The Importance of Soil
Soil gives us life; it is one of the fundamental building blocks of growing, and the basis of Agricul-
ture and Organic growing. As well as offering untreated seeds, part of our philosophy is caring for
the soil that gives us life. Part of our cultural mandate as a Christian company is that we are given
the earth to care for- not to treat it our own- but as a gift entrusted to us. As a former University
of Guelph student, I have always been intrigued by the complexity of the soil that we grow our food
in; how wonderfully it is created and how easy it is to misuse. If there is one course of study that I
could recommend to all growers and gardeners, it is The Fundamentals of Soil Science.
The effect of soil health on plant health was especially noticeable in a drought year like we just expe-
rienced. Areas with poor organic matter suffered when it was hot and dry, more so than areas with
good soil health. One of the challenges we have with organic matter is having a balance between
growing crops and rebuilding the soil. Part of our summer trials is looking at high soil-building green
manures. We comparison trialed over 20 types: some added nitrogen, some smothered weeds, while
others scavenged for nutrients. All of them improved soil tilth,
and increased organic matter and microbial activity. Check out
our website and Facebook pages for pictures of these trials. This Bill (William Jr) Dam evaluating Pea covercrop
year we have added more than a dozen new green manure crops,
all of which benefit the soil by planting before or after vegetable crops. We have researched a lot
during the course of these trials, so if you have questions or comments about growing green manures
and cover crops, please send us an email. If I dont have the answer, I will contact others to find it.
In this years catalogue you will find a new fresh look. We hope that it is easier to navigate, and for
those like myself, easier to read. Even though many people are using online media, our print cata-
logue is still relevant and important to many of our customers. At the same time we are improving
our online presence by adding social media elements for even more information and resources.

of our company. We look forward to serving

Quality Control
We are part of the Canadian Authorized Importer program , which uses ISO type stan-
dards. All of our seed lots have been tested by our suppliers for germination, weed
content, and varietal purity to Canadian standards before being shipped to us. But
thats not the end of our quality control: we grow out many of the lots in our green-
house and gardens to look at continuing germination rates, vigour, and purity. Any
lots of seed remaining in our climate controlled warehouse after our selling season are
tested again, using industry procedures. Basil (herb pot) evaluations in the greenhouse

Our Organic
Certification:
We are certified by CSI (Centre for Systems
Integration) for the NOP and Canadian Standards.
GMO Note:
It is our company policy to not sell Genetically
Modified Organisms. It is a highly regulated
industry and the products are not available to
home gardeners or small market farmers. If
your certification board needs assurances, a
letter is available.
Why Organic?
In the late 1960s, William Dam decided not to sell chemically treated seed due to a reaction he had to
the chemical treatments. This was a radical change, since most seed was covered with a thiram/captan
treatment. Fellow seedsmen viewed it as crazy, and initially it probably was! Over the years, we have
developed a loyal clientele of sustainable and organic gardeners. In the past five years we have been
increasingly able to provide organically grown seed of quality that matches our company philosophy.
We, at William Dam Seeds, believe in sustainable agriculture: improving the soil that gives us life. This
encompasses using plant varieties that decrease pesticide use, using organic based fertilizers that
balance soil life, and using products that have benefit to both the manufacturer and the user (fair trade).
It always has been our company motto to supply seeds of highest quality. This means that we look at
viability and purity of our seed, and also that the selection is one of the best available. We will only supply
seed that meets or exceeds Canada No 1 requirements. Our current challenges include getting enough
seed to sell and getting it of an acceptable quality. We know that using inferior seed and varieties can
not only put a farming operation into financial difficulty due to crop failures, but also can introduce and
promote new disease pressures into the soil. We are constantly trialing organic seed varieties; interested
people are welcome to visit our trials.
Safe Seed Pledge:
Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation
as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners
and consumers who want an alternative, we pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically
engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive
methods and between genera, families, or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic,
political, and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested
prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of
genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier
soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.

Our seed is not chemically treated. This has been confused with organic seed, which to our knowledge
it is not in all cases. For the past 60 years we have been purchasing our seed from the most reputable
sources available. These companies have growing fields (some of which use pesticides to maintain
crop purity) all over the globe and do research to maintain their high standards of quality and new
developments. These progressive seed companies maintain a large genetic stock of parent lines (many
are heirlooms) for breeding work. We have visited some of the world's foremost seed companies and
were impressed by the level of commitment to seed purity and research to bring the best varieties to
home gardeners. We are proud to be associated with our suppliers and are confident that the seed we
receive reflects their high standards and ours.
We promote sustainable agriculture: that is maintaining healthy soil with natural means so that we
don't deplete the soil that we rely on to grow our food. Healthy soil produces healthy plants that can
withstand disease and insects so that pesticides are not needed on a regular basis. Hybrids are also
beneficial to increasing disease and insect resistance, while providing the gardener with increased
yields, flavour, and nutrition.
GROWING GUARANTEE
Seeds are living things that are subject to growing methods and conditions for their performance,
therefore we cannot guarantee their results. If you have troubles germinating our seed within
the year printed on the package, please contact us so that we can help you with a solution. As
gardeners ourselves, the germination rate and purity of the seed are of utmost importance to
us. The germination rate and purity of our seed exceeds the requirements set forth in the Canada
Seed Act. It is our policy to notify you if a problem exists or develops with any particular lot of seed
The seed that we sell is meant to be grown in soil or professional media, using good farming practices.
We are not a source for seeds meant for human or animal consumption.
If you are not satisfied with any of the other goods that we sell, please contact us so that we can arrange
to exchange or refund it within the year of purchase.

