Greenfield Plant Lists
Surprises Await You!
2008 Catalog
Again this year, we have available at both locations a culture catalog of the varieties/cultivars that we will be carrying for the 2008 season. Plants become available at different times throughout the season so you should check on availability. This catalog will be complementary while supplies last to anyone with a purchase over $100.00; otherwise the cost is $2.50.
Please note: Our catalog was up-to-date at the time of printing. Due to circumstances beyond our control, some items may not be available. On the other hand, just because it's not on the list doesn't mean we don't have it! Our inventory changes throughout the season, so please call us to be sure we have what you're looking for.
