FROM THE GROWER 
It goes without saying that the freshest and healthiest 
plants are most likely to be had directly from the grower.

land more than 60 years and expect to stay for another 
60); and he has a reputation to uphold. Therefore, to buy 
from him is your assurance of complete satisfaction. You
