3 The Collector s Catalog Every few years, Disney has a policy of re-releasing some of their best films- the classics... Terra Nova has some classics too! In this, our first collector s catalog, we are not only rereleasing some of our best, most asked-for classics, but also some of our rarest varieties in limited quantities only. Terra Nova does not throw away our older varieties; we restart them, keep them fresh, and grow them in stock-blocks in our field. Here we can see that the plants are still vigorous and carry the same characteristics as the original plants. We are delighted to offer our customers some plants that are hot off the griddle, like Geum Eos and Begonia Silver Splendor, as well as garden-worthy plants from the recent past. Order soon, as some plants have limited quantities and short windows for these rare opportunities. As we venture in this new direction with our collector catalog we ll continue to add to the assortment. What you see in this brochure is just the tip of the iceberg! Visit for expanded cultural information, and for a complete list of our collector plants.
