Order Your Current Hosta/Iris Guide in the new CD format!

1. The 2006 Hosta/Iris Guide is a two-disc CD set. This is not a supplement to the Guide. This is the Guide in .PDF format that you will open with a free PDF Reader program. Once you have opened the file on your computer, it looks just like the book you're used to. Instead of the Guide being spiral bound, it's now a book on your computer screen and you can jump from page to page directly on the CD.

2. You'll enjoy the features that you've come to expect from Eureka now on these two CDs such as the Nursery Ordering Information Guide, the Annual Hosta and Iris Market Guides plus the beautiful Eureka color cultivar photography. Plus, these CDs have the Eureka Hosta and Iris Dictionaries with all of the cultivars ever registered including the official spelling of their registered names, hybridizers, years of registrations.

3. You will now view the entire Hosta/Iris Guide on your computer or you can print your own copy of the entire Guide or just the pages that you want to take with you into the garden. This flexibility makes the Guide much friendlier for everyone's use.

4. This two-disc set costs less than the printed Guide previously advertised. Your must confirm your pre-publication order and tell me if you want to still get the 2006 Eureka Hosta/Iris Guide (now on these two CDs) and receive a refund for your savings. Or, tell us to cancel your order and refund your entire payment. The new price for the two-disc CD set is $17.95 plus $2.25 S/H. (Domestic US S/H)

5. The 2006 Eureka Hosta/Iris Reference Guide double CD set is available for shipment NOW.

Why? You may ask why. Some people have asked, “Why are you not printing the Hosta/Iris Guide anymore?”

1. We are all increasingly moving to online and computer resources for our information. These CDs will merge well with this trend in computer usage among gardeners. The flexibility of the CDs means that Eureka readers can make more choices for themselves and view the Guide on their monitors or print their own copies. Plus, the CDs work well with the Eureka Website making it easier for cultivar collectors to order.

2. Printed color Guides are very expensive to print and require a large volume of buyers to distribute the production costs. The hosta and iris world of collectors and hybridizers combined is much smaller than that of the daylily world. The Daylily Guide has grown annually for 16 years and seems to have a bright future as a printed Guide because of the large numbers. We have subsidized the Hosta and Iris Guides for four years producing them like we have done the Daylily Guide. However, the volume sales have not been growing enough to pay for the printed Hosta/Iris Guide. It is easy to understand when you compare the size of the three plant societies. It's simple marketing math. We believe that the Eureka Hosta/Iris Reference Guide will grow along with the Hosta and Iris Societies over the next few years and we may once again produce a printed Guide for these markets. But we had a critical decision to make since our expenses have been so high.

3. When we talked with Eureka hosta and iris readers and nurseries, we explained that we might have to discontinue the Hosta/Iris Guide. They asked us to figure out a way to continue. The CDs do that.

Why do perennial collectors want all of the Eureka back issues that they can get?
The basic reason that gardeners want back Volumes of Eureka is that the information and photography are all new EACH year. The Guides are meant to be a "survey" or a "snapshot" of the daylily, hosta and iris markets for a given year. The cultivars listed change yearly as the nurseries respond to stock sales and increase as well as the changing tastes of the collecting public. Sometimes, people have found a plant they wanted for their collection to be no longer available and they only located it from a back issue of Eureka. Many collectors like to see trends in the cultivars they are tracking as investments and back issues of Eureka do that very well. Collectors are often inspired to add a plant to their collections because they first saw a photograph of it in Eureka. Order by email (bloom@GardenEureka.com), phone (828-236-2222) or fax (828-236-2226).

Eureka Reference Guides
The proven source for serious daylily, hosta and iris collectors around the world each year

The information is amazing and the color plates are the best you'll find each year.

Eureka Reference Guides are reflections of the plants in focus along with the hybridizers who create and register them and the collectors who's tastes, interests, and gardening trends drive the market.

Eureka presents a “survey” of the hosta, iris and daylily market so that you can make informed decisions about additions to your perennial collections. Between the clear information and the hundreds of color photographs, you will be delighted.

With Eureka Hosta/Iris, you have two Reference Guides presented in one book. Everyone wins, the cultivar collectors, the hybridizers, the plant societies and the nurseries. Here you have two Guides, Hosta and Iris, in one book. With our proven spiral binding, you simply flip the book over for another complete Eureka Reference Guide.

With this years Guides, we've finally reached a long-term goal of producing our Reference Guides with 50% color pages featuring the best and newest cultivar photography along with 50% black-and-white pages featuring both cultivar registration information as well as market data on the thousands of plants listed by the nurseries. There is also a new format which keeps the handbook character of the Guides while allowing larger color photos.

You'll also appreciate the new paper which gives the best and most accurate color match and makes those beautiful plant portraits even more stunning.

Like the thousands of long-time Eureka Reference Guide readers, once you have your own copy of the Hosta/Iris Guide you'll expect to add the new Guide to your collection of gardening reference works each year. We're building a tradition of daylily, hosta and iris registration and market data plus new, lavish color photography each Volume. Eureka features thousands of registered cultivars and their data plus price comparisons from nurseries across the United States. Remember, we promise to make each Guide better each year with all new color photography and completely new market data on the registered cultivars that you add to your collection.

You will find the new Eurekas to be a great resource when you place it alongside a particular nursery catalog that you're interested in. We have designed Eureka Reference Guides so that you may look at dozens upon dozens of nurseries at a glance as you compare the plant registration and market information from Eureka with garden catalogs you've received in the mail. The nurseries in Eureka are eager to ship your mail order and you'll find complete ordering and shipping information for all the listing nurseries in the Nursery and Advertiser Ordering and Information Guide.

Extremely helpful, the Eureka Web Site features each nurseries cultivar listings grouped together as garden catalogs. Once you've looked through the new Reference Guide and identified a couple of nurseries from which you'd like to order, open the Eureka Web Site and look at those nurseries' plants grouped together like a catalog listing. With Eureka Reference Guides, you can get it both ways.

As with all Eureka Reference Guides, you'll love our organization of information in this new Guide. Each hosta or iris listing is submitted by the nurseries and appears in the Annual Market Guide. These cultivars are listed along with critical registration information, average prices and the nurseries who offer the plants for sale. The cultivars that you see listed in Eureka are there because these are the plants that reflect the nurseries' and the collectors' interests and tastes -- this year.

You'll also love our balance of cultivar photography and hard facts about the plants you're considering investing in for your perennial collections. We realize that you base your decision to purchase a plant on many factors. Both clear information about the plants as well as hundreds of color photos of the hostas and irises flourishing in private and public collections help you make very informed decisions.

This online link is the perfect complement to your annual Eureka Reference Guides. Once you look through your Guides and want to learn more about a nursery and what other plants the nursery has, then look here on our Eureka Internet Guide to Daylilies, Hostas, and Irises. You'll see the plants sold by that nursery listed in a garden-catalog style layout with direct email links to the nursery.

Remember to order your new Eureka Reference Guides so that you can get ALL of the daylily, hosta and iris information and photography.
