Bingo Lloyd. A huge number of members buy from the "Big 2" and I'am sure
are excited when the order arrives. Without proper knowledge about what
to do for their area, they are downbeat when they rot and die. They look
to the National Publication and find nothing, then there are many local
societies who are no help at all. Then AIS comes along and raises the
membership and that's the final straw. I know the prices are less than
alot of other plant societies, BUT, they offer more.
