Message From Dale<br />

We all know these are challenging<br />

times to run a business. Everyone we<br />

talk to is working harder than ever.<br />

In the nursery and garden center<br />

business there is a lot of uncertainty.<br />

But I encourage each of you to stop,<br />

take a moment, and think about why<br />

our industry is so special. We produce<br />

and offer people plants that beautify<br />

the world. We renew neighborhoods<br />

and bring people together. We create<br />

the smile after a day of hard work. We<br />

make the world a better place!<br />

Dale Deppe - President<br />

Spring Meadow Nursery, Inc., All of us together, have helped to<br />

evaluating New Lilac Scent<br />

build the most successful, most trusted<br />

and Sensibility <br />

plant brand. <strong>Proven</strong> <strong>Winners</strong> is a<br />

brand that belongs to and benefits all<br />

of us. You choose the plants that are best for your climate and clientele.<br />

Each plant sold funds the marketing and builds additional demand.<br />

The individual mix of <strong>Proven</strong> <strong>Winners</strong> plants that you develop gives<br />

homeowners the confidence to be successful gardeners.<br />

Together, we’ve all helped to fund over a half a million dollars of breast<br />

cancer research. We’ve touched lives and given hope to cancer survivors<br />

and their families with the help of a pink hydrangea. The nursery and<br />

garden center community has hosted over 300 pink days to raise money<br />

and awareness for this important cause.<br />

One plant at a time, the Spring Meadow community of plant geeks has<br />

raised more than a half million dollars for horticulture research (HRI)<br />

and endowed one horticulture scholarship. Together we are making<br />

a difference.<br />

We’ve made some changes to our<br />

catalog for 2012-2013. Now vines,<br />

evergreens and flowering shrubs<br />

(including broadleaf color items)<br />

are in separate sections. We hope<br />

you like this new format!<br />

Spring Meadow<br />

Facilities<br />

A Bird’s Eye View<br />

Spring Meadow Nursery has over<br />

20 acres of greenhouses, including<br />

8 acres of Cravo ® retractable<br />

roof greenhouses and 9 acres of<br />

Westbrook open roof greenhouses,<br />

and more than 120 acres dedicated<br />

to stock plants.<br />

Technology Means Better Plants<br />

Spring Meadow Nursery was one<br />

of the first shrub wholesalers in the<br />

country to use flood floors, which<br />

has led to the development of<br />

healthier, more disease-resistant<br />

plants.<br />

Propagation Facilities<br />

High pressure fog systems, traveling<br />

booms, bottom heat floors, and<br />

computerized controls create the<br />

optimum propagation environment.<br />

It’s no surprise that many growers use<br />

us as their propagation department.<br />

Quality Control<br />

Our grading machine analyzes each<br />

plant and sorts it into one of four<br />

grades. The machine evaluates up to<br />

7,500 plants per hour. Automating<br />

the grading process eliminates the<br />

possibility of human error when deciding<br />

whether or not to ship a plant, and<br />

has improved the consistency of Spring<br />

Meadow Nursery’s product.<br />

Trimmer<br />

At Spring Meadow Nursery, we trim<br />

our liners multiple times to produce<br />

that perfectly branched, compact<br />

liner. Historically this has been done<br />

with hand-held, gas powered hedgetrimmers.<br />

To accomplish this necessary<br />

task more effectively and efficiently,<br />

Spring Meadow invented a new piece<br />

of equipment: A 24-foot wide trimming<br />

machine. Using a 24-foot long cutting<br />

blade, this Spring Meadow-designed<br />

machine allows one person to trim over<br />

3500 liner-trays in 10 minutes. It’s 40X more<br />

efficient than using hedge trimmers, and<br />

results in a cleaner, more uniform trim.<br />

Liner Sizes<br />

Spring Meadow Nursery offers a variety of liner sizes, so<br />

that you can better meet the demands of your climate<br />

and customers.<br />

Quick Turn / 16 Tray<br />

React quickly to market shortages of hot-selling varieties<br />

with the Quick Turn big, deep, fast-turning liner. Better in<br />

value than one gallon shift-ups, Quick Turn liners are ideal<br />

for shifting into one-, two- or three-gallon pots and selling<br />

quickly, finishing in less than 10 weeks. Available with pallet<br />

shipments only, select <strong>Proven</strong> <strong>Winners</strong> ® ColorChoice ® plants.<br />

