Ah, now I understand. I hadn't ordered from Wayside because their
prices are so high. But sort of out of guilt that I gorge on their
catalog, I ordered two plants from them last year. They both came
dead. I planted them just to be sure, but they proved to be dead.
Wayside refunded my payment, but I was mystified as to why such an
apparently big nursery should risk its reputation by sending inferior
plants. But if they're a broker, one might well expect that plants
making two trips instead of one might give up the ghost before it
reaches the customer. How do they stay in business?
