Re: Wish List ( and questions)

Have to tryed Pickering Nurseries in Pickering Onterio?  I don't have my 
catalog at hand, but you could probably get their number through 
information.  If not let me know and I will email it to you from home.  I 
know they have Sally Holmes, Alba Semi-Plena and I think they have some 
of the others.
