Rupert. My middle name is dinosaur - if you walk on my tail, it will
take a long time to reach my brain. What's going on, what's happening
to you? You sound all agitated!

card."

Rupert should take a look at how Plants of Distinction does it. They
accept cheques containing the words PAY NOT MORE THAN estimated
price & the window for the actual amount is filled in by PofD
themselves.
This avoids the time needed to make refunds when seeds are not
available.

No, the point is that THE Crug are now doing Mail order , which is a
breakthrough.Some really beautiful and rare stuff sent to your door.
Until recently they had vowed that mail order was not on.
Given them a chance on the primeval way of ordering-they are looking for
someone to help out and develop the mail order system. Any offers?
