he following are the new introductions for 2007. These are the result of our
hybridizing for the period 1990 through 1999. These plants will be available
starting this year in a limited number. As with other introductions, Telmarc
Gardens does hybridizing and is not a volume grower. We again this year are
moving these also to our New Hampshire location which is Zone 4 where they seem
to grow very aggressively.

Florham
Peppermint Stick (2N) This is a slightly ruffled flower with a clear set of red striping on a pink
background. The petals have a stronger mix than the sepals. The throat is a
bright green-gold. It is a very good grower and lends a color complexity to any
garden.

USS
A. W. Grant (also DD
649) (2N) This unique flower is named after my father's ship, the USS Albert W. Grant,
DD-649, in World War II and is
dedicated to the men who served on her. This is especially dedicated to the men
who were lost in the Battle of Surigao Strait in which the ship was successful
in sinking a Japanese Battleship on October 25, 1944 and saving many American
Lives. The burst of color is a reminder of the strength of the ship and her men.

Red Lantern (4N) A dainty purple red slightly recurved flower with a white rib down the middle
of the petals. Slight ruffling on the petals as well. The color is a strong
color which holds up during hot bright summer days.

Florham Peaches and Cream (4N) This is a very aggressive growing flower with a beautiful pink color. It
reproduces very well and can be used as a very attractive border flower. It is
especially attractive with its many flowers and grows in tightly packed clumps.
We have been dividing aggressively and they seem to have responded very well to
the dividing.

Thank
You Sue (4N) The throat color on this reddish flower is very striking. It appears to burst
forth from the center of the flower and stands out very strongly when in bloom.
The flower grows very well in New Jersey.
