There are many nurseries run by scammers.  They are not selling
plants but they are collecting postage and handling charges from the
suckers and if they send plants they are dead sticks. They don't
actually raise plants. That would cut into their profit. Before
sending money check the nursery reputation on the Internet.  Attorney
Generals' in some states don't care if they are crooks.  They live
and pay taxes and make election gifts in their state and not you. 
Beware of nurseries that have big flashy catalogs.  If a website pays
Google enough their website will be on the first page otherwise they
might be 35,678 on the list.  Google is a money-making entity.
