Suggestions for an Enjoyable Visit: 1) Please understand, we are primarily a wholesale grower and the spring months (March, April, and May) are extremely demanding for us. To be open to the general public and to keep our prices reasonable, we find it necessary to be a self-service operation. We do not have the sales staff to walk with each customer individually. We will direct you to the greenhouse(s) that contain the plant material you are looking for and provide a map giving an overview of our operation. If you need assistance and provide us a list of the plants you desire by fax or 72 hours prior to your anticipated visit, we will pull the plants for you. This allows us time to work the order into our pulling schedule. Lengthy orders are difficult to take by phone and there is more opportunity for errors, therefore they are discouraged. We do not offer landscape services, either planning or installation. You may want to consider contacting a landscape professional for this kind of service. 2) Wear comfortable walking shoes. We have several greenhouses spread over a wide area, and in order to see everything, you will need to do a considerable amount of walking in graveled greenhouses and driveways. 3) We have several greenhouses that are propagation areas and restricted to employees only. None of the plants contained in these houses are for sale. We also may have restricted areas in other houses that may be marked by signs, strings, etc. If you are interested in something in a restricted area, please ask one of our salespeople for assistance. 4) We have several pushcarts, wagons, and baskets with which you may shop. These are located around the sales office and greenhouses. Please bring all merchandise to the sales office for check out. If you need assistance getting your plants to the front, please ask and we will be happy to help. 5) Please remember that most of our plant material is very susceptible to windburn and crushing. Covering is strongly recommended if traveling in an open truck. FRONT COVER: Iris pallida Aureo-variegata

We are within about 2 hours traveling time from Nashville, Chattanooga, Huntsville, and Knoxville. Look for our sign on Highway 56. If you would like a detailed map, you can access a link to that information on our website ( Quantity Discounts Whole unmixed flats of bedding plants, annuals and perennials are discounted at different levels depending on the price. Please see the Pricing Guide at the back of the catalog for full flat pricing. These discounts apply only to unmixed, same VARIETY flats (for example, a whole flat of Vodka begonias not a flat of all kinds of begonias).

3 2 Useful Information Guarantee/Warranty We do our best to ensure that we sell high quality plant material labeled true to name. If there is an error on our part, please contact us as soon as possible. With reasonable evidence of the error, we will gladly replace the plants or refund the original purchase price. However, our liability shall in no case exceed the original purchase price. Many factors affect plant growth and health; therefore, we give NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED as to plant performance, bloom times, height, habit, or hardiness after you take possession of the plant material. We strongly recommend that plants break dormancy before they are purchased. We give NO WARRANTY on plants purchased while dormant. Likewise, we try to use good information on our tags and in our catalog. There are many opportunities for human error in the whole process of obtaining that information. Many of our tags come with the liners and the information contained is out of our control. Additionally, many plants may grow differently in different areas of the country. Please keep this in mind when using the information provided to make buying decisions. Pot Sizes In the horticultural industry, pot sizes are many times somewhat smaller than what they are commonly called, much like 2 x 4 lumber is really 1.63 x In an effort to minimize some of the confusion this creates, we want to clarify what you can expect with our most common sizes: Bedding plants are grown in an industry-standard 1020 flat (11 x 22 ). There are 12 cell packs per flat with 3 or 4 plants per pack. 2 ½ pots are 2.5 square by 3.25 to 3.5 deep (depending on the manufacturer) and fit 32 to a flat. 4 pots are 3 to 3.5 wide by 3 to 3.5 deep (depending on the manufacturer) and fit 18 to a flat. They are approximately the same size as a traditional 4 square pot. Square 2 quart (5.5 square deep perennial pots) are 5.25 square by 7 deep and fit 8 pots to a 1020 flat for easy handling. They hold only slightly less soil than a trade gallon. We do use full gallons on some items; however, the majority of our gallon perennials are in trade (short) gallons that are 6 to 6.5 in diameter, 6 to 6.5 deep, and hold approximately 3 quarts or a little less. 3 gallon containers are normally trade 3 gallons which are approximately 10 in diameter, 9 deep, and hold approximately 10 quarts of soil. Christmas Flowers We offer poinsettias in a wide range of colors and sizes. Please check with us in November for current pricing. We work with several churches and other organizations, so please consider us for your poinsettia needs.

4 Useful Information 3 Clay Pottery We carry clay pottery, including strawberry jars, standard clay pots and other ornamental items. Our clay pot and saucer sizes start at 3 and go up to 20. Bulbs We offer #1 landscape quality bulbs in the fall. These include multiple types of daffodils, tulips, and other bulbs. Please check with us in August or September for price and availability. Plant Hardiness Zones Many of the plants in our main perennial section are listed with two sets of zones. One makes use of the USDA s breakdown of the country into zones based on the average annual minimum temperatures. The other utilizes the American Horticultural Society s heat zone map which divides the country into zones based on the average annual number of days in which the temperature exceeds 86 F. Much of Middle Tennessee is in heat zone 7. Heat zones in this catalog are preceded by an uppercase H. While it might be confusing at first to use the two zone listings in conjunction, it is a useful tool in gauging how a particular plant might do in your area. While a given plant might be quite cold hardy, it might suffer and/or die because the summers are too long and hot. That said, these are just guidelines, albeit useful ones. The zones can sometimes change with the weather, and there are microclimates within zones (and often within individual gardens) in which the rules can be broken. We hope the information is helpful, but please understand that it is not a guarantee of survival. The USDA plant hardiness zone map is on our inside back cover, and you can learn more on the US National Arboretum s website ( More information about heat zones and the heat zone map can be accessed at the website of the American Horticultural Society ( Mary s Greenhouse Online We hope our website serves as a useful resource.

