Did you hear? Northrup King has filed for bankruptcy.

That's no surprise. "Why," you ask? When I was a kid, we bought most of our gardening supplies from them. Everyone I knew thought they were the best catalog nursery. But then something happened; I don't know what. I quit buying from them when they sent me 'gargage' plants. I assumed they were bought out by some cut-rate company because catalogs from four nurseries, including Northrup King, were coming out identical - they all had the same items/pictures mixed differently in each's catalog. I won't buy anything from any of them and, apparently, alot of other folks think likewise. End of an era.
