The First-ever Double Osteo! (O. ecklonis) Make those sunny annual beds and containers really pop with Osteospermum 3D™, the first double-flowered Osteo in the world!

The Surfinia Revolution! ®

w

!

"Plant them and stand back!" — ­ Allan M. Armitage The first spreading Petunia ever grown was Surfinia®, and it remains the best of the cutting-grown varieties, with a near monopoly on the Petunia market in Europe! Bred from wild Petunias crossed with cultivated seed varieties, the Surfinia® Petunias are sold only as plants — never as seed — to ensure the strongest, most vigorous and free-flowering growth over a long season. These plants spread up to 8 feet within a single season, creating a pillar of living color. And they’re great for warm climates where many varieties struggle, offering a late-season surge of blooms that no other Petunia can match! One plant easily fills a hanging basket, while six plants will blanket 20 square feet of garden beds.

The Unique Advantages of Surfinia® Petunias

• Big, easy-to-grow plants that take off from the very first day you transplant them • Quick-growing and so vigorous they can spread 8 feet in a single season • Super-floriferous, thanks to the shorter space between buds on every branch • Longer-blooming, with the heaviest show in late season, when many other Petunias wind down • Far more heat tolerant than other Petunias, flowering right through the hottest summer weather • Super-colorful, with rich, intense shades hard to find elsewhere

Surfinia® Deep Red

Where to Use Surfinias® in Your Landscape

These giant trailing plants create garden color on a grand scale, so use them to transform the look of your landscape and to solve garden dilemmas!

• Living drapery for a balcony or second-storey deck • Lush groundcover for a sunny bed or border • Cascading color for terraced gardens 80052-Z1P—Blue Veined. PP#17,735.

Grafted Tomatoes: The Future is Here!

In the photo above, the grafted plant has been pruned to 2 main shoots, Bigger Fruit, making it easy to train up the trellis and harvest.

and more of it!

Tomato Graft

Own-root Tomato

Grafted Tomato

In the photo above, the grafted plant has been pruned to 2 main shoots, making it easy to train up the trellis and harvest.

Why Park's Grafted Tomatoes are Better: • Bigger and tastier fruit, and more of it!

• Better pest and disease resistance!

• Less stressed by bad weather and poor soils!

Grafted Tomatoes are simply easier to grow, more productive, and have fewer problems with pests and diseases than any others. Here's how they work: The Best of Both Worlds The top part of one plant is attached to the root system of another, more vigorous variety. As they grow, their tissues fuse, giving you the robust health of the rootstock combined with the delicious fruit of the variety you have chosen.

Reliable and Easy to Grow Feed and water your grafted tomatoes as you would any others, but prune off any shoots that grow out below the graft. This will improve air circulation and actually increase your yields! Support these vining plants as you would any other tomato!

You'll love the results ­— plenty of big, healthy, delicious tomatoes all season long!
