Too bad Gurney's wasn't in the conglomerate. Gurney's was the
only place I got split rhizomes sealed in plastic baggies with no
airholes. They got two rhizomes out of one, splitting the fan and
rhizome down the middle. If WalMart and KMart got their stuff from
MB, we are 'home free' now. Somehow or another Park Seed and Wayside
have been left out. Are they that good?
