Dear valued customer,

With this brochure „Novelties Flower Seeds 2015“ we inform you about the latest novelties for
the coming season in the segment of Flower seeds. We added for you not just additional colors to
existing series such as the new colour Begonia ‘BIG’ Rose with green foliage, but also brand new
developments like the first seed raised Euphorbia graminea ‘Glitz’.

The main catalogue „Flower Seeds 2014/16“ is still valid. A few varieties had to be dropped from
the assortment because the breeder cannot supply anymore. At the last page of the price list
Flower Seeds 2015 you will find an overview of all droppings and novelties 2015. Further we
want to draw your attention on the fact that we reduced the minimum quantity for many articles,
especially varieties suitable for the city market. In order to enable the lanscape architects and
plant producers to choose a wider range of colors, even if the quantity per colour is low, we
decided to offer smaller package sizes if required.

Graines Voltz is offering the widest and most interesting assortment in flower seeds. You will find
an answer to every individual demand and for every market.

Our customer service as well as our sales team is ready and prepared to support you and to
answer all your questions. Please do not hesitate to contact us.

Wishing you success,

Your Graines Voltz Team
