at an event as popular as our usual sale is, we made the decision to scale down and offer
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>online presales only</b></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> to members and friends of FUUSM. “Friends” here would include friends with whom you want to share
the catalog. Because this year's sale is so different, here is how it works.</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0.08in;margin-bottom: 0.08in;margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Something you may notice: we have simplified pricing, with no items priced less than $1 or over $5. A check of the places where
many of us buy our plants has found that 4-inch annuals are running between $4.49 and $4.99, with perennials of the same size averaging $5.99. Most of our 4-inch plants are $3, with larger plants going for $5. As you probably know (and we are reminding you
anyway), all proceeds go for the upkeep of our historic buildings, so--double beautification, your yard and our church!</span><br>
