Buyer Beware - Can O' Worms
James Waddick (Thu, 11 Sep 2003 07:03:38 PDT)

Dear all;
I didn't really mean to open up a replay of 'horror shows',
but to relate a recent example.
New growers especially need to be aware of unscrupulous
business practices of many mass marketers. Buy bulbs from dedicated
specialty growers. Observe your plants at bloom to verify their ID.
Don't be taken in by claims.

Most important don't let low prices equal bargains. You buy
what you pay for. I especially hate the color enhancements in
catalogs on bulb packages.

Best Jim W.
