Be Profitable.

Be profitable. That’s the goal of every business, right? But it’s tough to do! All of our costs continue to rise, yet we have to be profitable to stay alive in this business. Growing profits requires constant attention and commitment to detail. It’s vital to look at every aspect of our businesses each year and ask ourselves, “Is this adding value for our customer? Is this the best use of our valuable space?” It’s not easy to look critically at our systems and methods, especially in those areas that seem to be okay to us. Usually in these “okay” areas, the most improvement (and the simplest changes) can be made. We have made dramatic improvement in areas we thought were fine.

Here in our newest catalog, we’ve honed our product line so that we’re offering only the best and most profitable plants. These plants are quick to finish, have fewer production problems, and require less maintenance. Most importantly these are the plants that homeowners and landscapers are asking for. When the beautifully grown specimens you’ve produced are at the local garden center, everybody in the supply chain is smiling. Remember: better plants sell for better prices.

The Spring Meadow team is here to help you increase your profit on flowering shrubs. We will work with you to select the best plants for your climate and can recommend the fastest-turning varieties. We know what the customer is asking for. If you have a request for marketing support, photography, social media content, or just want to talk plants, give us a call.

Consider us your partners in profitability.

Keep Smiling,

• Availability: we grow at least two crops a year of nearly every variety to ensure you can get the plants that you and your customers want.

• Service: our dedicated account specialists have small territories so they can get to know you and your business, ensuring the best service and support for your team, from growers to marketing.

• Expertise: Every shrub sold in a Proven Winners® white pot has been extensively evaluated here. As the source, we can provide growing, sales, and marketing support. We have a range of resources and sell sheets to help train your staff and sell more plants.

WELCOME TO SPRING MEADOW NURSERY

ABOUT USSince our founding in 1981, Spring Meadow is committed to producing quality woody plant liners to help growers achieve maximum profitability. In 1999, we launched the ColorChoice® Shrubs brand, which introduced ‘Limelight’ hydrangea and Wine & Roses® weigela to North America. In 2004, we joined with Proven Winners® as the exclusive licensee to develop, introduce, and market shrubs under the Proven Winners® ColorChoice® brand.

5

Every potential introduction into the Proven Winners® ColorChoice® line is extensively trialed and tested. In addition to our own internal breeding program, we work with breeders around the world to find the very best in flowering

shrubs. Simply having consumer or retail appeal isn’t enough to merit introduction: each plant must pass a gauntlet of testing in propagation, production, retail/container presentation, and in the landscape. We trial here at Spring Meadow as well as through sites across North America. On average, it takes ten years under our auspices until a plant makes it into this catalog.

The Deppe family and everyone at Spring Meadow welcomes you to visit us in Grand Haven, Michigan, just a few miles from the shores of Lake Michigan. We’d be glad to give you a tour of our facilities and trial gardens any time of the year, though summer is the best season for the gardens. Grand Haven is a popular beach town with abundant boating, hiking, camping, and biking opportunities, so there’s plenty to do if your traveling companions don’t share your enthusiasm for greenhouses, watering booms, and nursery robotics. Please contact your account manager to set up a time to come by.

We ship by both dry and refrigerated trucks at 45° F (7.2° C) and can ship year-round.

SHIPPING

MAKE ORDERING EASYA few tips to ensure your complete satisfaction when ordering:

• CREATE A STANDING ORDERWe fill standing orders first, as we propagate specifically to meet our customers’ requests. You can adjust your order up until the Wednesday before it ships.

• ORDER EARLYOur new varieties are announced in our yearly catalog, which is published in late summer. By placing your order shortly after its receipt, you secure your share of the most promising and popular plants. This is also the ideal time to review your standing order.

• CONFIRMATION AND SHIPPINGYour account manager will call you two weeks before your order ships. This is a good time to make any last-minute adjustments to your order and to confirm contact information, delivery address, and any special instructions for the delivery driver.

Orders of seven trays or fewer (or of other items, such as pots or tags) are shipped via FedEx Ground in sturdy wax-free, recyclable cardboard boxes. Our goal is that your boxes arrive with crisp, clean edges on all sides.

SMALL ORDERS

For LTL shipments, flats are boxed individually, then stacked on a pallet, corner-stabilized, and wrapped with plastic film.

