Bellis & Cool Wave Pansies

The Bellis, or English Daisies are opening into cute little button-like flowers, the tiny petals making perfect little domes in shades of red, pink and white. These are often used to inter- plant in tulip and other bulb beds, but are also excellent anywhere in the garden, as well as in containers.

Cool Wave Pansies are the earliest to bloom in the Spring, and the blooms hold up well in rain and weather better than the large flowered types. These trailing pansies are the most vigorous and prostrate of any spreading pansy and make unique baskets, mixed combos, and great ground covers. There are also some beautiful 10", 12" and 12" side hole type hanging baskets of Cool Wave Pansies available for some great early frost tolerant color.

	Lots of Ever-Bearing and Summer-Bearing Raspberry varieties available!

Encore - Large, sweet, juicy, red berries. Nearly spineless canes.

	Blackberries

Blackberries

Blackberries offer excellent hardiness in the garden and produce sweet, dark berries that are large and firm. Black Satin, Chester, and Triple Crown are all thornless and extremely productive varieties. Blackberries are delightful whether eaten fresh, used in desserts, frozen or preserved. A new variety this season is Columbia Star, which offers beautiful conical shaped berries of uniform size that have a sweet flavor and a typical aroma with a hint of raspberry.


Black Currants

Currants

Currants are rich in flavor and full of vitamins. The Black variety produces large, black fruits with excellent tangy flavor, while the Pink Champagne variety has smaller sized, unique translucent, pink berries. The Red and White varieties would also add flair to dinner dishes and desserts.

Blueberries

When plantingBlueberryplants, it is best to plant two different varieties for better pollination and a bigger harvest. Most soils are alkaline (have a high pH), since Blueberries like acidic conditions, add lots of plain peatmoss or sprinkle granular sulphur over the growing area. Like all berries, add a balanced fertilizer at planting time.

Choose from Bluecrop, Duke, Northland and Reka, or grow some different varieties:

Chandler - producing the largest size berries, some said to reach cherry size!
Wild Blueberry - the low growing native variety, producing small sweet berries.

New this year are:

Pink Popcorn - said to produce high yields of deep pink to soft pink berries with a true blueberry aroma & flavor.
Sweetheart - claims to produce a heavy crop of sweet berries very early in the season (late May-June) and in mild areas a lighter second crop will develop later in the same year (August) being the first double cropping Blueberry!
Razz - a novelty variety originally developed in 1934, produces large crops of plump powder blueberries that have notes of raspberry flavor.
