Does anyone have any Ying Tak stones, preferably flat on the bottom, about 3
or 4" high? I am planning to put my rock planting, which has been an island,
in a land tray. I think one or two stones sticking up nearby might help. You
never know if something is going to look too busy until you try it.

I don't think they are still in business.

Bart,
I don't have any info now with address. I haven't been there in years, but,
he vended at one of the PBA shows last year so he's still in business and
had lots of new imports,,but, he was about 1-2 miles from 'Japan Nursery" in
upper, mid NJ. If you've been there, you've been in his backyard! Not
awfully far from Chase or Marty S.

Hi, Dale.

I was over at Japan Nursery a couple of weeks ago. Had I known, I could have
asked there ;-(

For Jerseyans, we're talking between Monroe Twp.

BTW, Are these the vertical stones one sees in Penjing?

Mr. Li is still in business, he just put a 1/2 page ad in my magazine.
Looks he is pushing Scholars rocks and suiseki.

Hope this helps, by the way Dale I was talking with Arthur and he told
me about Nancy's head problem. I just got out of the hospital, have
been there since Friday. After a CT, MRI, and finally a MRA they found
the right major artery to my brain is dissected (I like that term,
reminds me of maples). Anyways, they are afraid to do a regular
angiogram because of blood clots or stroke (I also now have a stoke
doctor too!). So the only thing to do is to put me on two blood
thinners (five days supply $700), and wait for three months to see if
it heals itself. It killed me this past weekend too. I was supposed to
be at a large arts/crafts festival where I get many new students. I
tried very, very hard to get out of the hospital, almost had them
convinced to let me go. But thank God, Diane and the two boys set up
and ran my display. My "crew" also instantantly came through to help
sell and water and take down.

So now I am home, waiting to go to Chicago next week and the symposium
in a few more weeks. It is a good thing I am having my 40th anniversary
exhibition now, because I probably won't make it to my 50th. I told Ken
Hallatt that this morning and said if I'm not careful, I won't even
make my 40th!

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Bill

Too Bad Bart,
Like I said, It's only 2ish miles I guess. He has several large poly
houses at his home. Also has pots, stands. No STORE, just poly houses next
to his huge home. I dug pots out of the sand where they layed a long time
after he unboxed them:)
He had boxes of all sizes of stone and he sells those "cemented together"
yin tak planting "mountains"
Don't expect a classy place.( It would also help if you speak Chinese! Ha!)
But, he had lots of chinese trees. Actually had some fairly nice retail-type
white pines MUCH cheaper than Japanese imports.
I got several very nice specimens for clients there in the past , a huge
hackberry, huge Fukian tea ( ychhh!), very nice cork Black pines, and a
beautiful , large cascading pyracantha attached to a stalagmite . Again, all
cheaper than Japanese imports.
He was at Philly Flower show for several years, , not sure now. Too far for
me to "stroll" over!

Thanks Bill,
There ya go folks. Now, don't everyone flock there the same day! Ha!

BTW, for those that get Bill's magazine. Another great place to go that is
advertised is "NJB" nursery , Larry Umbreit nursery, Port Murray,
908-852-1317( see ad, the one with the little New Jersey map sitting in a
tray) ). Not a store, a HUUUGGGEEEE deck several hundred feet long , with
some stuff for sale but a huge personal collection. I traded for some nice
collected azaleas and apple there once.

I'm always wondering if people really do read the magazine ads that dealers
pay for?

Bill,
This is unwelcome and shocking news. One doesn't have
to be a personal acquaintance in our bonsai community to be
frightened by the idea of some condition that would threaten
you, your reliable constant help and support. Looking at
medical abilities now and surprising recoveries there are good
prospects for you to make it to your 50th. There are a lot of
people hoping you take good care after reading this.

Dear Bill,

I'm really sorry to hear about your health problems! I'm sure that if you follow your doctor's advice, and take it easy,things will work out ok. Modern medicine has lots of wonders. Your work has always been an inspiration to me, and as you work toward
s your 50th exhibition, I expect to learn a lot more bonsai from you.

Sincerely,
Ed Trout

Yes. However, now that I put the rock in the new pot with a small fake pond,
there really isn't any room for stones also. let well enough alone.
