FLOWERING CABBAGE & KALEORNAMENTAL CABB/KALEBrassica oleracea72°, L, 14-21 DaysCROP TIME: POT: 12 weeksCULTURE: These types show best color if plants are started in late spring and set out in midsummer so that they mature during the fall. Color intensifies after frost, needs nights below 60° to show color. Sow 1 seed per cell in a 288 tray cover lightly with vermiculite and germinate at 72° for 14 days. Transplant plugs into 3 or 4 inch pots and grow on for 6 weeks. Best color is achieved when the plants are grown at night temperatures below 55°. USE: Flowering cabbage colors are actually achieved by the foliage and make very interesting focal points to add in combination containers. This makes Flowering Cabbage or Kale a great companion for fall season containers. Though all the ornamental brassicas are Cole or Kale, we group the smooth leaf types into the Cabbage group and the frilled leaf types into the Kale group.Cabbage: Smooth Edge FoliageKale: Frilly Edge Foliage

GERANIUMHOUSE GERANIUMPelargonium x hortorum70°-75°, L, 7 to 10 daysCROP TIME: POT: 12-16 weeksCULTURE: Sow seed in plug trays or sow at 1/4” spacing in rows 1 1/2” apart.

IMPATIENSBUSY LIZZY, SULTANSImpatiens wallerianaAvailable in Advanced Vigor™ Seed unless otherwise noted.CROP TIME: BASKET: 16 weeks; PACKS: 10–11 weeksCULTURE: Seed must be kept moist throughout germination. Use automatic mist or a light covering material. After germination and seedlings are established begin to reduce watering to tone plants. Light feeding only as needed to maintain foliage color will increase bloom and reduce soft growth.Double: Double Impatiens from seed offer a novelty flower form. The doubleness of the blooms resemble miniature roses but are easier to grow. That doubleness however, makes seed production very unpredictable. Seed is not available until mid-January and, even then, delivery cannot be guaranteed. We contract early and in large quantities in effort to fill your needs. Your order will be filled as soon as seed arrives.NEW GUINEA: I. x hawkeri. CULTURE:New Guinea from seed requires 5 to 10° higher temperatures from seed to finish than Impatiens walleriana for good root and shoot development. Fertilizer level should be maintained at a level below recommendation for walleriana. New Guinea Impatiens are in every spring program and for good reason too. They sell well at retail. New Guineas from seed are easy to grow if you follow a few simple guidelines. Sow seed on sterile media then lightly cover with fine grade vermiculite. Germinate at 78°, maintain 78° to 80° through the transplant stage. Feed levels must be higher than for regular Impatiens for the first 8 weeks. Finish at 72° and reduce feed through the last 6 weeks. Temperatures below 70° will stop development and may cause lower-leaf yellowing.

FRENCHTagetes patula75°, 10 daysCROP TIME: PACK: 10 weeksUSE: Every grower wants quick profits! And that’s what you get with marigolds. Popular with customers because of their bright colors, and quick and easy for a grower to produce, marigolds make an excellent “fill-in” crop for late season sales. We recommend our Girl series to produce the fastest marigold crops. Classic Series for the best outdoor performance. Native to the Americas, marigolds are easy to grow and quick to begin flowering, making them popular as cut flowers and border plants. If deadheaded regularly, they’ll bloom all summer long ‘til frost.Mid-size Crested: Center petals are quilled, multiple rows of broad flat outer petals. Height 10-14”Medium Anemone: Carnation flowered, broad petals with little or no crested center. Height 12-14”Single: Tight, quilted center with a single row of flat surrounding petals.Signet: Tagetes tenuifolia. Signet marigolds make most interesting bedding and basket crops. Their tiny single flower literally cover the compact mounds of fern-like foliage. We like signets used in annual bedding, especially where the plants can creep over a wall, much like creeping phlox (Phlox subulata). They also make very good hanging baskets.Triploid: These marigolds are crossed between French (tetraploids) and American (diploids). Producing seed is always difficult. Availability is often limited. All triploid seed is sold detailed. Culture is the same as French types. Triploids are renowned for their nonstop flowering in the garden.

PETUNIAPetunia x hybrida72°, L, 7 daysCROP TIME: PACKS: 11 weeksCULTURE: Sow seed uncovered and maintain high humidity until seedlings emerge. As soon as first true leaves develop, transplant and reduce temperatures to 55° night. Crowding will force petunias to stretch and become weak. B-Nine may be applied 1 week after transplant to promote stocky growth and basal branching. Do not apply B-Nine after flowers form as this reduces color intensity and promotes clubby growth. For basket culture, use a 2-stage transplant system by first potting into 2 1/2” cells. Then, before the plants become crowded, transplant into baskets.

PETUNIA PLANT TYPES:MOUNDED: Plants form compact mounds. Spread is relativley 2 times the height.TRAILING: Plants spread as a ground cover and trail as a hanging basket. Spread is greater than 4 times the height.HEDGE: Plants both spread and grow upright in greater than usual proportions. Plants may reach 20” in height and spread over 40”.

SEED GRADES:STANDARD SEED GRADE: All of our Petunia seed is refined to meet our grade standard.PELLETED SEED GRADE: Pelleted seed is coated with a clay material to facilitate planting by seeding machines. Today’s pelleting technology has improved methods so there should be no loss of germination in the process.

Flower TYPES:PETUNIA, SUPER GRANDIFLORA: The largest flowered Petunia of them all. Huge blooms for containers and single pots.DOUBLE GRANDIFLORA: Seed production of double petunia is difficult so seed availability is somewhat uncertain. Delivery from production fields is in December or January. We contract in large quantities to meet your needs. Your order will be filled as soon as seed arrives.DOUBLE MULTIFLORA: Smaller flowered with fewer petals than grandiflora. Slightly better garden performance. Seed production being somewhat easier than grandiflora makes the supply of multiflora doubles more reliable.FLORIBUNDA: (many medium size flowers, best outdoor performance): New classification. Tightly mounded plants covered with dozens of tiny 1” blooms. Requires no growth regulator.GRANDIFLORA: (large flowers, big retail apeal)Grandiflora are large flowered petunias. They put on an irresistible show of big flowers and have strong point of purchase appeal. Newer breeding has improved garden performance but their garden appearance is very dependent on the weather.HEDGIFLORA: Vigorous ramblers with a more upright, bush type habit.MULTIFLORA: (small flowers but many of them, very weather tolerant.) They are a combination of the most desirable characteristics of the grandiflora and multiflora types. Deliver grandiflora flower size with all the “floral abundance” and weather tolerance of a multiflora. Multiflora petunias produce a multitude of blooms on low spreading plants. The flower size is much smaller than grandiflora and floribunda types but the many flowers per plant make a very impressive mass planting that stands up to adverse summer weather.SUPER GRANDIFLORA: (the largest blooms): The largest flowered Petunia of them all. Huge blooms for containers and single pots.TRAILING AND BASKET: We have grouped the following varieties as the best suited for hanging basket performance either by virtue of their pendant flower display or their prostrate growth habit. They are also adaptable to garden culture.
