The mix includes:
Anjou, Comice, Forelle, Concorde, and Starkrimson.

Sowing instructions
Three months before your last frost date, place the seeds in a small pot or cup filled with good potting soil, or compost. The pot will need to be small enough to fit into a Ziplock baggie. Dampen the soil, being careful not to make it soggy. Place the pot inside a plastic baggie. Zip the baggie closed. Place it inside the refrigerator until your last frost date has passed. Take the pot out of the bag and place in a sunny window keeping the soil moist and the temperature at about 70 degrees. Spring is a great time to transplant the tree outdoors. When you are ready to transplant your tree, clear the area of weeds and grass. Keep the new tree well mulched and watered.
