Re: sales

One of our local nurseries had a 50% off sale...and it happened to be
the place where a couple of my friends had gotten me gift certificates
for my birthday. I got two beautiful variegated flowering dogwood shrubs
and 2 Eupatorium (Joe Pye Weed) "Chocolate" that are the most lovely
shade of reddish brown. For my husband's birthday yesterday, he chose a
Henry Lauder Walking stick tree that had been marked down more than
50%...it is a plant he has been wanting for a very long time and now
occupies a lovely showcase corner. Ooh, I love sales!!!!!!

The local WalMart and Kmart never seems to discount shop worn plants.
Home<br>Depot doesn't either except for their orchids. When the blooming
is over,<br>they are marked down 50%. I purchased three nice lady's
slipper orchids that<br>way.<br><br>There is a small nursery a few miles
from here that closes for the season at<br>the end of June. Two weeks
before closing everything goes on sale at 50 to<br>75% off. The last
week is a make an offer sale. I bought a nice 2 gallon<br>Rose 'Knock
Out' for $2.50 and a one gallon Campanula 'Blue Waterfall' for<br>75
cents.<br><br>Dan<br><br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From:
