Re: Question for mail order folks

Re: > $20
If the choice were between the 2 of you (and I didn't know you) I would buy 
from you because I would know it was IL grown.
It is probably true also that I
would be unlikely to buy a plant in that price range mailorder
First thing in response to this is that, just becuase the seller is in IL, it doesn't mean the plant is IL grown. As to not paying $20 for a mailorder plant, again this is relative. $20 for a mailorder Echinacea Meadowbrite that you might get locally for $10 is admittedly not prudent. However, when it comes to certain plants, for example Fernleaf Peony, you might spend $50-75 locally (IF - big IF - you could find it) or mailorder it at the bargain price of $35.
