Since about the end of October I've been asked the following questions at least ten times a day...every day

Do you still have plants available?
Have you ever been here? Where would they have gone? We have hundreds of thousands of plants....all of the time.

When are you going to close for the season?
This is actually a good question. the answer is, I don't know. Okay, I can do a little better than that. It depends mostly on the weather. We need to get our lines blown out before it freezes, A lot of our electric valves are above ground and if the temputures are below freezing, it makes blowing out the lines very difficult. Once the lines are blown out, we have to cover. We'll still sell you plant though, we've devised an ingenious way to get into our houses once they are sealed up. After the first week of December we take a little time off, we return in the begining of January, but that's to go to the GLTE in Grand Rapids.

Can I get a better price on this because it's the end of the season?
I have a very short answer for this. NO,  If you're into gimmicks (promotions, specials, sales) whatever you want to call it, we are not the place for you. If you want  ligitimate wholesale pricing, everyday, without any smoke and mirrors, I think you'll quite happy with our regular prices.
 
I would like to offer you this challenge
Take your plant list for your next job and use our catalog (Rushton Farms) to figure your cost. Then take any other wholesaler in the area and do the same. Figure in all of their discounts, specials, promotions, and any other gimmick that they can think of to trick you into buying your plants from them. If we're not less than they are I'll buy you a pop out of our vending machine (if it's working)
