"The new program at the (UGA) consists of plant evaluation and new crop introduction. The definition of “new crop” used in the program is taxa that are new to the floriculture/landscape industry. New introductions are first evaluated in the for ease of propagation and placed in the trial gardens the subsequent spring. In the past, commercial growers were allowed to gather cuttings of new material and sell them under the names given to the new plant. The market determined the success or failure of the plant. Examples of successful plants which resulted from this “Open Grower” concept included ' ‘Homestead Purple’, ' ‘Margarita’, and new selections of ' ('). No charge for cuttings was applied and no funding returned to the department. However, an excellent working relationship between the department and industry developed."
