Water Garden Supplies
This is a listing of major water garden supply mail order
businesses. As this list was generated in the U.S., most are from
here, but some from the UK are also included. I hope to expand
this list to include all countries. If you are a mail order water
garden supply business, and you would like to be included in this
listing, send me your catalog and I will include you in the next
update.
If you are a water garden supply user, and you know of a mail
order water garden supply business, send me some information on it
and I will check it out.
This listing is current as of June 1st 1992 and is version
Number 1.1. This list is maintained by The Garden Pond BBS in
Portland Oregon 1-(503)-735-3074. Fido address 1:105/52.
