Last season I bought some in spray form.  If I remember correctly I
ordered it from one of those postcards that come in a pack with
different products for sale by mailorder.  The spray cans are 6oz.  The
brand name is DYNOGEN - SUPER PLANT SPRAY.  The company name on the can
is Shartel Marketing Inc.  Albertson, NY 11507.  That's all the info it
has on it.
I think it cost about $10-12 for 2 cans.  On the back it says it is a
blend of Gibberellic Acid and the active ingredient is Potassium
Gibberelate .005%.   Hope this helps.