Whole-truck shipments are packed on specially built racks. These sturdy racks can be moved with a forklift or pallet jack.

PROVEN WINNERS® COLORCHOICE® W E D O T H E M A R K E T I N G S O Y O U D O N ’ T H A V E T O

Create demand at the consumer level: that’s the foundation of the Proven Winners® brand. When you sell any of the 250+ shrub varieties, you are tapping into a program that ensures sell-through with a customer base that is mobilized and ready to purchase. We work to build trust and recognition of the brand every day through social media content, print, online, and radio advertising, and a dedicated staff of professionals to provide support and answer questions from growers, retailers, and consumers alike.

We encourage you to take full advantage of our marketing efforts to increase your sales and train your staff. Contact your account specialist to see our print advertising schedule and social media links so you can see what we are up to and plan your production to match up with major campaigns.

Please also ask about other resources we have available, from our wildly popular Hydrangeas Demystified infographic to our cut flower grower’s database to our native plant spreadsheet. It’s our job to make your job easier, so you can focus on getting high quality finished plants into the marketplace.

Call your account manager to request our new marketing guide.

*Please note the unlicensed propagation of all parts of a patented plant and/or the unlicensed use of a trademark is a violation of Federal and State law. Plant tags required. This protects the plant breeders that develop these great plants. 11

Local isn’t just a buzzword any more – it has become a way of life for people from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon. At farmer’s markets and restaurants, local foods command a premium price, and the same goes for plants, too. Homeowners know that locally grown shrubs are better adapted to their climate, and they want to support business in their community, state, or province. Local Roots® is your opportunity to show that these plants were produced with these considerations in mind.

This exclusive program was created especially for our customers who grow and sell regionally. It is designed to give you the flexibility to create a flowering shrub and landscaping program specially tailored to fit your local market. There are over 200 non-branded varieties on the following pages to choose from, including super hardy plants like Mega Mindy® panicle hydrangea and warm climate classics like dwarf Burford holly. Specialty growers can take advantage of niche plants like edible ‘Chicago Hardy’ fig or flashy variegated Cat’s Eye™ kerria. Even landscape staples like ‘Smaragd’ arborvitae and ‘Gro-Lo’ sumac take on a new appeal.

TAGSSturdy and colorful, these plastic tags provide all the basics consumers need to know to make informed decisions for their landscape. They come with elastic hanging loops and are sold in bundles of 18 or 32 (depending on variety).

PROVEN WINNERS® F O R L A N D S C A P E S

The landscape market is a critical part of many growers’ businesses. Proven Winners® invests both time and money educating landscape professionals about our plants, and has tools available to help them make their landscaping businesses more profitable.

It all starts with good plants. While we’re confident in all of our introductions, some are especially good for commercial landscapes. We know that landscapers need durable, reliable plants that will perform well without a lot of care. Many landscapers are also looking for native plants to meet the demands of their clients. Proven Winners® uses a variety of avenues to let landscapers know about the new varieties that meet these needs. Some of the plants we will be promoting in 2016-2017 include:

• North Pole® Thuja

• Sugar Shack® Cephalanthus

• Yuki Cherry Blossom™ Deutzia

• Kodiak® Diervilla

• Double Play® Spiraea

• Spilled Wine® Weiglea

We also have a helpful chart showing when our varieties are in color throughout the year as well as an inspiring “Seasons of Interest” poster. If you’re a designer who would like copies, or a supplier who would like to hand them out to customers, please contact [email protected].

Deutzia

Pink Deutzia ‘Nikko’

It took ten years but we now have the first ever Nikko-type deutzia with pink flowers. That’s right,

pink flowers on a low-spreading deutzia. A shower of elegant pink flowers creates a carpet of color.

Great for mass plantings because of its neat, mounded habit and rich burgundy-purple fall color. *

These varieties represent some of the best flowering shrubs on the market. We know, because we select them through our own internal breeding program and through our relationships with breeders around the world. Before introduction, we trial and test each variety in production, growing, and landscape scenarios to ensure exceptional vigor and beauty. We close the loop by talking directly to consumers through social media and advertising to give them the confidence and knowledge they’ll need to be successful – it’s up to you to supply them!
