Mixed precisely to include a rainbow of
bright colors including shades of yellow, orange, pink, crimson, green, white and
chartreuse. The contrast between the deep green leaves and the colorful petioles is
beautiful! Great for salad mixes and bunching.
ORANGE FANTASIA (OP) BL = 30 days; Bunch = 55 days
A vividly colored chard with truly bright golden-orange stems and veins and
the deepest green, shiny leaves. This tasty gem holds its color well when cooked. A
most vibrant addition to baby leaf mixes.
Swiss Chard, Aurora Formula Mix (OP)
FLAMINGO (OP) BL = 30 days; Bunch = 55–60 days
A hot pink stem topped by a dark, glossy, smooth, green leaf. Extremely consistent
color and leaf top height makes this a very uniform chard.
INTENSE (OP) BL = 26 days; Bunch = 55–60 days
Excellent red chard for baby leaf production as well as bunching. Consistently
bright stems, smooth dark green savoyed leaves, and very uniform. Long petioles
for easy harvest. For bunching, Intense is similar to Rhubarb in leaf and
growth habit.
PEPPERMINT (OP) BL = 33 days; Bunch = 55–60 days
This unique chard has white stems with pink striping on back and hot pink
margins on front. Uniform leaves are nicely savoyed and dark green. Exciting
addition for bunched fresh market sales. Petioles are white only, when cut
as baby leaf.
Swiss Chard, Intense (OP)
SILVERADO (OP) BL = 33 days; Bunch = 55–60 days
Unique because of its extraordinary deep green savoyed leaves and bright white
petioles. The compact plant (14"–16") may be stripped for individual leaves or
harvested whole for easy handling. Silverado is very slow to bolt.
ELDORADO (OP) BL = 33 days; Bunch = 55–60 days
Golden chard with medium green leaves for baby leaf or bunching use; mature
plant height is 20"–24" with nice broad petioles. Eldorado was slow to bolt in
Osborne trials.

We brought this seed in for trial this year and
were impressed with the possibilities it presented.
Although it is a carrot, we started seed in the

to get going which makes me wish we had direct
seeded some for comparison. Succession plantings
are a possibility; however, the plant performed

HOW TO CONVERT SEED AMOUNTS
Using these simple formulas, easily convert seed amounts from lb (pounds) to Ms or from Ms to lb (pounds):
Where: M = 1000 Seeds • lb = Pounds • SC = Seed Count
M = (lb x SC ) ÷ 1000
EXAMPLE 1
You want to order 10 lb of Corn, Jubilee Supersweet.
But Osborne sells in Ms.
1. Look at the “Seed Count Chart” above. Supersweets have a seed count (SC) of
about 3,000 seeds/lb.
2. Put the numbers you know into the formula: M = (10 lb x 3,000 SC)÷1000
3. Multiply: 10 x 3,000 = 30,000
4. Then divide that number by 1000: M = (30,000) ÷ 1000; which means M = 30
5. Therefore you would order 30M of corn seed.
Follow our trials at VegTrials.blogspot.com
OR
lb = (M ÷ SC) x 1000
EXAMPLE 2
Osborne sells Spinach, Toucan in Ms.
How many pounds (lb) will you receive if you order 50M?
1. Look at the “Seed Count Chart” above. Spinach has a seed count (SC) of about
40,000 seeds/lb.
2. Put the numbers you know into the formula: lb = (50M ÷ 40,000 SC) x 1000
3. Divide: 50 ÷ 40,000 = 0.00125
4. Then multiply that number by 1000: lb = (0.00125) x 1000; which means lb = 1.25
5. Therefore you would receive 1.25 lb (pounds) of spinach seed.
