Re: Mail order nurseries -Reply -Reply

I agree, and called them (Mileagers) back
specifically to tell them "I don't like it."  I order from
them every year and probably will not for now -- to
make my point if nothing else.  Their stock is quite
spendy, even for the size, but the catalogue was
worth its weight in gold for cultural information.  And
I cannot stress enough either -- nothing will take the
place of curling up with a catalogue in the winter
with tea (in part because I work with computers all
day).

I'll have to try clicking on the pictures -- didn't really
think about it.

the flowers come together to praise the Lord and
teach all who look upon them to do likewise.

Hello Susan,
	Wow! Somebody sure sold them a bill of
goods. To go web site only at this
point in time is to invite a year of little or no
business. Then the
recover time and trying to regain your old
customers. That is truly sad .
Web sites are not the be-all of the here-and-now as
they are advertised.
Just another tool to reach customers. 
	Incidentally... were the small photos clickable
to increase size? Hard to
believe they would be set up to remain that size.
