When small foliage plant stores
appeared in abundance throughout
shopping areas, Jim saw the need
for educational information. For
several years his “Greenery Gab”
newsletter saved many inex
perienced plant retailers from self
destruction.
This eagerness to help people
was well known by those who knew
him. He was hard working, un
selfish, and dedicated.
In his memory, a Board of
Directors consisting of
representatives from the Penn
sylvania Flower Growers and
Pennsylvania Nursery Association
has established a Memorial Fund.

Even if you already have a company
or Keogh retirement plan, even if you are
a government employee or are in the
armed forces, you can still put money
you earn into an Individual Retirement
Account! That means that you can put up
to $4OOO jointly (up to $2OOO individually;
$2250 if there’s a non-working spouse).
It’s a great way to get high interest and
a tax deduction for the entire amount!
