The thermometer may not have changed much, but the drier air this week has meant that it isn't quite as hot
outside. That makes it the perfect time to get out in the garden. Cool plants are coming in almost every day now at the nursery, including a shipment of
200 fortuniana-grafted roses, with favorites like: Mr. Lincoln, JFK, Pope John Paul II, Voluptuous and Gemini. If you don't have enough sun for roses,
never fear, a shipment of camellias also came in with classics like Pink Perfection, Debutante and Don Mac. Plant now for beautiful fall and winter
blooms.
