Warren * I called this to the attention of one of our Garden people who pursued the offer and after an active correspondence was told he would need to send a money order in advance. I just learned today that , unfortunately, after sending the money order, he has never heard back from Mr. Keller: no bulbs, no explanation and no response to monthly follow ups.
