Friends, Yesterday I made a quick run to Wal-Mart - admittedly NOT the Horticultural center of the city - and was surprised to see bins of fall bulbs set out for sale- Iris to Tulips, Hyacinths and all the basics. This seems very early for commercial displays. Of course they were also finalizing the Halloween displays, too - including candy that should be completely eaten before Halloween which is over 2 months away! Happy Labor Day those in the US. Summer's over (at least on the calendar). Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd. Kansas City Missouri 64152-2711 USA Ph. 816-746-1949 Zone 5 Record low -23F Summer 100F +
