Re: CAT: Cooley's Gardens 2005 Catalog

Ah, yes, but it won't be a "Gold Cup Selection".  Cooley's has a gimmick of
very high list prices, then offering a 50% discount to $100 (therefore $50) or
greater orders.  This effectively ensures $50 minimum orders, but unlisted
varieties are not subject to the discount, and second year intros "list" at
around $40.  Wait 'till next year.  If it isn't listed by then, it is probably
a lousy grower anyway.  See if Bay View or Rainbow Acres lists the one you
want.

  Matt, they probably sold out too many of those 2004 introductions so are
  keeping the rest for stock to multiply for next year.   Or they may not
have
  enough to warrant listing them for general sale this year However, often if
  you write or call a grower they will be willing and able to send you a
rhizome
  of the variety you want, even if it isn't listed in their catalog.  Worth a
  try.
