#1: Summer Sale
Posted on 2005-08-25 00:43:14 by V_coerulea
Anyone in the Southeast US within range of South Carolina, don't forget this
is the week of Carter&Holmes summer sale (10-40% off) this Thurs-Sat. They
provide lunch if you email in advance. Break out those catalogs or just go
to http://www.carterandholmes.com/index.shtml Just bring 1 charge card. The
danger is too great if you bring more.

That's true. Actually lots that aren't in the catalog. They had some 3 gal
Gramm scriptum v. citrinum 'Hihimanu' in full bloom for $75 minus 40%. Den
varieties in 5-6" pots (2-3' tall) for $5. Many others in addition to their
catalog. I really got off cheap this time at $230 (including supplies)
because I've purchased so many of the others before. I got a dugup of Paph
Pinocchio with a 16"+ LS for $7.50 and a Dtps Newberry Parfait 'Picotee'
with 10" LS also for $7.50.
Their sale continues tomorrow and Sat. If you need to plan ahead, they
repeat the sale at Christmas time and again in the spring. Good growing!

I can't believe it! This sounded so cute that I looked it up on Google
and Carter & Holmes is selling through AMAZON!!!
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0006SJ9JY/103 -5528002-7097424?v=glance
Are they getting into the Ebay business? One more thing to make me *not*
want to order from them!

Nonono, au contraire!! This makes me WANT to order from them! I think its
a brilliant marketing idea. So many vendors are shutting their doors from
lack of business. This is brilliant.

I have found one item that I was unable to find in their online
catalog, an Odontorettia.

Been there...charged that. I live in Lexington, only a few miles away
from them. Went there Friday empty-handed, left with $204 worth of
orchids, alocasias, etc.. Had the discount not been there, the damage
would have been much worse.

$210 damage, but that included 3 orchids for the GF (She's more impatient
than me so gets them bigger, plus she's a poucher...), and a couple brass
spittoons for the GF.
The GF is already clamoring for one of the Tolumnia I picked up, so it looks
like that will be my third stab at dividing a plant. Ludisia were so
easy, I'm not sure they actually count tho' :-).
