 favorite smaller nurseries for those of us who visit the area several times a
 year? >>

All the suggestions so far have been some of the best in the New England area.
Two more are Joe Pye Weed's Garden in Carlisle, a siberian iris breeding and
display garden.  And, Twombly Nursery, the finest tree and shrub supplier in
the northeast.  Twombly is located in Monroe, Connecticut.

There is a very fine clematis nursery on Cape Cod, I cannot remember the town
but a search will find it.  The clematis nursery has a web page. I think it
was discussed here a while back.

The daylily field is Seawright Nursery in Carlisle, MA.   Seawright,
Blanchette and Joe Pye Weed are all a few miles from each other.  Seawright
has a large hosta display garden with rock and water features.  Not too far
from all are the annual test gardens of the Mass. Hort. Society.  In the same
area is a large shady wildflower garden, The Garden in the Woods (Framingham,
Mass.).  The Garden in the Woods has a spring plant sale and ongoing sale of
native (mostly shade) plants.

Blanchette, previously praised here, is also the "astilbe king" of the the
country.  They have every kind written of recently.  I agree with the previous
writers that this is a true pleasure to visit.

All of these nurseries have primarily cold zone plants.