Artichoke
The globe artichoke is a thistle-like veg-
etable plant native to the Mediterranean
region. Although the leaves and stems of
artichokes are palatable, it is the bud that
is valued.
CULTURE: Artichokes are cool season
plants. SOIL: Will grow in a variety of
soils but prefers deep, fertile, well-drained
soil. The plant is deep rooted and requires
adequate growing room. FERTILITY:
Enrich the soil with manure or compost
before planting. Sidedressing with a bal-
anced fertilizer at the time of bud set
will be beneficial. GERMINATION: Sow
indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost.
Germinates in 14-21 days at 21-27C.
Expect around 70% germination. Grow on
at 15-20C. TRANSPLANT: Allow plants
to have a cold treatment (8-10 days at
10C) before transplanting out to induce
earlier bud formation. SPACING: Space
seedlings 2-3 ft. apart in rows 3-4 ft.
apart. HARVEST: Should start to produce
buds in early September. Cut firm buds by
cutting stem 1-2 below bud. Removal of
old stems after harvest will promote more
stems. Store cut buds at 32F/2C with
high humidity.
Approx. 25 sds/gm. Normal germina-
tion for artichokes is 60-70%.
3 IMPERIAL STAR (TAVOR)F-1
Organic
Imperial Star is the most reliable annual
artichoke for northern climates. Producing
artichokes the first season from seeds is a
major advantage for people growing in colder
areas where artichokes will not normally survive
the winter. Plants grow to 1m/3ft under ideal
conditions, producing 5-7, 8-10cm/3-4 buds.

3 Imperial Star (Tavor) F-1 Organic
Asparagus
Asparagus is a long lived perennial prized
for its tender shoots. Originating in the
Mediterranean sea region, it was made
popular in American cuisine by immigrat-
ing Europeans.
SOIL: Prefers a sandy-loam well drained
soil. Clay soils with poor drainage should
be avoided or modified and drained.
FERTILITY: Slow release organic based
fertilizers are recommended. Side dress
established plants with a good balanced
fertilizer in the spring and again in the
summer. GERMINATION: Can be start-
ed indoors in large plugs 10-12 weeks
before last frost. Germinates in 10-21
days at 70F/21C. Can be sown outdoors
when soil is warm to touch. SPACING:
sow: 2cm/3/4 apart. Transplant 30-
45cm/12 16 apart in rows 1m/3ft apart.
HARVEST: Can begin harvesting 2 years
after seeding. Cut young shoots when they
appear in mid-spring until late spring.
Approx. 45 sds/gm.

Bush Beans
Haricots Nains - Buschbohnen - Cornetti Nani - Stamsperciebonen
Probably the most common vegetable in the garden. Beans are a tender, warm season plant.
When eaten fresh, canned, or frozen, beans are an excellent source of vitamins A & C and
dietary fibre.
CULTURE: Warm temperatures are necessary for beans to germinate and set flowers. Soil:
Beans prefer loam soil with moderate amounts of organic matter. FERTILITY: Do not fertil-
ize beans or add manure the year of sowing. Excessive fertilizing will make for large plants
with little pod set. GERMINATION: 7-10 days at 18-26C. Sow in warm, well-drained soil.
Sowing below recommended temperature will result in poor germination. Do not soak your
seeds before planting. SPACING: Sow seeds 2cm/3/4 deep 5-10cm/2-4 apart.
Tip: To prevent the spread of fungus, rusts, and virus, avoid cultivating or walking through
bean plants when plants are wet or in the early morning.

 Pole Beans
Haricot Grimpant - Stoksperciebonen
Pole beans differ from bush beans in that they can be grown in confined areas, in contain-
ers, and can be picked over a long period. However, they do require a longer growing season.
CULTURE: Sow outdoors in warm, moist soil when the temperature is above 20C. Cold
soil temperatures will decrease germination. Comes up in 5-10 days at 70F/21C. Sow 5 or
6 seeds around each pole or every 10cm/4 for nets. Seeding depth 2cm/1 deep. Seed can
be damaged by maggots in the soil.
Tip: To prevent disease and poor germination associated with sowing in cooler temperatures,
start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before last frost. Seed 3 beans in 3 peat pots. Plant entire peat

Broccoli
Chou Brocoli
Broccoli is considered the super vegetable. It is high in Vitamin A+C, a good source of B vita-
mins, phosphorus and potassium. Broccoli can be eaten raw with a dip, stir-fried, cooked or
frozen for later use.
CULTURE: Broccoli is easy to grow. For early crops, start indoors 4-6 weeks before planting
out. Transplant when soil is 50F/10C or higher. Cold weather will cause premature flow-
ers. For late crops, seed in June-July. SOIL: Broccoli will tolerate a broad range of soils, but
prefers sandy loam. PH 6.5-7 FERTILITY: Ensure adequate levels of nitrogen for proper bud
formation. Excessive fertilizing will cause hollow stems. Keep a regular watering schedule
so plants do not wilt in heat. Broccoli likes its leaves wet. GERMINATION: Sow in plugs at
70F/21C for 7 days, or outdoors in warm soil. SPACING: Transplant or thin seedlings out to
40-45cm/16-18. PESTS: See cabbage section.
Tip: Harvest just before the beads on the head break open into flower, hot temperatures will
accelerate this, so check often.

