BESTGARDEN LEADERS ARE THETHE BASIC IDEAThe Garden Leader concept was developedalmost twenty years ago. The whole idea wasto give growers and consumers varieties thathad been tested and proven to have the verybest outdoor performance.It may seem obvious, butthe best ideas, like GardenLeaders, always are.Just consider thegrilled cheese sandwich.CAUTION REQUIREDAn industry-wide problem developed which createdthe need for garden tested varieties. The causeof the problem is that breeders are too focused onhurrying new varieties to the market...Speed is thenirvana, instead of performance through gardentesting. That’s why growers need to be cautious.GROWER FRIENDLYAll growers must have good pack performance and all GardenLeader varieties are matchless in the pack. But most seed andvegetable varieties are only tested in greenhouse conditionsbefore they are introduced in the market and many are poorgarden performance. Thus Garden Leaders were both developedand needed by growers who believe that garden performanceis vital to satisfy their customers.Introduction 6

Consumers whobuy and grow Garden Leaders know them asoverachievers. Their matchless outdoor vigormakes them grow like they are on steroids.WHY GAMBLE?It’s your money… Why risk it on varieties that coulddisappoint your customers.Garden Leaders are the no risk jackpot because you can’tlose. They cost no more than standard commodity varietiesand cost much less than varieties with high royalties. Sure,any old variety will grow in any greenhouse and lookdecent in a pack but unless they are Garden Leaders youaren’t going to hit the jackpot on garden performance.SUCCESS STORYGarden Leaders have become a real success story. AllGarden Leader varieties are developed for vigor andease of growth. Garden Leader flower varieties producebigger, brighter blooms that flower longer.Garden Leader vegetable varieties have been selectedfor several vital basics including earliness, taste, and size.There is even a Garden Leader vegetable series selectedfor superior patio container performance.Introduction 7

G ARDENLEADERSPROVEN BEST IN OUTDOOR TRIALSSURVIVAL OF THE FITTESTIntroduction 12NATIONWIDE TRIALSFor twenty years Garden Leaders have been tested in fieldand garden conditions. Research has been conducted, atgreat expense, nationwide in every state and in every“real world” condition.Results of these tests, year after year, is the basis for selectingevery variety worthy of being called a Garden Leader.TESTING CRITERIAEvery Garden Leader variety must be good in the packand as early as any variety in its class. More importantly,however, every variety has been tested in different types ofsoil, dry and wet conditions, humidity (for disease resistance)and sun and shade conditions. Garden Leaders are testedagainst every major variety on the market and new varietiesbeing introduced. Garden Leaders must exceed in bothtransplantability and performance.Garden Leaders follow the Darwin rule of “survivability of the fittest”. Breeders have long knownthat all varieties in a class are not created equal. Many excellent varieties in the pack do well in thegreenhouse but fail in the outdoor conditions. This fact has been proven over and over. Poor gardenperformance is the reason why many consumers donot return to the same retailer to buy their plants.Garden Leaders are the dominant outdoor performersin every class of flowers and vegetables. GardenLeaders are the result of evolution and survivalbased on superior breeding and genetics.

EARNING THEIR SPURSGarden Leaders are trialed on a wide scale at universities, at producers andby Garden Leader Alliance partner breeders. The top priority of all of ourbreeders is garden performance.Garden Leaders are not rushed to the market before outdoor testing has beendone. Each Garden Leader must meet our minimum criteria. That is whya few genetic classes will never become Garden Leader unless new andimproved genetics can be found. The Garden Leader title must be earned.PASS WITH FLYING COLORSWhen home gardeners take home a Garden Leadertheir success is certain. Every Garden Leader varietyhas passed our tests. That is why our experiencedhorticulturalists assure “Home Gardenland Security”.The work has been done for you. Garden Leaders havebeen tested and approved for you. Garden Leaders areworthy of every growers exceptional confidence.TESTINGTESTINGTESTINGTRIALS FORCONTAINERS AND TASTEGarden Leader vegetable and herb varieties are tested fortaste as well as disease resistance and yield.

All of the workhas been done for you and the prices are extremely reasonable.In this case it doesn’t cost a lot to go first class.

They will also serveto excite customers on their way in and give them ideas onwhat to buy.RETAIL READY ADD ONSRetailers have many options to increase their sales by offeringpre-packaged products that customers should buy from you insteadof from somewhere else. For the most part these are impulse saleproducts so the sales are generally not planned. Here is a list ofproducts that should be included in this category: plant food, growingmedia, bulbs and bare root, seed packets, ceramic pots/containers,gardening tools, gloves, miniature plants for indoors and anything thatis related to gardening.GET ‘EM BACKYour objective should be to have your customers come back againand again, this year and next. Offer them superior quality and geneticslike Garden Leaders. All customers need to be given a positivebuying experience. And make sure that they have an “experience”that they remember and enjoy. Precipitate a return shopping trip bygiving them a coupon good on their next purchase because gardenersnever have enough plants.Retail Growers 35

wholesale growingGET YOUR PROFIT UP AGAINTHE BASIC PROBLEMSThe following problems apply to ninety percent of wholesale growers and their customers:• Your retail plant presentation has a lower “value image” to consumers.• Nearby discounters and garden center chains sell at a lower price.• Discounters often offer branded varieties with a higher value image.• Garden centers and mass merchants generally merchandise and display better.OPPORTUNITIIES FORMass merchants and garden center chains have weaknesses you can exploit:• Selection has gone from fair to poor due to scan based trading• Commodity varieties provide vanilla garden performance…well below consumer needs• Most varieties offered are generic “me too” commodities in red, white and blue• Even the branded selections are limited• In store plant quality and care is deteriorating due to service cutbacks• Plants are only “Traffic Builders” so the importance of product quality is the same as for Chinese toys.SOME SOLUTIONS ARE RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSEHelp is here now with Garden Leaders. They will answer many of your needs to turn your businessaround. Here is what some wholesale growers have said:“Garden Leaders are a brand line...not just an assortment of commodities so they appear to be worth more”“The Garden Leader Tasty and Monster vegetables are excellent consumer items...especially now”“There were no royalties or marketing fees so there was no extra cost”“I used the brand story on my customers and they liked it”“The guarantee makes a difference to my customers and helps sell through”“Garden Leaders allow me to present and deliver a complete program”“They have tags and labels for all the varieties both flowers and vegetables”“Garden Leaders let me get a little bit of a premium price”“I was reluctant to switch but they grow just as well if not better”“We can offer more selection with all the different plant sizes and options”“The merchandising materials make them sell out”Wholesale Growers 39
