Mail order searches for plants

I now understand how people collect information on plants to broaden
their knowledge, but what do you do to find a mail order business who is
selling 
that plant?

Could there be a easier way to find a nursery in your area who selling
that plant via the WWW?

I was thinking of testing the search engines and using the phrases:

"botanical name" AND nursery

or

"botanical name" +nursery
+"botanical name" +nursery

This way the search engine will look for the phrase of the botanical
name because it is in quotes and in addition, I asked for it to look for
the word 
nursery on the page.  By using the word nursery in lower case will
increase my hits but in upper case (Nursery) it will reduce my hits
+"botanical name" +Nursery
"botanical name" AND Nursery

Do not leave a space between "+" and the word


If I was going to search, I would use
+"botanical name" +Nursery
