I wrote Jim Gilbert, One Green World Nursery, about Jerry's status and here is what he wrote:
<< It seems like Oregon Exotics has just disappeared. I haven't
heard from them in years. The next time I drive that way I will stop by
their location and try to find Jerry Black, the founder and owner. I know
that he did not really want to run the nursery business and wanted to
travel and escort groups to exotic locations. >> End of Jim's e/m
I'll say this, once he accepts the money he has a moral obligation to either supply the catalog or refund the money. Sounds to me like he has two problems and one may be financial.