4" Pot / 18 Tray<br />

Many varieties are available in 4” pots as well as 2 1 /4” pots.<br />

These varieties will finish in less than one growing season.<br />

Available with roses, hydrangea, buddleia and other select<br />

varieties. Excellent value for potting into one- and<br />

two - gallon pots.<br />

Suggestions for Ordering<br />

We pride ourselves on delivering the varieties you want<br />

when you want them. The sooner we know your liner<br />

needs and receive your order, the better we can fill it —<br />

without back orders or running out of stock. Here are a<br />

few tips to ensure your complete satisfaction:<br />

Create a Standing Order<br />

To ensure you receive the varieties you want, year after<br />

year, create a standing order. We fill standing orders first,<br />

propagating specifically to meet customers’ requests.<br />

If you’re worried about changing your mind and getting<br />

“stuck” with plants you no longer want, don’t worry! You<br />

can always adjust your order. Ask your sales rep for more<br />

information.<br />

Order Early<br />

Our catalog is published mid to late summer, and smart<br />

growers know to check out the new varieties and order<br />

at once (It’s also a great time to adjust your standing<br />

order, too).<br />

Small Orders<br />

Mid-May is the best time for placing a small order<br />

because our liners are at their peak. This reduces the<br />

potential of backorders.<br />

Confirmation and Shipping<br />

We’ll give you a call about two weeks before your order<br />

is shipped. This is the perfect opportunity to make last<br />

minute adjustments to your order and to confirm your<br />

contact information, delivery address, or any special<br />

instructions or directions to the driver.<br />

If you need a price list, please call Spring Meadow<br />

Nursery, Inc. at 1-800-633-8859.<br />

2 1 /4" Pot / 32 Tray<br />

A great buy for potting into one- gallon or 8- inch pots.<br />

Available in most varieties, these will finish in one growing<br />

season or less. Spring Meadow Nursery can supply you with<br />

full color picture tags of all our varieties! Ask your salesperson<br />

to add tags to your plant order to save you time and make<br />

your life easier.<br />

Marketing<br />

®<br />

It starts with great plants. We don’t waste our time<br />

marketing plants that are anything less than superior.<br />

If a plant isn’t markedly better than those already on the<br />

market, it’s not a <strong>Proven</strong> Winner. Our plants must deliver<br />

better performance for growers, better shelf appeal for<br />

retailers, and a standout show in consumers’ gardens.<br />

State-of-the-art marketing gets the message out<br />

to gardeners (and non-gardeners who buy plants).<br />

Online, through our website and social media channels,<br />

and inspiring people with our e-magazines.<br />

Our many award-winners illustrate how solid our<br />

plant selections are:<br />

growers cease fertilization in August and run the plants very dry to help them<br />

harden off for winter.<br />

Hydrangea serrata<br />

Mountain Hydrangea<br />

Family: Hydrangaceae<br />

H. serrata is native to mountainous regions of Asia and Japan, and<br />

is better suited to cold climates than H. macrophylla, which is native<br />

to milder coastal regions. While we have liked H serrata for years<br />

because of its improved bud hardiness, the new Tuff Stuff hydrangea<br />

adds another dimension of coolness to this species: it reblooms. If<br />

your reblooming H. macrophyllas have been inconsistent performers,<br />

try Tuff Stuff. It’s the reblooming hydrangea that really does.<br />

Tiny Tuff Stuff Hydrangea<br />

Tiny Tuff Stuff (H. s. ‘MAKD’, ppaf, cbraf)<br />

This is a real beauty, with flowers so delicate and refined that it seems<br />

strange to call them TUFF STUFF. But they are. Extremely bud-hardy, each year it<br />

produces abundant lacecap flowers comprised of doubled sepals. While this plant<br />

leans to blue, the flower color may range from blue to pink to white – all soft,<br />

delicate shades perfect for refined gardens. The flowers age to an attractive pink,<br />

and tip down in a distinctive arching fashion. Propagation prohibited without a license.<br />

accounts. Its attractive, reddish-pink, lacecap flowers create a mass of color in early<br />

summer. It continues to produce new buds and flowers right up until frost. The semidouble<br />

to double florets begin with creamy coloration in the center before maturing<br />

temperatures reach a sustained day temperature of roughly 85+°F with long days.<br />

more. Propagation is prohibited without a license. Patent/trademark tag required.<br />

