Beefstake Tomato

Lycopersicon lycopersicum

"The Tomato Pole Beefsteak, `Lycopersicon lycopersicum,' produces huge tomatoes that can reach two pounds each. This is an old favorite for those who love meaty, thick, tasty and large tomatoes for sandwiches. The fruits are also useful in almost any dish that benefits from a rich tomato flavor. Wire cages are recommended to hold of the vigorous vines and large fruits. They require at least one inch of water weekly, and should be soaked to a depth of six to ten inches when watering. This variety requires at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. These plants should be pruned in order to keep a single stem."

Spectrum Ann Begonia

Spectrum Ann Begonia

Begonia Spectrum Ann plants, `Begonia x hybrida,' are wonderfully flowering plants that grow well in the garden as well as patio containers.  This variety is a cross between the winter flowering and tuberous summer flowering varieties of Begonia.  Spectrum Ann Begonias are distinguished by their large, flowers that are double and a light salmon pink in color.  More that a half day of sunlight will cause the plants to dry out, as too much shade will cause the plants to become soft and less showy in bloom. 

 




Silver Brocade

Silver Brocade

The Artemisia Silver Brocade, `Artemisia stelleriana,' is a compact, silver-white perennial plant with a height of fifteen inches and a spread of over two feet.  This wooly plant produces yellow flowers in early summer that are not very showy.  This plant prefers sandy soil but does need a well drained location with full sunlight and a small amount of afternoon shade.  This plant can be paired with Echinacea Purple Coneflower or Rudbeckia Black Eyed Susan to add interest to any garden or accent fresh or dried flower arrangements. 

 


 

Mars Grape

Mars Grape

The Mars Grape (Blue-Purple), `Vitas labrusca Mars,' produces seedless, medium sized grapes that are perfect to serve fresh on the table, as well as in making jams and jellies.  It is very similar in character to the Concord grape.  This is the most disease resistant variety of grape that we carry, and the fruits will ripen in mid to late August.  Grape vines can also be grown as ornamentals or screens in the landscape.
