Re: CAT: Lone Star Iris Gardens
From: Denise Stewart <stewartd@proaxis.com>
Do you have the address and how much for the catalogue Bill? I think that
sounds like a wonderful place. I do not order from Schreiners even tho it
is a stones throw away, I order from Cooleys if I order from either for
with Cooleys if your order is 100.00 you pay 50.00 which is GOOD..
