OUR PLANTS
Most of the plants we grow are propagated vegetatively or by seeds from parent plants here at the nursery and elsewhere. All plants are grown in containers in a potting mix composed of bark, sand, and peat or in a greenhouse mix of peat, perlite, and vermiculite. They are fed with a slow-release fertilizer to encourage normal, healthy growth. We mulch the containers to reduce the need for watering and to prevent weeds. We do not use herbicides at this time; we weed by hand.

VISITING THE NURSERY
We love company and encourage you to stop by and browse through the nursery or wander the gardens (see inside back cover for directions to Environmentals). We don't require advance notice, except during the months of March and April, when our schedule is very tight. If you want to visit during this busy time, please call in advance.

PRICING
We are strictly a wholesale nursery. We will not undersell our competition or our customers. All prices on our price list are for wholesale-quantity purchases—5 or more of any one species or cultivar. Please add 10% to the price when ordering fewer than 5 of a single species or cultivar.
Prices for some plants are set on a sliding scale. As an example, a plant may be listed at a price of between $8.00 and $9.00. The spring crop may sell at $8.50, then increase in price during the summer to $9.00. If we sell out of the spring crop, we may then begin to offer a younger crop, which would sell at $8.00. We believe this sliding scale is fair both to our customers and to us.


GUARANTEE
We guarantee all the plants we grow to be healthy and, to the best of our knowledge, true to name. If you are ever unhappy with a plant at the time of delivery, you are always welcome to return it to us.

PAYMENT
Payment is required for all orders upon delivery or pickup, unless credit has been previously established. A credit application is available upon request. For customers with established credit, terms are strictly net 30 from date of invoice with a 2% per month (24% annual) service charge on all past due accounts. Accounts with balances beyond 60 days will become C.O.D. A $25.00 charge will be assessed for a returned check.

SALES TAX
With the exception of deliveries to out-of-state customers, New York state sales tax will be charged on all purchases, unless we have a valid resale or tax exemption certificate on file. Purchases for installation by landscape contractors are generally not exempt. Pickups by out-of-state customers are not exempt.

DELIVERY CHARGES
Delivery charges apply to all orders that we deliver. These charges are based on mileage and tolls and are applied as a percentage of the dollar amount of the plants delivered. In the tri-state area, delivery charges typically do not exceed 10%. We try to keep our delivery charges as low as possible. There is a minimum delivery charge of $35.00.

PICKUP
Please give us advance notice of the date and time you want to pick up an order, especially if you want the plants to be tagged. Tagging the plants takes extra time and requires planning on our part. Pickup hours are from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM and from 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday, and on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. If you cannot come by during these hours, let us know and we may be able to set your order out for pickup at your convenience.

MINIMUM ORDER
There is no minimum order for pickups. The minimum order for delivery generally runs from $300 to $800, depending on your location and distance from the nursery. We can often pool deliveries of smaller orders, so it’s not unusual for us to ship orders of less than $300. Please call and we’ll see what we can work out. If no other method of delivery can be arranged, we may elect to ship very small orders via UPS.

FALL PROMOTION
In our continuing support of the “FALL IS FOR PLANTING” campaign, we offer fall orders in excess of $1,500 on a consignment basis to our garden center customers. Fall is an excellent time to plant, and it makes good sense to tempt your customers with fresh plants bearing the colorful fruits and foliage of the season. Garden centers that have taken advantage of this promotion have generally turned a nice profit—with no risk. The consignment program begins in August and runs through November. At the end of the season, any unsold plants in saleable condition may be returned to us. Returned plants must match the plants listed on fall consignment invoices. Please call when you’re ready to return consignment plants so we can make arrangements to pick them up and settle your account. We hope you will join us in supporting fall planting and take full advantage of this consignment offer.