Cabbage
Choux- Weisskohl - Cavolo Cappuccio - Kool
Popular fall and winter vegetable native to the Mediterranian region, but is a staple
vegetable in most countries. Good source of Vitamin C, glutamine and amino acids
CULTURE: Sow early varieties in succession from early spring (indoors) to mid-sum-
mer for continual harvest of fresh cabbage. For fall produce sow outdoors in early sum-
mer. SOIL: Cabbage will tolerate a broad range of soil, but prefers sandy loam. PH 6.5-7.
FERTILITY: Ensure adequate levels of nitrogen. Keep a regular watering schedule so
plants do not wilt in heat. GERMINATION: Sow in plugs at 70F/21C for 7 days or
direct seed outdoors in warm soil. SPACING: Transplant or thin seedlings out to 30-45cm/
12-18 for small head varieties; 45-75cm/18-30 for large head varieties. PESTS: Flea
beetles attack young seedlings and strip the leaves - control with placing row cover or in-
sect netting over young plants. Cabbage worms attack as plants get older and invade
buds - control with BTK.

Cauliflower
Chou-Fleurs - Blumenkohle - Cavolfiore - Bloemkool
Cauliflower is a cool season vegetable, easiest to grow for harvest in the late summer or fall.
Its success often depends on a slow steady growth that is difficult to achieve in mid-summer.
Cauliflower does best in humus-rich, moist soil.
CULTURE: For early crops, start indoors 4-6 weeks before planting out. For fall crops, plant
in early to mid summer. Transplant when soil is 50F/10C (early May). SOIL: Cauliflower will
grow in many types of soil, as long as it is not depleted of organic matter. FERTILITY: Open-
pollinated varieties use twice as much nitrogen as hybrid varieties. Use moderate amounts
of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potash. GERMINATION: 7-10 days at 70F/21. Do not allow
seedlings to get old in packs as this causes them to button up. Only plant fresh stock. SPACING:
Space rows 32 to 36 wide; 45cm/18 between plants. PESTS: Same as broccoli & cabbage.
TIP: For blanched white heads, tie wrapper leaves together forming a dome as the head is
beginning to form. Pick when head has completely formed.
Pkt contains approx. O.P. 125-400 sds; Hybrid 30-75 sds; 200-300 sds/gm. A172 Veronica Hybrid

Carrots
Carotte - Mohren - Karotten - Wortelen
An indispensable vegetable in the garden. Carrots are easy to grow and provide vegetables
from late spring to early winter. Use raw, cooked or juiced. Carrots are an excellent source of
beta carotene and Vitamin A.
CULTURE: Can be sown from early spring to mid summer. Seed directly into deeply worked
soil for optimum root growth. SOIL: Deeply tilled fertile sandy loam with good organic mat-
ter content. PH 6-7 FERTILITY: Do not apply manure in the year of sowing, as it causes
carrots to become hairy. Carrots like moderate amounts of nitrogen and higher amounts of
phosphate. Keep even soil moisture for high grade carrots. We have found that carrots prefer
overhead watering, lightly misting their foliage, instead of drip irrigation. Adequate moisture
is essential for good root formation, texture, and flavour GERMINATION: 6-15 days at 60
F/16 C. Keep soil moist until growth is seen SPACING: Seed depth 1cm/ 1/4-1/2.Seed spac-
ing: 1cm/1/2. Thin out to 3-5cm/1 1/2-2 for proper root development. Closer spacing will
result in smaller, shorter carrots. PESTS: Carrot Rust Fly-control: plant carrots early to mid
summer to miss its cycle; Wireworm control: use a 3 year rotation and do not use soil that had
grass on it the year before; Carrot Caterpillar control: spray with Ambush or BTK. HARVEST:
Baby carrot types - harvest when carrot is about finger size 2cm/3/4 wide. Fresh eating types
-dig as mature. Storage types - Dig up carrots after the first hard frost before the ground
freezes. Place in a cool, dark location or a fridge to keep fresh until late winter. In areas where
snow fall is heavy, carrots can be covered with straw and dug up throughout the winter.
TIP: Cover with burlap or a wooden plank for 7 days after seeding to retain moisture and
improve germination.

Celery / Celeriac
Celery originated in European and Mediterranean marshes where it was first used as a fla-
vouring for foods. It is now a main salad crop grown world wide. Leaf types are widely used in
European and Asian cultures for flavouring in soups and salads.
CULTURE: Start indoors in March, 10-12 weeks before last frost. Transplant into large paks
to keep plants from becoming root bound. Do not set out or allow temperature to dip below
50F/10C as this will cause the plant to bolt. SOIL: Celery needs a loamy or mucky soil with
high amounts of organic matter. FERTILITY: Apply liberal amounts of nitrogen. Keep mois-
ture constant to reduce chances of bitterness. GERMINATION: 10-21 days at 85F daytime,
65F/18C at night. Cover seed lightly and keep moist until growth is seen. Alternating warm
days and cool nights will increase germination. SPACING: Plant in blocks 6-8 apart, 12
width. This will make watering easier. PESTS: Tarnished Plant Bug - stings celery and stunts
it. Control by covering plants with a row cover or insect netting.
TIP: Celery is a demanding plant. To keep it from going bitter, keep soil rich and moist.

