Dear Valued Customer,

December 2017

Welcome to the Midwest Trading Horticultural Supplies 2018 Trade List! We are hopeful that our continued focus on improving our products and services brings value to you. All of our customers are important to us and we sincerely appreciate your business. It is people like you that allow us to have a successful company with motivated and caring employees. Thank you! Labor shortages and rapid wage increases are hindering much of the green industry and many others nationwide. We too are greatly concerned with this reality. How can we help you with these issues? Routinely, Midwest Trading considers installation efficiencies, ease of handling, managing and training. An example is our new Midwest Landscapers Pro™ bagged products series. The potting soil is designed for outdoor use with fertilization for the season. This eliminates your crews fertilizing and the training involved. With input from customers, the series bag design is unified and simplified, creating ease of understanding through color coding and bi-lingual wording. Data shows many small installations can be cheaper, cleaner and labor-saving when using bagged material. Each inefficient hour equates to missed revenue-generation, which is the greatest financial loss. Refer to page 16 for more information. Continual upgrading of our mix line is bringing improved yields, consistent moisture content and speed of production for the mixes you require. Additional staffing with our Quality Control team allows more time to explore products of potential value to you. Volume precision is very important to all of us. Customers continue sharing their appreciation of LoadScan laser technology, which precisely measures our semi loads of bark mulch. We are working on similar technologies in other aspects of our business and your products. Specifying the correct material for landscape projects is commonly a need and at times a challenge. Our team of professionals is available to assist you in whatever capacity is needed. We appreciate all you do for us and welcome your input, allowing us to have a greater positive impact on your business and the industry as a whole. Please reach out to us with any ideas you may have that would create greater efficiencies for your team. When customers visit our facilities, they always remark that it was well worth their trip, so please contact us to arrange a tour. We welcome you! Sincerely,

Joe Hobson President & COO

Christa Orum-Keller Chairman

Craig Keller Vice Chairman

Coir Mix is a great option for growing on the dry side. Similar to vermiculite, coconut coir improves wetting and rewetting of mixes without sacrificing crucial air porosity. This widely used blend is designed for flats and containers up to 12". A versatile blend for any greenhouse operation, the original Flat and Pack mix is a tried and true peat based greenhouse blend. This mix is ideal for flats and containers up to 12". This popular variant of Flat and Pack includes parboiled rice hulls, which is a sustainable cost effective alternative to perlite. Parboiled rice hulls perform as well as perlite in creating air porosity without the tendency to persist in the landscape. This versatile mix is ideal for flats and containers up to 12". The addition of vermiculite in the Flat and Pack Plus helps the mix retain moisture, increases nutrient holding capacity and helps to buffer the pH. One of the more widely used blends in the industry, it is optimized for flats and containers up to 12". High Porosity Mix is a pine-based mix that is well suited for larger containers. It holds up well to settling and degradation over longer crop cycles. This mix is ideal for container sizes 4" and larger. Also great for shifting up smaller plants and production of premium 4-6" annuals. This blend contains coarse pine bark to maintain stability of the soil structure and porosity over longer crop cycles. Coconut coir improves wetting and rewetting of mixes and reduces shrinkage from dry down cycles. Ideal for mixed planters or specimen annuals and perennials in 12" containers and larger. Cost effective growing media that is well suited for mum production and can be used for many crop types and container sizes.

Our professional-grade, quality-sourced bag ingredients can save you time and money on smaller jobs. Increase your profit opportunities with these easy to transport accurate measurement bags that help reduce the amount of time and labor expended on job sites. One cubic yard of bulk material equals 18 bags of MIDWEST LANDSCAPERS PRO™. These bags are easier on your equipment, easier to store, easier for touch up work and weather tolerant. Turn to page 17 in this catalog to learn more about how our bags can help your bottom line. Ready to order? Call Midwest Trading at 630-365-1990.

PHONE 630-365-1990 • FAX 630-365-3818


Increase your profit opportunities on small jobs of 1 cubic yard or less by using our new

MIDWEST LANDSCAPERS PRO™ No more mess: No more dumping a bulk pile, no more stains on hard surfaces and no more tracking footprints. Keep things clean and organized – get in and out quicker. No extra clean up after the product is installed, then easily return extra bags to your yard or keep in the truck as backup. Easy touch-ups: No need to use valuable resources sending someone back to your yard to get additional

mulch. Have a couple extra bags on hand for easy touch-ups and back up. Maintenance can be done on the spot when homeowners ask, and maintenance crews can keep extra bags in their truck at all times.

Save time and money: Make loading, unloading and installation faster and easier by using bags. Without a bulk pile you won’t have to shovel as much. Who doesn’t want less shoveling? This also means crews can work more efficiently – reducing time spent on the job and saving you valuable labor hours. 100% volume accuracy: Forget about questioning small loads measured with an end loader; know

exactly what you’re buying and exactly what you’re installing. Don’t risk your crews bringing too much or too little to the jobsite. (Our LoadScan has 100% volume accuracy for your full semi loads of certain products)

Increase efficiency: Getting the job done quicker, more safely and more accurately will allow you more time to get more jobs done with less labor.

Minimize risk: You won’t have to unhook your trailer or dump a bulk pile when using bags, which

increases overall safety for workers. Less chance for injury makes the job safer and easier. Cut down on business risk and increase reward.

Less wear and tear on your equipment:

Less unhooking trailers and dumping bulk piles helps extend the life of your equipment. Less wear and tear means less maintenance and fewer repairs. Save your time and money for something else.

Increase versatility: Have a variety of bagged products on your truck without having to separate them or

run the risk of products mixing together. Increase your versatility and make your life easier.

