Features
Bring on Spring | By Chris Beytes, Ellen Wells and Jennifer Zurko
There may not be as many packs, but Spring Trials still has as much punch when it comes to catering to growers.

Trip Report: Island Time | Jennifer Zurko
During the height of spring shipping, we traveled Long Island with Ball sales rep Jerry Mahoney to see how this year’s growing season was treating the local growers and retailers.



Culture Notes
The Appeal of Abutilon | Laurence Pallez
The appeal of Abutilon hybridum lies in its dual use as an outdoor container or year-round indoor flowering houseplant.

The Three Ps of Poinsettias | Dr. P. Allen Hammer
We’ve asked expert P. Allen Hammer to pen a six-part series on poinsettia production that takes you from initial planning to the final steps before shipping. He explains why it’s important to follow the proper steps during the propagation, potting and pinching stages in Part 2 of our series.



Columns
Doing Things On Time | Dr. P. Allen Hammer
We can all come up with many reasons for being behind on our To Do list, but there are a number of greenhouse production operations that should never be delayed.

Introducing Jennifer Zurko—Associate Editor

Pest Management

Pretty much every bug you hate comes out during the hot weather and tends to stick around in the fall, especially if you move plants back inside when it starts getting cool.
Growers Talk Business

Would any of us want to go back to the old way of doing things? Yes, we’ve been spoiled a little bit by the “wheels of progress” … and we like it!
Acres & Acres

She's shown up. She's got the money. Now all she needs is some encouragement.
