I know Sid and have done business with him.  He always treated me well. 
 His forte is grafted hazelnuts, particularly those from the Cecil 
Farris breeding program.  He is about the only game in town if that is 
what you want.

I am always hesitant to give personal recommendations.  *I* think Sid is 
a fine fellow.  But if it were possible to determine a how a person will 
act under all circumstances, into the hazy future, there would be no 
divorces.  As it is, approximately half of all marriages in the US end 
in divorce.  And marriage is a game that is played for very high stakes 
and is (usually) more researched than a $200 order from a nursery.

Keep trying.  I think Sid will come through for you.

It may be that Grinnell Nursery is that awkward size were he cannot afford to 
hire full time clerical help.
