Chick, sometimes people seek the cheapest source because it is all they can
afford. Sometimes it is all they want to afford.
I am thinking that name brands are something that you can depend on. For
instance if I buy a plant from Mary I know it will be a good one because she
has done all the growing and observing to make sure that she is putting
something out there that people will not be disappointed in.
The person that I buy most of my hostas from does not sell things that he
finds to not be hardy. If I buy a plant from him that is not a hardy grower
he informs me so I will know what I am getting. I appreciate his honesty and
his concern for my money. Sometimes he just gives me a plant that I am
interested in that has been a known failure. Usually they die for me too,
sad to say. But I love a challenge.

it.
Chick, I think you would be a good person for the job, if we should ever
reach that point. N.
