Re: sales

The local WalMart and Kmart never seems to discount shop worn plants. Home
Depot doesn't either except for their orchids. When the blooming is over,
they are marked down 50%. I purchased three nice lady's slipper orchids that
way.

There is a small nursery a few miles from here that closes for the season at
the end of June. Two weeks before closing everything goes on sale at 50 to
75% off. The last week is a make an offer sale. I bought a nice 2 gallon
Rose 'Knock Out' for $2.50 and a one gallon Campanula 'Blue Waterfall' for
75 cents.
