WHERE TO BUY MINIATURE PLANTS AND SUPPLIES
Nothing is as frustrating to a gardener as to hear or read glowing descriptions of plants that appeal to him and then be unable to find them in catalogues or elsewhere. For the unusual and out-of-the-ordinary plants the answer is quite often a mail-order supplier. For some general types such as water lilies and woodland or rockery plants, the most fruitful source is the specialist, who quite naturally has the widest selection and the greatest knowledge of the plants he grows the most. We have increased our collection of miniature plants by mail order from many (but not all) of the following. While I have not bought from all of them, enough of my friends and colleagues have so that I am rather familiar with all. In writing for catalogues of any sort, remember they are expensive to produce and often you are asked to pay a nominal fee for them. I usually get so much information I am happy to pay a few cents. You can often save time and trouble by asking if there is such a fee.
