You were close. Try this instead:
xpra control :DISPLAY start "THECOMMAND"

For more general information about control subcommands, try:
xpra control :DISPLAY help
Then there is also (limited) information about each subcommand:
xpra control :DISPLAY help start

When already connected with the client, you can also start new commands
directly from the client's system tray if the server has enabled the
"start-new-commands" option. (which is disabled by default)

Cheers
