Sourcing plants and restrictions

Special Service to Indoor Gardeners:

If you don’t see the plant you want on my list, write to me (enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope) and I will try to find a source for you.

You’ll find that having a policy of NO CREDIT TO INDIVIDUAL BUYERS will be best for you. However, wholesale firms do not normally send money or checks with their orders. They expect to be billed for their merchandise, paying for it usually by the tenth of the month following receipt of plants.

Postage is a big overhead in mail-order business. As you noted on my sample price list, I specified extra postage charges for many types of orders, and I charge another 25 cents if special handling is requested.

Restrictions-Quarantines

A few states have mailing restrictions on plants, as well as requirements for plant inspection. In Minnesota, such inspection is not required on greenhouse-grown ornamentals. You can obtain the regulations of your particular state by writing to the Department of Agriculture at the state capital. Do not forget this chore or even postpone it. You can cause yourself untold grief if you violate plant quarantine laws in your state and in the states to which you ship plants. A listing of all state regulatory offices is given in the Appendix for your convenience.
