Re: [SG] Catalog Shipping Charges

Hello Jean,
        I can not find my Roslyn catalog in this pile ... or the others this
morning. I was going to take a look and compare prices before replying.
Best I can say is if it does not fit your budget and your are not
comfortable then let it go for this year. Few plants are a true exclusive
with any one nursery. If they are this year and it is a great plant chances
are it will not be for long. Patience and shopping always pay. I do the
same myself. I think real long and hard before ordering from anyone west of
the Rockies and then try to make it count if I do order.
        One thing I do watch closely is size of the plant for the money. Like
everyone else I want  blooming size plant if I can get it for my garden. I
gave up on Wayside due to size and quality of plants shipped for the
dollars sent to them. Their exclusives are usually found elsewhere if one
looks hard and watches for a bit.
        Good gardening to you
