Re: was: Peony question now: Andersen source list

i think that's a fair assumption about going out of date, jim. betrock's, a florida publisher, published a weekly magazine called "plantfinder" with wholesale sources and prices for the retail nursery/landscape trade. and after using it daily for 5 years now, the only way it seems to go out of date is that it gets bigger each issue as more and more growers list more and different plants. prices haven't changed much, if at all, in 5 years, either. plants are still a bargain.

BTW, as to sources, does anyone in the group have that source book out of
(I think) Minnesota?  I think it's 'Anderson Arboretum' or something like
that.  It's updated every few years.  It's too pricey for me for a
reference that relatively quickly goes out of date, but it would be on the
essentials list for an organization like AHS.

Yup, I gottit. It's "Source List of Plants & Seeds", edited by
Richard T. Isaacson, published by the Andersen Horticultural Library
of the Univ. of Minnesota. Mine is the 5th Edition, dated 2000.
I would say such things, like the RHS' Plantfinder, only slowly go
out of date, as places which carried a plant two years ago are likely
to have it still, or be able to tell one where it can be had.