Sweet Corn
Mais Sucre - Zucker - Suiker Mais
Sweet corn has become more popular over
the last 15 years due to improved varieties
that mature earlier and stay sweet longer.
Most varieties are hybrids because of the
intense breeding done on sweet corn.
CULTURE: Sow outdoors in late spring
when soil is warm, usually 2-4 weeks af-
ter field corn is planted. Cool weather and
excessive moisture will cause poor seed
emergence. SOIL: Corn can be grown in a
wide range of soil types. Opt. pH 6.0 to 6.8
FERTILITY: Corn thrives on liberal
amounts of Nitrogen. Apply part before
planting and again when corn is about
2ft high. For proper ear placement and
fill out, corn requires adequate moisture.
GERMINATION: 5-7 days at 70 F/21C. Cool
soil will decrease germination. SPACING:
Sow 6-10cm/2-4 (6-8 machine seeding)
apart and 1cm/1/2 deep in rows 75cm/30
apart. Thin out to 20cm/8. PESTS: Main
pests are ear worms & corn maggots.
Control earworms with BTK applied to
husks at time of pollination and 1 week
after. Corn maggots can be controlled by
seed treatment. Untreated sweet corn seed
is more susceptible to temperature change
and insect damage. In our area, rusts are the
main disease problem in late summer. Use
tolerant varieties if growing in late summer.
TIPS: For proper pollination plant the
same variety in blocks of 4 rows or more.
Pkt contains 35g (unless otherwise
indicated) and sows approx. 50ft; 125g

Extra early, heavily productive pickle. An
196 Jackpot Hybrid early-maturing parthenocarpic hybrid pickling
cucumber developed for northern climates
where temperatures are cool or pickles need to
be grown under cover. It is not dependent on
insect pollination. Mathilde produces 6-7 fruits
at each node. Spined fruits have an attractive
dark green colour, good consistency, and
no bitterness. Suitable for fresh market and
processing. Like Cool Breeze, it can be grown
in tunnels and under cover without needing to
allow bees to pollinate. Resistant to Cucumber
Mosaic Virus, Cladosporium, and Powdery
Mildew, tolerant to Downy Mildew 42 days
A214 CORENTINE F-1
Very early, improved European Gherkin.

skin gherkin that stays crisp long after picking.
192 Peaches & Cream Early Being parthenocarpic, it does not require
pollination and is suited to tunnel growing,
where conditions do not allow for mechanical
pollination. Strong plants with good vigour have
the ability to set fruit under cool conditions.

Cucumber
Concombre - Gurken - Cetrioli Komkommers
For many years Cucumbers have been a main item to many home gardens. The cucumber is na-
tive to India and western Asia where it has been cultivated for over 3000 years. In the early 9th
century it was introduced to Europe. Cucumbers are high in purified water, contains numerous
minerals particularly magnesium and phosphorus, and Vitamin A&C. Today, many types of
cucumbers are available each having its distinct growing form and ethnic use.
CULTURE: Cucumbers are warm season plants, temperatures under 55F/10C can severely af-
fect plants. Can be started indoors or outdoors. SOIL: Cucumbers prefer well drained, light
textured soils, but will grow on almost every type of soil. FERTILITY: Apply a slow release,
well rounded fertilizer before planting. Cucumbers require even moisture especially when
fruits are forming. GERMINATION: 5-7 days at least 70 F/21C. If soil is cool, cucumber
seeds will not germinate. SPACING: Sow seeds 3-6cm/1-2 apart and 1cm/ 1/2 deep in rows
4-6 feet apart. Thin out to 20cm/8 or plant 3-4 seeds in hills 24 apart. PESTS: The main
pests are the striped cucumber beetle (which attacks young plants and spreads Mosaic), and
the squash vine borer (controls moths). Control with Rotenone, Ambush, Diatomaceaous
Earth, or row covers. Many diseases can attack cucumbers. The best controls are using
resistant cultivars and crop rotation.
Tip: We prefer starting cucumbers indoors in 4 pots (3-4 seeds/pot) for even germinating
temperatures. When transplanting, plant as a clump - do not break apart.

Eggplant
Aubergine
Native to India, the eggplant has been cul-
tivated for 1500 years in Asia. It is known
as Aubergine or Brinjal in many countries,
it adopted the Eggplant name from early
American settlers because early variet-
ies resembled goose eggs. It is a member
of the Solanium family in close relation to
peppers, potatoes and tomatoes. Eggplants
come in many different shapes and colors,
relative to the ethnic groups. Eggplants are
a source of folic acid.
CULTURE: Eggplant is a warm season plant
similar to Tomatoes. Start indoors in April-
May or 8 weeks before planting in the gar-
den. Transplant outdoors after danger of
frost is gone and night time temperatures
are above 50F/10C. See Tomatoes for more
cultural information.
Tip: Harvest before becoming fully mature
for longer storage.

Melons
Melonen - Meloenen
Nature does not produce anything sweeter than a ripe exotic melon. Being a favourite item to
grow, we have tested various melon varieties over the years. We have had great success produc-
ing quality melons here in Canada due to good varieties and use of IRT mulch.
CULTURE: In Canada, melons are best started indoors 3-4 weeks before last frost. Start 3-4
seeds in a 3-4 pot. Transplant to the below plant spacing, do not break clumps apart. SOIL:
Melons like well drained, sandy-silty loam, high in organic matter pH 6.0-6.8 FERTILITY:
Enrich with compost or well rotted manure in spring. Melons are heavy users of nitrogen, po-
tassium and calcium. GERMINATION: For proper germination soil must be at least 72F/22C
for 5 days. Cooler soil temperature will result in poor germination. SPACING: Plant in clumps
3-4 seeds per clump, 24 apart in rows 4-7 ft apart. Close planting will result in smaller fruit
size. PESTS: See Cucumber section.
Tip: We have had great success using IRT plastic mulch which warms up the soil, retains
moisture and reduces weed competition. See Hardgoods section of catalogue.

Onions - Oignons
Zwiebeln - Cipolla - Uien
Believed to originate in Asia, onions have been used in every day life for centuries. Considered
a cool season biennial, onions prefer to grow at cooler temperatures. Higher temperatures
promote bulbing and curing. Plant onions early after the last hard frosts so that they can grow
during the spring and early summer, producing bulbs as the temperature increases.
CULTURE: For most onions, start indoors in late February to mid-March. SOIL: Fertile,
well drained non-crusting soil. Onions will adapt well to muck soils. pH 6.0-6.8 FERTILITY:
Onions use high amounts of nitrogen and potassium. Even moisture is required throughout
277 Copra Hybrid
its growth period. GERMINATION: 7-10 days at 70F/21C. Sow directly into final container
(we use P-101 cells and sow in 3 rows) 6mm/1/4 deep. Trim tops to 10cm/4 every week until
transplanting. SPACING: Space transplants 6-8 apart in rows 16 apart. HARVEST: When
onion tops start to fall over and bulbs have begun to form skins, pull up and allow to sun cure
for at least one week. Do not leave out if theres a chance of frost. STORAGE: When onions
are dry, clip off the tops and place them in shallow boxes or onion bags. Place in a cool (a few
degrees above freezing) somewhat humid place, 65-75% humidity.
Pkt contains approx. 300-500 sds; Hybrids 125-200 sds; 200-275 sds/gm.

Garden Peas
The edible garden pea dates back to the 16th
century originating in England. Most of the
varieties that we see today were developed
in the last century. Fresh peas contain mod-
erate levels of Vitamin A and C, calcium,
phosphorus and iron. The garden pea is pri-
marily a hardy cool season annual that pro-
duces its flowers as the days lengthen. Peas
are a relatively easy crop to grow with few
diseases or bug problems.
CULTURE: Sow peas when soil is cool, not
cold. SOIL: Prefers well drained loams with
good amounts of organic matter; delay
planting on heavy soils. Grow early varieties
on sandy soils due to the fact they heat up
quicker. PH 6-7 FERTILITY: Peas respond
well to moderate amounts of nitrogen,
phosphorus, and potassium. Excessive ni-
trogen will cause plants to become viny and
will reduce yields. GERMINATION: Opti-
mum Temp. 60F/10C. Peas should emerge
in 5-7 days. SPACING: sow peas 1 deep, 2
between seeds in rows 30 apart. Often they
are seeded in double rows 8-10 inches apart,
32 between double rows. PESTS: Relatively
free, most problems come with hot weather.

Peppers
Piments - Paprika - Peperoni
Peppers have gained popularity in North America over the last few years. Along with peas,
peppers are one of the oldest vegetables in the world (3400 BC). Peppers add taste and texture
to many dishes as well as providing high amounts of vitamin A & C, especially when fully
matured.
CULTURE: Peppers are warm season plants, sensitive to cold temperatures and drought con-
ditions. Start indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost date. Transplant outdoors after danger of
frost is gone and night time temperatures are above 50F/10C. Cool night temperatures will
delay growth and fruit set. Temperatures below 40F/5C can stop growth permanently. SOIL:
Almost any warm soil can be used to grow peppers. pH 6.5-7.2 FERTILITY: Peppers need
constant moisture and uniform nutrients for good yields. Excessive nitrogen can cause large
plants with no fruit. We recommend using a slow release 4-10-12. Calcium can reduce blossom
end rot. GERMINATION: 7-10 days at 75-85F/25-30C. Poor germination is a result of too
cool or erratic temperatures. Grow on at 70F/21C. SPACING: We use twin rows 40 apart with
plants spaced 14-16 apart. PESTS: Tarnished Plant Bug - stings the blossoms causing fruit
to drop when forming. Cover with a row cover or insect netting when flowers begin to bloom.
Peppers do not require insect pollination. See Tomato section for additional pests.
Tip: Do not plant too soon in the spring, cool temperatures will delay fruit set. Wait until
night temperatures are above 50F/10C.

used in pies or as an ornamental crop. For kids, the week before Halloween is spent carving
their pumpkins.
CULTURE: In short season areas plant indoors 3-4 weeks before last frost date (4 pots, 3
seeds per pot). Do not pull plants apart, transplant the whole clump. In other areas seed out-
doors when soil is warm and night time temperatures are above 48F/7C. If soil is cool, pump- C326 Lumina Hybrid A326 Spooktacular Hybrid
kin seeds will not germinate. SOIL: Pumpkins like well drained, sandy loam soil enriched with
compost or well rotted manure. FERTILITY: Add manure in the spring or apply slow release
nitrogen at the time of planting. Pumpkins need adequate moisture when forming fruits. Lack
of moisture will produce small fruits. GERMINATION: 70F/21C for 5-7 days. Cool wet soil will
cause seeds to rot. SPACING: 4 seeds in hills, 4 feet apart in rows 8 -12 feet apart. Too close of
spacing will cause small fruits. PESTS: see squash section.
Tip: For extra large pumpkins start indoors in large pots, transplant into manure mix in the
field. Pick all but 2 pumpkins from a plant clump.

