Crop 248 June 15 to 21 Issue of Flowering Shrub Farm Monthly All Picture Newsletters; January February March April May 1 to 15 May 16 to 31 June 1 to 7 June 8 to 14 June 15 to 21 June 22 to 30 July August September October November December The whole idea of my web site is for you to be able to examine what we have for sale before having to drive to the plant sale location at 40 Voorheesville Ave in Voorheesville, NY 12186. This issue is the third week of the Rose Sale. Click on the picture and it may open a larger version with more detail. Last edited 06/17/2011

Front of house on left with sign and less expensive roses (in smaller pots) for sale in back yard on right. Click the picture on the right and examine it closely. When there are lots of roses flowering it may be time to come to the plant sale (I will overwrite this picture frequently, look for a pink label with the date on it in the picture). Below are pictures of the individual varieties.

2. Sorry for the bad printing on the signs. My right hand shakes badly and I have no wrist on the right. The number on the green dot shows how many of this variety I have for sale in a seven gallon pot for $30 as of the date on the sign. I plan to have these signs professionally printed in the future. Each variety has its own crop number and a picture of the sign is saved using that number.

The number on the green dot shows how many were in stock as of that date.

If I get down to only one in stock I may opt to keep it so I can propagate more.

3. The plants in the background are those mentioned on the sign so any flowers you see will be of that variety too.

No green dot? Probably none available.

When testing a plant I try it out over winter pot in pot 7 gallon. Also 25 gallon size and I take cuttings to see how well they root. If they dont show much disease, are locally hardy and can be propagated I will start selling them in a couple years.

We only sell those in bloom or that have previously bloomed. So, I may have a bunch of plants and yet only have one or two for sale.

The flower will be shown held in my hand so you have an idea how big it is.

The sign will usually show; the crop number, variety name, type of plant, date introduced, zones hardy in and approximate size.

5. Subscribers will receive a list of plants blooming at the plant sale included in the email that has the link to this picture-newsletter. The pictures here include some of those plants and knowing the pot size you can determine the price. 45 gallon isn't usually sold. 25 gallon is $100, 15 gallon is $50, 7 gallon is $30.

12. Smart people buy plants in bloom and we at the flowering shrub farm are open only when plants that we grow are flowering.

Potential customers subscribe to my free picture-newsletter where they can see pictures of our plants growing in the fields or available at the plant sale.

Subscribers receive a list of the plants currently blooming and additional captions for these pictures in an email twice in May and four times in June (the rest of the year its once a month).

When they see something they like they come buy it. More on subscribing at the bottom of this page.
