2 Message From Dale We all know these are challenging times to run a business. Everyone we talk to is working harder than ever. In the nursery and garden center business there is a lot of uncertainty. But I encourage each of you to stop, take a moment, and think about why our industry is so special. We produce and offer people plants that beautify the world. We renew neighborhoods and bring people together. We create the smile after a day of hard work. We make the world a better place! Dale Deppe - President Spring Meadow Nursery, Inc., All of us together, have helped to evaluating New Lilac Scent build the most successful, most trusted and Sensibility plant brand. Proven Winners is a brand that belongs to and benefits all of us. You choose the plants that are best for your climate and clientele. Each plant sold funds the marketing and builds additional demand. The individual mix of Proven Winners plants that you develop gives homeowners the confidence to be successful gardeners. Together, we ve all helped to fund over a half a million dollars of breast cancer research. We ve touched lives and given hope to cancer survivors and their families with the help of a pink hydrangea. The nursery and garden center community has hosted over 300 pink days to raise money and awareness for this important cause. One plant at a time, the Spring Meadow community of plant geeks has raised more than a half million dollars for horticulture research (HRI) and endowed one horticulture scholarship. Together we are making a difference. We ve made some changes to our catalog for Now vines, evergreens and flowering shrubs (including broadleaf color items) are in separate sections. We hope you like this new format!

Technology Means Better Plants Spring Meadow Nursery was one of the first shrub wholesalers in the country to use flood floors, which has led to the development of healthier, more disease-resistant plants. Propagation Facilities High pressure fog systems, traveling booms, bottom heat floors, and computerized controls create the optimum propagation environment. It s no surprise that many growers use us as their propagation department. Quality Control Our grading machine analyzes each plant and sorts it into one of four grades. The machine evaluates up to 7,500 plants per hour. Automating the grading process eliminates the possibility of human error when deciding whether or not to ship a plant, and has improved the consistency of Spring Meadow Nursery s product. Trimmer At Spring Meadow Nursery, we trim our liners multiple times to produce that perfectly branched, compact liner. Historically this has been done with hand-held, gas powered hedgetrimmers. To accomplish this necessary task more effectively and efficiently, Spring Meadow invented a new piece of equipment: A 24-foot wide trimming machine. Using a 24-foot long cutting blade, this Spring Meadow-designed machine allows one person to trim over 3500 liner-trays in 10 minutes. It s 40X more efficient than using hedge trimmers, and results in a cleaner, more uniform trim. 2

4 Liner Sizes Spring Meadow Nursery offers a variety of liner sizes, so that you can better meet the demands of your climate and customers. Quick Turn / 16 Tray React quickly to market shortages of hot-selling varieties with the Quick Turn big, deep, fast-turning liner. Better in value than one gallon shift-ups, Quick Turn liners are ideal for shifting into one-, two- or three-gallon pots and selling quickly, finishing in less than 10 weeks. Available with pallet shipments only, select Proven Winners ColorChoice plants. 4" Pot / 18 Tray Many varieties are available in 4 pots as well as 2 1 /4 pots. These varieties will finish in less than one growing season. Available with roses, hydrangea, buddleia and other select varieties. Excellent value for potting into one- and two - gallon pots. Suggestions for Ordering We pride ourselves on delivering the varieties you want when you want them. The sooner we know your liner needs and receive your order, the better we can fill it without back orders or running out of stock. Here are a few tips to ensure your complete satisfaction: Create a Standing Order To ensure you receive the varieties you want, year after year, create a standing order. We fill standing orders first, propagating specifically to meet customers requests. If you re worried about changing your mind and getting stuck with plants you no longer want, don t worry! You can always adjust your order. Ask your sales rep for more information. Order Early Our catalog is published mid to late summer, and smart growers know to check out the new varieties and order at once (It s also a great time to adjust your standing order, too). Small Orders Mid-May is the best time for placing a small order because our liners are at their peak. This reduces the potential of backorders. Confirmation and Shipping We ll give you a call about two weeks before your order is shipped. This is the perfect opportunity to make last minute adjustments to your order and to confirm your contact information, delivery address, or any special instructions or directions to the driver. If you need a price list, please call Spring Meadow Nursery, Inc. at /4" Pot / 32 Tray A great buy for potting into one- gallon or 8- inch pots. Available in most varieties, these will finish in one growing season or less. Spring Meadow Nursery can supply you with full color picture tags of all our varieties! Ask your salesperson to add tags to your plant order to save you time and make your life easier. 3

99 Giving Back Nursery growers know that a small investment today will lead to a better tomorrow. Like our many of our customers, Spring Meadow Nursery has a long tradition of giving back to the industry that makes our landscapes green. HRI One of the ways we do this is by working with our customers to fund the Horticulture Research Institute (HRI). Since 1962, HRI has worked to increase the quality and value of plants, improve the productivity and profitability of the nursery and landscape industry, and protect and enhance the environment. Every time you make a purchase from Spring Meadow Nursery, we add ¼ of 1% of your total purchase amount to your invoice as a contribution to HRI. Spring Meadow then triples your donation, which is given to HRI to support the Spring Meadow Nursery New Plants Fund and the HRI Endowment Fund. Most recently these funds supported research into biodegradable nursery containers and the potential of ornamental plants for carbon sequestration. The information gained from this project will directly benefit producers, retail outlets, landscape designers and landscape contractors. It will ultimately contribute to education produces that promote the contributions of plants to environmental stewardship and sustainability.

100 Spring Meadow Nursery, Inc th Avenue Grand Haven, Michigan Change Service Requested PRSRT STD MAIL U.S. Postage PAID Grand Haven, MI Permit #76 Super Clematis Clematis has a reputation for being difficult. But that was before world class clematis breeder Szczepan Marczynski developed Sweet Summer Love clematis. This new, award winning Sweet Autumn Clematis hybrid is super easy, super fragrant and super colorful. It boasts hundreds of cranberry-violet flowers with a delicious cherry-vanilla fragrance. The blooms appear in late summer and keep coming right up through autumn. Unlike other clematis, pruning is a breeze. Just cut it back 1-2 in the spring, stand back and enjoy. It's great for covering fences or dressing up deck rails, gazebos and pergolas.
