Re: Re: CAT: Riverview, ID'ing unknowns

I have ordered from them, though not this year.  I think it was two years
ago, I ordered over a hundred names from them, and only a few weren't
included.  There were a few misidentified, and I never heard back from them
when I asked about those.   I never did get replacements.

Even so, overall I was happy with Riverview, and the plants were good
(generally small, but healthy, and I lost very few).

Like Linda, I ordered nearly all oldies, mostly pre-1940.  One thing that
is interesting is that their pricing actually goes up as the age of the
cultivar increases, so many of the really old ones are $10.00 each, while
the same may be only $4.00 or perhaps even only $1.00.  However, on the
flip side, many of the newer ones are really cheap.  Much of what Riverview
lists (particularly the old ones) seem to not or only rarely be listed
anywhere else in the US.