We’ll Make It The Next Great Plant Introduction<br />

as your partner, we’ll provide you with the patent assistance, production, growers, distribution system<br />

Giving Back<br />

Nursery growers know that a small investment today will lead to a better<br />

tomorrow. Like our many of our customers, Spring Meadow Nursery has a long<br />

tradition of giving back to the industry that makes our landscapes green.<br />

HRI<br />

One of the ways we do this is by working with our customers to fund the<br />

Horticulture Research Institute (HRI). Since 1962, HRI has worked to increase<br />

the quality and value of plants, improve the productivity and profitability of<br />

the nursery and landscape industry, and protect and enhance the environment.<br />

Every time you make a purchase from Spring Meadow Nursery, we add ¼ of<br />

1% of your total purchase amount to your invoice as a contribution to HRI.<br />

Spring Meadow then triples your donation, which is given to HRI to support<br />

the Spring Meadow Nursery New Plants Fund and the HRI Endowment Fund.<br />

Most recently these funds supported research into biodegradable nursery<br />

containers and the potential of ornamental plants for carbon sequestration.<br />

“The information gained from this project will directly benefit producers,<br />

retail outlets, landscape designers and landscape contractors. It will ultimately<br />

contribute to education produces that promote the contributions of plants to<br />

environmental stewardship and sustainability.”<br />

– Quantifying Carbon Sequestration in Woody and Herbaceous Plants,<br />

Dr. Robert Schutzki, Michigan State University<br />

We like to have a more hands-on approach to educating young horticulturists,<br />

too. Every year Spring Meadow hires several interns and gives them valuable<br />

work experience in a production nursery. We’ve enjoyed working with young<br />

people from across the U.S. and Canada, and even as far away as Poland and<br />

France. If you know of a young person who would like to apply for one of<br />

next year’s positions, please have them contact Jeremy Deppe,<br />

(jeremy@springmeadownursery.com).<br />

IPPS<br />

Spring Meadow Nursery is a proud member of IPPS, The International Plant<br />

Propagators Society, and has sponsored Southern and Eastern regional<br />

meetings. IPPS is a wonderful resource for anyone involved in the horticulture<br />

industry, and Spring Meadow encourages our customers to be a part of this<br />

“Seek and Share” organization. Find out more at www.ipps.org<br />

Breast Cancer Research Foundation<br />

Together we have helped raise nearly $500,000 for breast cancer research!<br />

For every Invincibelle ® Spirit hydrangea sold, $1 is donated to the Breast<br />

Cancer Research Foundation. Spring Meadow Nursery has also made separate<br />

contributions to this worthy organization, which has a 4-star rating from<br />

Charity Navigator. Over 90% of all donation dollars go directly to research<br />

grants and awareness programs. BCRF funds research around the world, with<br />

grants now supporting 172 scientists in 12 countries. BCRF is dedicated to<br />

preventing breast cancer and finding a cure in our lifetime by funding clinical<br />

and translational research worldwide. Find out more at www.bcrfcure.org<br />

Super Clematis<br />

Clematis has a reputation for being difficult. But that<br />

was before world class clematis breeder Szczepan<br />

Marczynski developed ‘Sweet Summer Love’ clematis.<br />

This new, award winning Sweet Autumn Clematis<br />

hybrid is super easy, super fragrant and super colorful.<br />

It boasts hundreds of cranberry-violet flowers with a<br />

delicious cherry-vanilla fragrance. The blooms appear<br />

in late summer and keep coming right up through<br />

autumn. Unlike other clematis, pruning is a breeze.<br />

Just cut it back 1-2’ in the spring, stand back and enjoy.<br />

It's great for covering fences or dressing up deck rails,<br />

gazebos and pergolas.