Spinach
Epinard - Spinat - Spinaci - Spinazie
Loaded with iron and vitamins, spinach is one of the most nutritious green vegetables in the
garden. It can be eaten raw in salads, cooked like Swiss Chard, or it can be frozen.
CULTURE: Sow outdoors from early spring to late summer. There are different varieties for
spring and fall culture than for summer culture. SOIL: Spinach likes moist, fertile soil. FER-
TILITY: Supply medium amounts of nitrogen to produce dark green leaves. Adequate mois-
ture is essential for proper growth. GERMINATION: 5-7 days at 65F/15C. Keep moist until
growth is seen. SPACING: Sow seeds 1cm/1/2 apart and 6mm/1/4 deep in rows 12-18
apart. Thin out to 10-15cm/4-6. PESTS: the main pest is the leaf miner which bores through
the leaves. It is the larvae of the spinach fly, which lays its eggs on the leaves. Control by cover-
ing plants with row covers in mid spring or wait until late summer for a fall crop when miners
are not a problem.
Tip: Plant late summer for a fall or overwintering crop. You can usually get a better crop of
spinach in the fall than in the spring because heat, weeds, and insects are not a problem in
the fall.

Winter Squash
Courges dhiver - Speise Kurbisse - Zucca - Kalebassen
Squash is native to North and South America. During the late 1700s squash became an im-
portant staple to New England because it was well adapted to the climate and stored through-
out the winter. Today squash is still an important staple and can be used year round. Winter
squash is an excellent source of vitamin A, carbohydrates and minerals. Seeds are high in
vegetable proteins and fats.
CULTURE: Squash can be started indoors or outdoors. INDOORS: Start in peat pots or 4
plastic pots 3-4 weeks before the last frost. Sow 3-4 seeds per pot. OUTDOORS: Sow direct
when soil is warm to touch and there is no danger of frost. SOIL: Squash likes well drained,
B361 Table Ace Hybrid sandy loam soil. pH 5.5 -7.5 FERTILITY: Enrich with compost or well rotted manure before
planting. Moisture is needed when forming fruit. GERMINATION: 5-7 days at 70F/21C.
Seeds will rot if soil temperature is too cool and wet. SPACING: Plant bush varieties in hills
3-4 feet apart, rows spaced 6 feet apart. Full vined varieties plant hills 4-5 feet apart, rows
spaced 8-10 feet. PESTS: Cucumber beetle will damage young seedlings and flowers causing
disease and poor pollination. Control with a mixture of Diatomaceous Earth, row covers, or
insect netting. Squash vine borer causes wilting of the vine, the stem will be hollowed out. The
only control is spraying for a small black wasp-like moth which lays eggs in a 2 week period
when the plant begins to vine. Broad crop rotation also reduces chance of attack. HARVEST:
Pick after vine dies or rind hardens and dulls in colour. Cure in high temperatures and humid-
ity (80F/27C) for a week, then store at 50-59F/10-15C, humidity of 60%. Most winter variet-
ies can be stored for 6 months.

Melon deau - Meloenen
Nature does not produce anything sweeter than a ripe exotic melon. One of our favorite items
to grow, we have tested various melon varieties over the years. We have had great success pro-
ducing quality melons here in Canada due to good varieties and the use of IRT mulch.
CULTURE: In Canada, watermelons are best started indoors 3-4 weeks before last frost. Start
3-4 seeds in a 3-4 pot. Transplant to the below plant spacing, do not break clumps apart.
SOIL: Watermelons like well drained, sandy-silty loam, high in organic matter pH 6.0-6.8
FERTILITY: Enrich with compost or well rotted manure in spring. Watermelons are heavy us-
ers of nitrogen, potassium and calcium. GERMINATION: For proper germination soil must be
at least 72F/22C for 5 days. Cooler soil temperature will result in poor germination. SPACING:
Plant in clumps 3-4 seeds per clump, 24 apart in rows 4-7ft apart. Close planting will result in
smaller fruit size. PESTS: See Cucumber section.
Tip: We have had great success using IRT plastic mulch which warms up the soil, retains
moisture and reduces weed competition. See Hardgoods section of the catalogue.

