Wayside

>>Hi, Shadegardeners--
>>
>>I'll add my two cents to the Wayside discussion, if that's OK.  I have
>>ordered from Wayside for almost 20 years, and I try to order just enough to
>>stay on their mailing list.  The catalog itself is an invaluable tool for
>>the novice gardener.  I still enjoy reading it and especially looking at the
>>pictures.  However, one learns what to buy and what not to buy there.  For
>>example, never buy a daylily from Wayside (other than Arthur Kroll's MARDI
>>GRAS PARADE, which cannot be bought anywhere else yet).  Virtually all of
>>them are older than they say and far more expensive than they should be.
>>Most perennials can be bought locally, where one can get a much larger plant
>>for less.
>>
>>However, I still think Wayside is a good source for roses, bulbs, and other
>>odds and ends.  We have two huge dawn redwoods on our property that
>>originally came from Wayside, in addition to two weeping crab apple trees.
>>As someone already pointed out, half the stuff doesn't live, but they always
>>cheerfully refund your money!
