Gardeners are looking for new plants every year. Here are new flowers and
vegetables that will be featured in 2008 mail order seed catalogs, seed packets or as
bedding plants at garden centers. The varieties are listed alphabetically
by class, with the seed source listed in parentheses after the
description. The designation "R" means a retail seed company from which
gardeners may purchase seed directly by mail order or also in stores that
carry the variety in seed packets. A "W" designation indicates a wholesale
seed company which does not sell directly to home gardeners, but these
varieties should be available in catalogs or as bedding plants at garden
centers next spring. Information on seed companies may be found on the NGB
website
