Dear Grower:


Long before you start thinking about your next garden or crop plan, we begin our own planning process at HPS … and it starts with a little horticultural detective work! What are the most exciting varieties in trial? How can we improve with each new catalog? The answers are different every year, but they always mean value and innovation for you!


Start by joining the pellet revolution – Fuseable Seeds – our fi rst-ever multi-seed pellets, specially formulated to deliver a balanced combination of two separate varieties with 95% minimum germination. You’ll fi nd four choices on the Back Cover – Blueberry Lime Jam and Flirtini (each with two different Petunias), and Cotton Candy and Silk N’ Satin (each with a Petunia and a Bacopa). Now that’s smart!


We’re happy to report that innovation is the story this year with vegetables as well – gorgeous Pumpkin Hijinks (page 6) and Pepper Orange Blaze (page 4) produce heavy yields that are nearly blemish free, while Tomatoes Lizzano (page 3) and Terenzo (page 7) are perfect patio partners. All four are All-America Selection winners for good reason!


The wheels started turning early on this 2011-2012 HPS Catalog, but the payoff is right now in our seeds and your satisfaction … just as it has been for more than 140 years.
