In the horticulture business, in general, it
happens far too often. Unfortunatly , it is the result of ignorance at
all levels. For example, I have ordered red maples from a "good" source,
and recieved Crimson Kings. I doubt that many do this kind of thing
intentionally, but the results are bad anyway. Until the public "wakes
up" and makes some demands for correctness in representation, it will be the
same sloppy procedures as usual. As is true in so many other areas , the
real driving force is a well educated consumer.

Ran, does this happen often
from growers? I have had similar experience
and always have blamed the
retailer?
