Hi!

Not surprising I guess, about Hortus. In Riverside we don't have any "high 
end" nurseries but those that are here suffer from Home Depot, K-Mart, 
Target, etc. In fairness I have to say that Home Depot here carries quality 
material, sometimes out of season and with a poor variety for selection, but 
as good as many of the better nurseries. Their personnel, howvever, are 
poorly trained and offer as much mis-information as good information to the 
inexperienced buyer of nursery stock.

The independent nurseries we have seem to manage even with the competition.

Hortus going out is a bad sign, though.