Weather tolerant: With bagged products you can worry less about bad weather. Weather tolerance gives you more convenience and less delay. Don’t let the weather dampen your work; stay ahead of the game by having a game plan; use bagged products. • No more mess • Minimize risk • Easy touch-ups • Less wear and tear on equipment • Save time and money • Increase versatility • 100% volume accuracy • Weather tolerant • Increase efficiency For a list of all bagged products, look for pricing on page 21.

MUSHROOM COMPOST (SMS)

What is Mushroom Compost? (Spent Mushroom Substrate) This high quality compost is the material that results from the mushroom growing process. It is a combination of composted straw, horse manure and supplemental nutrients. While originally designed to meet stringent nutritional and structural media requirements for mushroom growers, this formulation is excellent for soil amendment use in the landscape and gardens. The high nutrient values are excellent for inducing plant growth and health, while the structural characteristics are ideal for loosening and improving heavy soils.

22 22

Benefits of Mushroom Compost (SMS): ► Can be used as a soil amendment, compost or mulch ► Improves soil structure and increases beneficial microbial populations ► Increases soil aeration and improves soil/water status ► Ideal for loosening and improving heavy soils, reducing compaction ► Food grade growing media with low soluble salt concentrations ► Provides plant nutrients and increases plant nutrient availability ► Increases root structure; great for establishing sod and seeded lawns ► Great for mitigation of damaged soil; decreases need for fertilizers ► Steam pasteurized (to remove pathogens and weed seeds) and screened ► Overwintering further "cures" before amending soils for seedlings use ► 1 Cubic Yard will generously cover a 150 square foot area

MULCH Why Do We Mulch Plantings? Adding mulch to the landscape helps retain moisture, moderates soil temperature, reduces weed growth and also helps prevent frost heave. When used around trees and shrubs, it provides a protective barrier from lawn mowers and trimmers. Aesthetically, dark colored mulches also provide a sharp contrast to the green vegetation of the landscape.

CU-Structural Soil®

Midwest Roof Media

Developed and tested at Cornell University, CU-Structural Soil® is a media designed to provide increased rooting volume for trees in plantings adjacent to pavement. This mix is a revolutionary patented stone/soil tree mix that extends urban tree life and growth, optimizes root space under pavement, increases porosity and drainage while providing a stable pavement base. Midwest Trading is licensed to produce CU-Structural Soil® under strict qualifications. This is a nonstocked item, please allow time for production scheduling.

Formulated under the German FLL standards, Midwest Trading specializes in a variety of green roof and roof garden growing media for many different applications. A popular global trend in urban settings, green roofs and roof gardens reduce runoff, lower ambient air temperatures, reduce air and ozone pollutants, provide a habitat for wildlife, improve site aesthetics and increase real estate value.

VERSAQUONSET GREENHOUSES VersaQuonset Kits Our standard VersaQuonsets are 80' in length. Custom lengths are available in 4' increments. Poly and Shade Cloth not included. When ordering a 16' VersaQuonset, or the 16', 20' or 24' Pro-Line, you will see a slightly different look due to our computerized pipebending equipment. The bend starts out straight, approximately 1 ft on the 16' hoop, 1 ft. 8 inches on the 20' hoop, and 4' on the 24' hoop, and then arches. Our VersaQuonset 13 & 22 have not changed. If you are replacing or adding to an existing house, please let us know and we can custom bend the tubing for you in the original design (original design is for houses built before 2003). Midwest Trading does not custom cut steel hoops and sells only the listed widths.

Frost-heave

The uplift of water-saturated soil or other surface deposits caused by the freezing of internal moisture. This can be reduced through proper mulching of soil beds.

Galvanized

To coat metal with zinc.

German FLL Standards

A standard for greenroof media design developed in Germany that specifies performance criteria such as air porosity and infiltration under laboratory compaction, particle size distribution and organic matter content.

Gypsum

Hydrated Calcium sulfate used to provide Calcium and Sulfur in soil and to loosen heavy clay soils.

Hardwood Bark Fines

A fine textured bark mulch that retains moisture, moderates soil temperature, reduces weed growth and prevents frost heaving.

Hydro-gel Stabilizer

Stabilizes the dispersion of polymerization, a chemical reaction in which two or more molecules combine to form larger molecules that contain repeating structural units.

Iron Sulfate

Also known as Ferrous Sulfate, used to lower soil pH and provide Iron (Fe) and Sulfur (S).

Leaf Mulch

A natural product finely ground and screened from leaves of woody plants that conditions the soil, improves water retention and provides a home for earthworm and beneficial microbial activity.

Microbial Activity

A potential indicator of soil quality to mineralize organic nutrients for growth and development.

Mulch

To add soil cover of organic materials such as processed bark or compost. Reduces weed seed pressure, evaporation and helps regulate soil temperature.

Mushroom Compost

MIDWEST GIVES BACK

Midwest Trading proudly supports the green industry organizations and our partners as well as the community by giving back with in-kind donations toward beautification projects. These community entities include local social service agencies, schools and non-profit foundations.

In 2017, Midwest Trading donated Mushroom Compost to The GardenWorks Project in Chicago, Illinois for their raised vegetable garden plots. "We were thrilled to see the great results our clients had in their vegetable gardens last year after adding Mushroom Compost donated by Midwest Trading. The gardens seemed to retain moisture better and the families we serve experienced huge harvests. We are happy to add Mushroom Compost to all sixty of the gardens we will build for families facing hunger in Chicago’s west suburbs in 2017. We’re grateful for our partnership with Midwest Trading and appreciate their dedication to nonprofit gardening programs." - Tina Koral, Executive Director of The GardenWorks Project
