About the Cover
Once again, we are privileged to have America's top commercial cartoonist, Jack Pittman, to pen our catalog cover. Jack's client list is a veritable who's who of American corporations. It probably won't be long before our covers are being auctioned on e-bay! If you are in need of fun commercial art, give Jack a call at 919.785.1966.

Spring 2004 - "Outlaw Gardening"
We've had a couple folks who took exception to our reference to
"The White List" on the catalog cover above. Seems they decided it
must be a racial comment. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Most of the catalog cover is a reference to the US Department of
Agriculture's "White List" of approved plants. In 1999 the USDA's
Invasive Species Council
decided that in the noble cause of preventing invasive plants from
being introduced to the US, the solution was to ban almost everything.
This rather upset most horticuralists, botanic gardens, and plant
collectors around the country. For more information, visit the
following website.
