Re: sales

Fran,
    There is a HD not far from my garden center whose garden dept is run by
a friend of mine. She is very concerned about her stock and does a great job
of keeoing things in order. And that is the exception. There had been some
rumors that HD was not going to pay their suppliers for their plants unless
the SKU was run through the registrers. So I guess if a rack of plants went
unwaterd by some inconsiderate employee, that grower did not get paid. I can
not imagine that the plant suppliers would agree to that, but I guess if you
are lucky enough to get an HD plant contract, maybe the loss is small
compared to the gain. The HD in my area at least gets a lot of their nursery
stock from Hines NUrsery out of CA and OR. That is a big national grower.
