I have trialed plants from most of the mail order nurseries in the last 7
years, and I order seeds and plants under my husband's name from all of the
major sources.  These shipments tell me if the order is handled promptly, if
plants are packed correctly and if the nursery stock is of good quality.  I
make it a point to visit the retail outlets of mail order nurseries, too,
when I'm in their area.  By doing this, I've compiled a list of sources I
trust for most everything.
