In Petunias, Black is the New Bloom! Petunia Black Velvet NEW!

The First Black Petunia the World Has Ever Seen!

PPAF. 'Balpevac.' It took 4 years of breeding, and was worth every day of it! The only black Petunia in the world has now arrived, and is already sweeping up awards and winning hearts. This upright, mounded plant is very compact and tight at just 8 to 12 inches high and wide, and it covers itself from early summer until frost with big, sweet-scented charcoal-black blooms. The perfect combination planting with white, red, yellow, and orange flowers, it is just as easy to grow and tirelessly blooming as other Petunias. You must try Black Velvet this season and admire its inky-dark color up close!

Petunia Pinstripe NEW! A Subtle Star in Every Bloom!

PPAF. 'Balpepin.' Each flower is just a little different on this dramatic new Petunia!

Some bear rich purple stars, others pink, and still others cream to white, all against a midnight-dark background. A lovely varied look unlike any other Petunia in the garden or on the patio, Pinstripe delights with compact, well-branched plants 8 to 12 inches high and wide. The blooms continue for months!

The Award Winner with the "Wow" Factor!

black striped wonder won the 2010 Fleuroselect Award, the 28 judges agreed that its main merit was "the wow factor." We think you'll have to agree. Tightly branched plants 8 to 12 inches high and wide need no pinching to bear masses and masses of big, brilliant blooms from summer 'til frost. Great for formal plantings, it "dresses down" beautifully for informal settings, too. Try combining it with Black Velvet (above) for color that really pops!

Each Bloom is a Masterpiece in its Own "Frame"! PPAF. 'Bhtun31501.' Just a few years ago, who could have imagined the wild beauty in store for this super long-blooming Petunia? Each violet-magenta bloom is scored with darker purple veins and neatly framed in lime green, creating an utterly unique look. This trailing plant spills over the sides of planters, lolls out of hanging baskets, and cascades from windowboxes. Just 8 to 12 inches high, it will spread 2 to 3 feet wide within its long, lovely season. Very tolerant of heat and drought, it needs no deadheading. Butterflies and hummingbirds adore it, and so will you!

Nonstop Trailing Glory! The Surfinia® Revolution! "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! 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

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-story deck • Lush groundcover for a sunny bed or border • Cascading color for terraced gardens 80052-Y1P—Blue Veined.

Sugary Hybrid

Super-high sugar content (9.5 on the Brix scale) and unique shape make this THE cherry Tomato to grow! Winner of a 2005 All-America Selection award, Sugary is exactly what its name suggests — a sweet, delectable bite-sized treat that even vegetable-phobic children love! These ½-ounce fruits are dark pink and arise in incredible numbers on plants so vigorous that you may want to prune them back in mid-season just to keep them within bounds! (Of course, if you’ve got the space, let them keep climbing — you won’t believe the yields!) Arising in big bunches like clusters of grapes, these tomatoes are pointed on both ends — an unusual and fun look!

80018-Y1P — Sugary Hybrid six-pack

Ildi Hybrid Sugary – AAS Winner!

The highest-yielding grape tomato in our trials is also the most attractive and delicious! Delectable Ildi is a sweet grape with a tart underbite — really satisfying in salads or straight from the vine! These 1-inch-diameter fruits mature quickly and are borne in huge clusters of up to 75 on vines that easily reach 5 to 6 feet high. And as if all this weren’t enough, they have great staying power on the vine or after picking, lasting for weeks without losing one bit of freshness!

87454-Y1P — IIdi Hybrid six-pack

87607-Y1P — Sunsugar Hybrid six-pack

Park’s Whopper CR Improved Hybrid The Home Gardener’s Absolute Favorite Tomato! An American classic! Even if you've never grown a tomato before, you will be successful with the Whopper. It's simply the most disease-resistant variety on the market. And if you like a lot of tomatoes, you'll love its huge yields and long season. But most of all, it's delicious! These big, juicy, crack-resistant tomatoes, 4 inches or more across, ripen evenly with a rich, juicy, substantial bite you'll find nowhere else. And they keep right on coming in huge quantities until frost — no smaller, greener end-of-season fruits here! Resistant to Verticillium Wilt, Root Knot Nematodes, Tobacco Mosaic Virus, 2 strains of Fusarium Wilt, and cracking. Set plants 2 to 2½ feet apart and stake or cage them for support.

Park’s Beefy Boy Hybrid

The only serious challenger the Whopper has ever had is Beefy Boy. Everything about this tomato is largerthan-life, from its succulent flavor to its generous yields! Bred specifically for maximum flavor, the taste is sweet yet meaty, with more solids and less gel, despite its walloping 12- to 16-ounce size. This is the tomato you must grow this year for fresh tomato sandwiches and salads! And although you get a huge crop, less space between each fruit means a more manageable, space-saving plant for the home garden! Superior disease protection, too — Beefy Boy is tolerant of Stemphylium and resistant to Verticillium Wilt, Fusarium Wilt races 1 and 2, and Tobacco Mosaic Virus. Gorgeous globe-shaped tomatoes boast deep red skin and smooth shoulders (thanks to uniform ripening).