GreenCrops
Greencrops
Winter Groundcovers
Using green manure is one of the best
ways to increase soil tilth and add
organic matter to your garden or
field. We use green manures during
the growing season in areas not being
used or being summer fallowed and
also in the fall as an over wintering
cover crop (to hold the soil and or-
ganic matter in place for the spring.)
Using legumes as a green crop allows
nitrogen to be fixed from the air into
the soil for use by a following crop.
When using green manures, remem-
ber to allow 4-6 weeks for the tilled-
in organic matter to decompose. This
can be sped up by adding nitrogen, or
by spraying a mixture of seaweed and
compost accelerator on the stubble
before tilling in.
Check out our website for information and
links to research on greencroping.
Spring Seeded: activity. Prefers soil temp 60-65F ( June).
March - June Historically soybeans were used as a forage
546 Oats-Milling -Organic
One of the most versatile greenmanures and
covercrops. We use Oats as a fall covercrop
where we will be planting into early spring. It
is a quick growing annual greencrop that dies
in the winter. When planted in late summer it
scavenges and ties up nutrients for following
crops, it grows quick and dies over the winter.
When planting in spring, work into the soil
before heads appear for maximum greenmanure
value. Oats is commonly used as a nurse crop
for grass seed, clovers and alfalfa.
547 Peas 4010 and Oats 50/50 mix
Organic O
Best greenmanure for spring seeding. Very
effective Nitrogen and biomass builder.
4010 peas are the best leafy forage peas for
plowdown, producing over 40 of green mass
in 10 weeks. Oats will utilize available nitrogen,
building soil structure, suppress weeds and
provide quick growth while the peas fix nitrogen
for following crop. Well suited for late summer/
fall seedlings as well. It is best practice to allow
three weeks before seeding following crops.
Mow down and work into soil at flowering
540 Annual RyeGrass
Fast growing annual grass used for full season
covercrops and pathways. We seed annual rye
and white clover in pathways. Its fibrous root
system supports foot and machinery traffic,
reducing compaction and adding organic matter
back in. Mow periodically to chop down seed
heads before they mature. Allowing a minimum
of 40 growing days before frost will ensure
decent cover but a high probability of winter kill.

crop for animals; this mix includes a traditional
O tall forage soybean with little pod set much
different than the common oilseed soybean.
The soybeans complement the Milo (a less
aggressive type of grain sorghum) by supplying
nitrogen to feed its vegetative growth. Mowing
prior to the Milo setting seed heads allows for
ease of incorporation.
530 Buckwheat Organic
Fastest growing summer covercrop. Buckwheat
out grows everything including weeds, making
it a great short term smother crop. While
buckwheat does not yield a large biomass, it
is an excellent scavenger of phosphorus and
potassium releasing it to the next crop.

high tonnage of dry matter, ideal for absorbing
excess nitrogen, building soil Organic Matter,
preventing erosion, suppressing weeds with
rapid growth. Mid season cutting will increase
root growth and penetration subsoil penetration.
Mow down and incorporate before frost.
Produces up to10000lbs/acre Organic matter.
567 Mustard - Bio Gold Mix
Often grown for its ability to suppress soil borne
diseases such as Rhizoctonia and Verticillium,
there is research that suggests that the same
bio activity released by the plant matter through
chopping and incorporation also has an effect
on weed control for up to 3 weeks. Although
these pest management claims are still being
tested, mustard has good potential to build
soil, reduce erosion, fight weeds and grow
quickly while producing a high amount of
biomass, given adequate time to grow. Mustard
residue breaks down quickly and is easily tilled.
Allow 4-5 weeks before seeding into after
incorporation. Do not allow to set seed.
564 Crimson Clover
566 Tillage Radish
Late Summer/Fall Seeded:
566 Tillage Radish Organic O
Breaks down hard pan with its long tap roots,
scavenging nutrients as it grows. Different
than traditional oilseed radish because of its
significantly longer and thicker tap root which
improves soil tilth, loosens clays and hardpans.
It can be seeded with oats and white clover for
a complete fall covercrop. Tillage radish will
winter kill and all residues will break down. A
light spring tillage will result in an ideal seed
bed for planting following crops. Best seeded
in late August to allow roots to grow to the full
potential.
O
Jack of all trades as a cover crop, rye will
quickly provide ground cover even at cold
temperatures. Its extensive root system
efficiently scavenges excess nitrogen that would
be otherwise lost over the winter months. The
root system of rye is much more thorough than
other cereal crops adding to its desirability as a
soil builder, and a means to reduce compaction.
Rye is among the last cover crop that will
germinate and grow below 5C. This means the
planting window is very wide depending on what
the intent of the crop is. Mow and incorporate
before seed is set. After incorporation allow 4-5
weeks before seeding into.

Flowers
Flowers have always been included
in kitchen gardens because their
flowers attract beneficial insects
necessary to pollinate and protect
vegetable plants. Some have culinary
and household uses, while others
are simply to be appreciated for
their beauty.
In the changing world of seed breed-
ing and climates, we are now seeing
annuals that overwinter and peren-
nials that bloom first year (acting
like an annual). Both annuals and
perennials are being selected for use
in garden beds and planters. We have
combined the two sections to reflect
these changes and hope that you will
experiment freely with incorporating
all flowers into your garden.
Note about starting indoors: always
use fresh sterilized seeding medium
and clean trays, plugs, and pots for
good results. When room tempera-
ture is indicated, the temperature
range is 18-21C/68-71F. Tempera-
tures above or below will affect the
speed and rate of germination.
If light is needed to help germina-
tion, a strong light source from full
spectrum bulbs is recommended.
Perennials are noted by their har-
diness zones. All perennials bloom
first year, unless indicated in the
description. Some annuals have been
known to overwinter in our trials; these
are indicated by tender perennial.

