HORTICULTURAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES DIV. Dear Grower:
How does a seed company maintain a genuine sense of enthusiasm for well over a century? By never sitting back, always searching out the freshest, newest, most exciting varieties and never, ever taking our customers for granted.
VINCA For Culture, see page 61. A ‘sweet’ new series ‘jam’ packed with unique color!
This new 2012-13 catalog features more than 45 fresh- faced new varieties as well as a huge selection of “tried and true” bestsellers that never fail to please. Our new Cool Wave™ Pansy Series on the Back Cover is sure to be a success – it’s the best performing spreading pansy on the market! Don’t miss our sweet new AAS Winning Vinca Jams N’ Jellies Blackberry (right) – its unique color captivated judges. Fuseables were a such a big hit last year, we’ve expanded our selection – be sure to check it out on page 11.
Speaking of AAS Winners, we’ve added the newly updated symbol to all the past and present winners throughout the catalog, making it easy locate them. Perhaps you’ll fi nd one of these gems you’ve never tried before and – maybe you’ll fi nd a new favorite.
While we are certain that we don’t have a single customer who plants over 1,000 varieties of seed, we are equally sure every one of our customers enjoy having this enormous selection to choose from!
So open this brand-new catalog, turn the pages and begin the search for your old and perhaps, new favorites.
