Subject: Future Hosta Market WAS Robyn's Nest Nursery dot com...
*************
For me ( I can hardly feel comfortablr in sugesting things to other growers)
The route to take , became obvious, a long time ago.  I started many years
ago devloping new plants that would be kept from the Tc labs for as long as
I can, and offered only by me, and a few others.  I have used my best
skills, to be sure , these plants are as good as one can buy and am
constantly upgrading my offerings.  I am , I hope, slowly placing myself in
a niche, where I don't have so much compition.
Thanks
Ran
