Availability List 20/12/06

A new Availability list is done go to http://www.jackdawsfield.co.uk/ to Download it.

Merry Christmas ho! ho! ho!

Depending on when you read this we hope that you have/had a restful Christmas and will be ready for the challenges of 2007. Unless you take the view that the industry is in terminal decline then things can't get any worse, can they? We are taking the view that what our customers, whether wholesale or retail, need is range so that they can offer their customers some thing other than the dull uniformity of the sheds and large chains. We don't grow huge numbers but there is plenty to choose from.
Our full catalogue, which will be posted in during January, serves a number of purposes that are not covered by the availability list. It is our full price list for the year and it shows which varieties we produce regularly and those, which we only propagate if they have been ordered.
Over the years we have built up a large collection of stock plants and in some respects these are like a back catalogue; we stock the chart items (except it runs into hundreds rather than tens), but the rest is still available - given time.
For the coming year we have reviewed our prices across the board, and although there is an underlying price increase the on most orders we have received so far has been to change the total cost very little. Do remember when looking at the prices here that the next price band up (200-499) is 2.5 % cheaper and that we give overriding discounts based on the volume of business on an annual basis (as explained in the last and the next catalogue)

I am told that that you enjoy reading my blurbs on plants and these will return in the New Year (until we get too busy, I hope). This particular back catalogue is available on our website (as Nick's blog) so impress the younger generation around you by becoming a blog-reader.
The availability list is also always there if you need a copy between our monthly sendings - it is updated at least once a week. It is also our intention to pepper the blog with pretty pictures - because we can, and what is point of this business if we don't enjoy the plants? It is at www.jackdawsfield.co.uk

We are closed until Wednesday 3rd January, although we will answer the phone if we here it, and any orders will be
Processed in rotation upon our resumption.
