Hi Ran,

Those are interesting observations. I have bought some hostas there that
I feel are legitimate but then I have seen some really questionable ones
there also. I once asked a clerk if they guaranteed that what they sold
was what they say it is? The clerk paused and said she had never been
asked that question before <G>. She talked to her boss and then told me
that they didn't do that. Although on the back of their cash register
reciept it says if we are for any reason disatified with something
bought there take it back and they will make it good in one way or
another (I have paraphrased) . I have been with someone buying a shrub
from them and we were told that there was a year guarantee on the plant
for it to grow. hmmmm....

Well I still won't take a chance on something that I have trouble seeing
the "real thing" .

TTYL,
Dale
