ANTIRRHINUM

Scrophulariaceae Snapdragon Perennial, though usually treated as an annual. For bedding purposes sow seeds 3 months before sales date. Varieties for cut flower use: plant out 6 - 7 weeks after sowing: 10 x 10 cm: 1 stem. Bed out on 25 x 25 cm. Cut back to 15 - 20 cm in height to induce production of several stems. This may delay flowering by 10 days. Keep plants moist but not wet. Do not overfeed. Sensitive to salt. Feed with low concentrations. Grow on in well-ventilated and bright conditions. Light is required.

Lion King Orange

BEDDING PLANT/LOW ’F1 Lion King’ 15 - 20 cm, Lion King is very early flowering on compact, strong branching plants. Due to this branching habit it stretches less than other dwarf Antirrhinums. Therefore this new Lion King series is much appreciated by growers for pack and pot production. The bloom time across the colour range is extremely uniform. Free flowering Lion King shows an excellent garden performance until late in the season.

Therefore it is necessary to change fields yearly or to disinfect the soil. Avoid excessive water and an impervious soil! Gather cut flowers outdoors from June till October. It is possible to sow outdoors (70 g/100 m²). If sown in plugs, bed out at 32 plants/m². Culture throughout the year is possible in glasshouse at temperatures of 14 - 16 °C.

DELPHINIUM Ranunculaceae

Strong perennial for pots and borders, suitable for cut flower production. Early spring sowings will produce late summer flowering the first year. Autumn sowings and overwintering in greenhouse at low temperatures will result in sturdier habit. For glasshouse cut flower production, use annuals or biennials. Dependent on the temperatures these plants can produce flowers up to three times a year. Gather when 1/3 of the flowers are open.

’Single Gold’ The production of Tagetes erecta is a very efficient nematicide. For this purpose, sow directly into the field (1 - 2 cm deep) at the end of May through June at a rate of 7,5 kg/ha (late sowings: 10 kg/ha). Crops benefit from regular feeding and watering. For optimum results leave plants in the field as long as possible. Consider that older plants develop woody stems, which are hard to process.

SALES AND INVOICING CONDITIONS 1. General Condition All customer orders and deliveries are subject to the present sales conditions, and shall take precedence over any conflicting customer purchase conditions. 2. Orders 1. To avoid any error as far as possible, we urge you to provide a clear specification using the designations and numbers in our price list and on our order forms. 2. In the event that an order is wholly or partly cancelled by a customer, a fixed payment of 20% of the value of the cancelled order shall be due in compensation, apart from any expenses and costs which have already been incurred for the order in question. 3. Prices 1. The prices given in our price list and on our order forms are not binding, and apply only to professional customers. Any subsequent price adjustments shall automatically cancel earlier lists. 2. All prices are quoted in £ or euro, excluding VAT (seeds 6%, seedlings 6%, cuttings 6%) and excluding licence fees (cuttings). VAT will be added at the current rate. 3. Seeds are calculated according to the scale given in the price list. For these purposes the prices are applicable from the stated quantity upwards. This is in all cases for the purchase of the same variety or selection. 4. Delivery 1. From the warehouse, at the customer’s risk at all times. 2. We shall not be liable to pay compensation if we are unable to deliver due to force majeure or a poor harvest. 3. An overrun of the delivery deadline up to and including a period of 6 weeks shall not give the purchaser the right to the suspension or dissolution of the agreement, or to compensation or interest. 4. Should the delivery time be exceeded by more than 6 weeks, the customer shall be exclusively entitled to terminate the contract (wholly or in part) by notifying Rudy Raes Bloemzaden nv in writing within 7 days. Rudy Raes Bloemzaden nv may also rescind the contract itself (wholly or in part) if the delay is due to circumstances outside its control. In this event no compensation shall be due from Rudy Raes Bloemzaden nv. 5. The minimum order size for seeds is £ 18 or 25 euro (excluding VAT), with a minimum of £ 2 or 3 euro per product. An exception shall be made for backorders. 6. The minimum order size quoted on the order form shall apply to planting material. 7. Reservation of title: as long as the goods delivered have not been paid for they shall remain the property of the seller who may reclaim them in the event that no payment has been received. 8. Delivery on trolleys: we have the right to charge the customer for the hire of trolley etc. from 8 days after delivery if these are not returned on time. The hire prices are: £ 0.39 or 0.60 euro per trolley per day, £ 0.04 or 0.07 euro per shelf and £ 0.01 or 0.02 euro per extension, plus transport costs. 5. Dispatching 1. We charge transport costs as mentioned on the current order forms. 2. Please indicate your full address clearly with each order; seed orders are almost always sent by post. 3. In the event of a failure to take delivery the risk shall pass to the purchaser. 6. Payment 1. Payment shall be due within 30 days of the invoice date unless otherwise explicitly agreed in writing. 2. In the event that an invoice remains unpaid after the due date we shall have the right to levy a charge of 1% per month without further notice, and compensation of 10% of the outstanding sum due with a minimum of £ 25. Additionally, all sums outstanding on other transactions shall immediately become due. 3. Clients shall pay on delivery or at the vendor’s registered offices, net and without discount. The acceptance of bills of exchange or other payment documents may never be invoked as a novation. 4. The costs of collecting invoices not paid on time shall be charged completely to the purchaser. 5. Should the purchaser contest part of the order, the purchaser shall remain liable on the due date for the sum about which there is no dispute. 6. Failure to comply with the payment deadline shall mean that all open orders may be cancelled.

7. Cultivation advice 1. The information and advice on cultivation provided in the catalogue has been compiled with the utmost care. Nevertheless we should point out that growers must apply this advice in accordance with their own knowledge and understanding. In the event of uncertainty, we advise that trials should first be carried out to establish the influence of local conditions. Rudy Raes Bloemzaden nv is not liable for the information provided in these publications. 2. Basic material from plant varieties that are protected by a plant breeder’s rights must not be used for propagation. Varieties thus protected are indicated by Rudy Raes Bloemzaden nv by an ® or «P». Offences shall give rise to a penalty charge for each additional plant. 8. Force majeure Force majeure is construed as meaning: any circumstance beyond the control of Rudy Raes Bloemzaden NV – even if at the time when the agreement was set up, it might have been anticipated – which temporarily or permanently impedes the performance by Rudy Raes Bloemzaden NV of the agreement, as well as – insofar as not already covered thereunder – crop failure, harvest of seed with transport problems, diseases in our own business or in that of a supplier, war, risk of war, civil war, terrorist attack, strike, occupation of the business, government measures, damage by fire, water, frost or storm, disruption to the supply of raw materials, water and energy in our own business or that of a supplier, and failure to deliver or late delivery by suppliers. Rudy Raes Bloemzaden NV will notify the purchaser as quickly as possible of any case of force majeure. 9. Complaints 1.

All complaints must be reported in writing and if such reports are not made within the stipulated time they shall be regarded as invalid and any responsibility on our part shall cease. 6. Complaints regarding invoicing must be reported in writing within 14 days after invoice date : failing this the invoices shall be considered as being accepted by the customer. 7. Under no circumstances will we indemnify losses greater than the price of the seed or plant material delivered. Any further responsibility is explicitly excluded. 8.

By placing an order, the purchaser declares its agreement to the above conditions. 11. Disputes and jurisdiction 1.
