Raes Family

Dear gardeners, Dear clients, Both our family businesses are very pleased to provide you with our updated catalogue concerning seeds and plants/PowerPlugs! The driving forces behind the continuous growth of family businesses like ours, are the day-to-day engagement of a team of motivated employees and the collegial collaboration with our clients. Where multinationals often fail, we make the difference: service, personal contact, stable staffing, the possibility to contact the managers directly, … Rudy Raes Bloemzaden N.V., Belgium

Johannes Kloer

And of course we stay loyal to our main principle: only products of outstanding quality, going from production to end consumer! Therefore the necessary adaptations to this catalogue have been implemented again: what has proved to be weak, has gone; when better varieties were available, necessary replacements have been made. This catalogue can be considered as a reference: it will last for a few years. The yearly updates concerning novelties and replacements will be delivered to you in a flyer, together with accompanying order forms. As for our autumn assortment and our own breeding of Primroses and Violas, we wish to draw your attention to our yearly ‘Autumn Catalogue PowerPlugs’. Make sure to keep track of it!

By growing Tagetes erecta nematodes are easily controlled. To properly use this enviromentally friendly weed control, sow end of May till mid-June. Seeds need to be sown 1 - 2 cm deep (7.5 kg/ ha). Late sowings require 10 kg/ha. Good nutrition and watering provide ideal conditions, so plant habit is dense. The longer the plants stand, the better the effect. But the longer the plants grow, the harder it gets to work in the woody stems. G352 Single Gold Single flower, special ‘nematicidal’ selection to prevent juveniles.
