Dear Ray and Judy:
Who are the major spuria growers in the country. I have a number of catalogs
with a small listing, usually of the same varieties, but Dave Niswonger is
the only one I know who has a major push in this area.
I had my first spuria, Helen Cooper, open this year and I was entranced.
Would like to add others.