Awards for New Varieties:
All America Selections and Fleuroselect
are organizations that evaluate new flower
varieties (and vegetables for AAS) submitted
from seed breeders. The AAS entries
are tested in North America, while the
Fleuroselect entries are judged in Europe.
The winners have proven themselves world-
wide. AAS presents awards and gold medals
to an outstanding winner; Fleuroselect
awards medals, quality marks (FSQ) and
novelty awards (FSN). Occasionally a variety
is given both awards. Other awards that
we consider when adding new varieties are
those given by the Royal Horticulture Society
(Award of Garden Merit), Perennial Plant
Association (Perennial of the Year), American
Garden Award (determined by public voting
on plants at botanical gardens), and the
Greenhouse Grower Media Awards.

This was the second year of extreme heat and drought; less than one inch of rain received in
the summer. The display gardens were not supplemented with irrigation, which allowed us
to study the plants for their ability to survive. Amazingly, many of the plants remained alive,
smaller than usual, but full of colour, and rebounded at the end of summer when dew and rain
came. Here are some plants that love dry conditions and can be useful in your garden as well
as in a rock garden or green roof application: Agastache, Celosia, Coreopsis, Chives, Cosmos,

become one of the emerging garden
trends, partially due to smaller
gardening spaces, and also because the
added dimension completes a garden.
Our selection of vines are mostly
annuals selected for their flowering
ability. They are quick to grow and
bloom. Most are suited to covering
fences, arbours, large trellises or

Grass Seed
At William Dam Seeds, the grass
varieties used in our mixtures produce
higher quality, better colour, and longer
lasting lawns due to increased vigour, and
disease and bug resistance. The culti-
vars in these mixtures meet and ex-
ceed government standards for purity
and germination. We do not use any
fillers or annual ryegrass in our mix-
tures so the seed you get is 100% good
lawn grass seed.
Seeding Instructions:
Apply seed in Spring or Autumn when soil
temperature is around 15C (60F) . The best time
for maximum germination is mid August to mid
September when soil is warm, nights are cool,
dews are heavy and weeds are not as vigorous.
New Seeding:
Do not apply starter fertilizer. It can burn
young seedlings. For small areas apply seed by
hand. For larger areas use a fertilizer spreader,

application per pass - one at right angles to
the other in a crisscross pattern for complete
coverage. Use a low spreader setting. You
should see approximately 2-3 seeds in a square
inch (approximately 2.5 x 2.5 cm). Use an
empty lawn roller to press the seed in to the soil
or rake lightly with a leaf rake. Grass seed needs
soil contact to germinate and should be covered
by no more than 7mm () of soil (If the seed is
buried any deeper than this, it will have trouble
emerging from the soil. Burying the seed is a
common reason for poor lawn establishment.)
Over Seeding:
Fill bare areas with a good topsoil/ triplemix
blend. Spread a little seed in each area and
lightly rake in.

Carbon-Grown/Plant XL Drammatic LIQUID
Plant XL is a liquid mixture of living soil

to be a good match against many pathogenic
organisms. Plant XL works by creating a
competitive environment around the root
zone (rhyzosphere). The bacteria in Plant XL
deprive pathogenic organisms of food and keep
a balance in the root system.
Benefits include: properties that act as a natural
chelating agent, transporting nutrients into
the plant, stronger cell membranes and trap
moisture better than plants grown without
humic assistance, give plant protection from
drought like conditions or if errors have been
made during irrigation, roots that are exposed
to humic substances grow better root hairs
which are essential for optimal nutrient uptake.
Plant XL can be used on a wide range of
plants both in a greenhouse and field. It is a
completely natural product and is accepted by
many certification agencies.

Fertilizers
Dramm Corporation is an industry leader in
water application products. They have also
developed one of the best quality liquid fish
and kelp-based fertilizers on the market, and
have had them researched at industry respected
North American universities. They use a cold
process that allows natural enzymes to break
down fresh fish so that the fertilizer contains
all the natural oils and proteins. This product
is called a hydrolysate. It breaks down slowly
to become available to soil microbes over
a long period of time. Scientific tests have
shown hydrolysates to contain higher levels
of micronutrients, amino acids, vitamins,
hormones and enzymes than emulsion
products. OMRI Listed. For more information

for partial shipping and handling costs within
Canada and $7.95 for all bulb and root stock
orders. Due to increased oversize and bulk item
Canada Post charges, please be sure to add
oversize shipping charges where applicable.
Orders to postal codes that require air lift will
have additional charges. We begin shipping
orders at the middle to end of January; after
the new packaging has been completed. The
reason that we do not start shipping until
mid-end January is that we package the most
current crop year available. This means that
the crops come off the fields in August to
November and we usually dont receive the
seed until December-January. We prefer to
receive the most current crop available as
we have found that germination rates and
seed viability is greatly improved compared
to packaging from the previous years crop.
If you require any items earlier, please indicate
this when placing your order. If you require
your order to be shipped by a specific date,
please indicate the date clearly when placing
your order. During the peak season order
processing takes longer than at other times of
the year. There may be a 3-6 week turnover for
order processing. Backorders will be shipped
upon arrival of items. Bulb orders are shipped
in Spring after risk of frost in transit. Interior
BC orders, such as to Whaletown BC, may take
14-17 business days to ship.

to resend the parcel along with the Canada Post
