Last two years if you order something the next years catalogue is free,so to speak,but if you don't order anything you have to send a cheque to cover postage of the catalogue.I thinks its £2 or £3 pounds.

Good grief!  Well, no doubt that those bulbs are unfit for purpose, is there?  :o >:(

The bulbs were in one of those ventilated semi-opaque plasticy packet things (the sort that healthy bulbs come in in September) so there is just, just barely, no, honestly missus almost an excuse if the packets were naively thought to preserve all contents indefinitely against ...

Hmmm thought they might be but thought I'd give them a try anyway.  I've only got one clump of woronowii anyway so I'll enjoy them anyway for less than a tender.   They say 50bulbs so we'll see when they arrive.  Will report back...