5 4 Useful Information Frequently Asked Questions Is there a Mary/where is Mary? There was a Mary. Mary Hamby started the business in the mid-1970s as a backyard hobby. She had always enjoyed growing plants and she discovered she had a real knack for growing. The business grew through the years, adding greenhouses as she expanded. Mary semi-retired in 2002 and could be seen working in her garden beside the Sales Office. Mary passed away in August Mary s Greenhouse is still a family-owned business with several family members playing key roles. When is the best time to come for the biggest selection? This is a difficult question to answer because it depends on the weather. If we have an early spring, it is best to visit early- to mid-march for perennials or earlyto mid-april for annuals. If you want to try to get both perennials and annuals in one trip, plan to come early- to mid-april. The perennial selection may not be as good, but if you are only planning one trip this would allow for more annuals to be available. If we have a late spring, you could probably delay your trip two to three weeks. Do you offer landscape design or installation? Unfortunately, we do not. Our expertise lies with growing plants in a greenhouse environment. While we do have a display garden on site and are constantly trialing new plants, we don t have anyone on staff that is a designer or installer to give advice. Because our staff is spread very thin during the spring when most of our customers visit, it is unlikely we will be able to research detailed plant information for you. We find the internet to be a useful tool if you need more information about a specific plant. If you need a garden design, please contact a landscape business in your area. We do not keep a list of landscapers. How many greenhouses do you have? We have 52 full-sized greenhouses plus a few smaller ones that we cover with plastic during the cold months. If you combine all sizes, there are 58 at present. Are you open all year? Yes, we are. Our hours change with the seasons and we do close for extended periods in July and December. To whom do you sell? We sell wholesale and retail, but we are primarily a wholesale operation selling to other greenhouses, landscapers, and independent garden centers. Retail customers are welcome; however, we are a self-service operation. Many of our customers view shopping at Mary s as an adventure. Wear your walking shoes, bring some water, and stay awhile. What is the difference between annuals and perennials? Annuals have to be planted every year. One of the benefits of annuals is their show of colors through the spring or summer. Examples are begonias, marigolds, and petunias. Perennials are plants that come back every year but don t normally bloom as long as annuals. Perennial gardens are very popular today, but some of the best gardens combine both annuals and perennials to get the benefits of both. What is a biennial? Generally a biennial takes 2 years to go through its life cycle. Plants usually grow leaves the first year and bloom and produce seed the next (many of the ones we grow are treated as perennials). Sweet William (Dianthus barbatus) is an example.

6 Useful Information 5 What is a native plant? This question has been debated by gardeners for years and there are different schools of thought. To us at Mary s, a native is a plant that was already here in mainland America when the first Europeans arrived. We tend to be conservative as to whether a plant is still considered a native if the genetics have been tampered with, for instance, as in hybrids. In our catalog, we try to denote a plant as native if it is the species or it is a selection/cultivar of the species. When is it safe to plant in the spring? We wish we knew! Generally, it is safe to plant after any danger of frost for most annuals and garden vegetables like tomatoes and peppers. Depending upon whom you ask, frost free dates here in Middle Tennessee range from mid-april to mid-may. Don t be fooled by early warm temperatures we can still have a killing frost. The first of May is usually safe for tender plants. For perennials, they usually can be planted as early as March if they have adjusted to the outside temperatures. If you want to get a jump start on spring and plant early, be prepared to cover your plants with some type of insulating cloth. Be careful with plastic as it will freeze the plants wherever it touches.

18 Cultural Information 17 Update on Downy Mildew of Impatiens Downy mildew of impatiens continues to be a problem throughout the US. The confirmed cases were down in spring 2013; nevertheless, the disease does continue to threaten Impatiens walleriana in the landscape. There is also evidence that Impatiens balsamina (Touch-me-not) is also affected by the disease, so there is another carrier in the landscape with which to contend. Therefore, we have decided to keep our production for all double impatiens and seedling impatiens varieties at the reduced levels we did in Downy mildew causes the plants to defoliate rapidly. It can spread quickly in wet and cloudy weather and the spores can overwinter in the landscape. A regular spray regimen is best to ensure a healthy crop but is difficult to maintain after the plants are in the landscape. We are still advocating the use of other plants such as Sunpatiens, New Guinea impatiens, begonias, caladiums, coleus, torenia and annual vinca (in partial sun areas) in place of impatiens. To find out more, ask for our downy mildew information sheet or go to our website, An Old Trick to Control Spider Mites Spider mites can be very difficult to control, especially on tropical plants with dense foliage. Here s an easy and inexpensive method to keep the spider mites under control using only a water hose. Blast the foliage of plants that the mites like once or twice a week with a fairly strong stream of water. Spray the plants from 2 or 3 different angles so as to hit all the foliage. While it may not eradicate the problem, it knocks the mites off and will keep the population below damaging levels. It is quick and easy to do while watering and is a great way to deal with the problem without needing pesticides. Do this on sunny days so the foliage can dry before dark to avoid causing foliage problems.
