This is what P. Baud (french expert) writes in his book Le Figuier, pas á pas about 'Madelaine de deux saison'. I translate from french: Madeleine de deux saison. synonyms: Angelique, Figue d'Or, Early Lemon.

Message from Gary For cottonwood468 - Should I send to the Chicago address, or the other one? The package will most likely go out on Monday. For sea_kangaroo - I need her mailing address. (She received the wrong package. But, because of her unique wish list (ones that no one else wanted) I still have about 30 wish list varieties for her. I have no idea if my email contact info is still available on Gardenweb) For pink iris - Her package will go out Monday. (and that wraps up the tomato/bean swaps, 125+ participants, 12,500+ packs of seeds) Thanks Gary

I was reading this thread and noticed someone posted about calling Caribbean Blue Pools and Spas without delay. I too was shopping for a pool, started to do some research, and came across their internet advertisement claiming they are the number 1 landscape architecture firm in New Jersey. What I can't understand though is when I started looking at Caribbean Blue Pool's and Spas landscaping pictures, I found that they were showing landscaping pictures done by scenic landscaping.If you go to the bottom of Caribbean Blue Pools and Spa�s landscaping page which just so happens to be titled Scenic Landscaping Outdoor living:http://www.caribbeanpoolsspas.com/gallery.html and open up any of the landscaping pictures you will see they give credit to Scenic Landscaping. I don't understand why Caribbean Blue Pools and Spas who "does it all" include landscaping featuring a competitors portfolio on their web site? I also googled their so called staffed landscape architect (NJ Landscape Architect Marc Nissim RLA CLA NJS50096900) and found out he owns his own design firm www.hdglandscape.com/information.html. I've found there are several swimming pool companies in New Jersey who actually do it all. If you live in Central New Jersey including Mendham NJ You can try calling Ivy Construction, Inc./Ehrich & Ehrich Landscape Architects, Inc. in Cranbury, NJ or Beechwood Landscape Architecture and Construction, LLC in Southampton, NJ From Northern New Jersey there is B & B Pool and Spa in Chestnut Ridge, NY, Stephen J. Miller Enterprises in Mahwah New Jersey or Cipriano Custom Swimming Pools & Landscaping also in Mahwah NJ. I live in Mendham New Jersey and I know all of these swimming pool companies service my area.

SHOP ANY WHERE ELSE. Marble.com is an awful place. And, getting your countertops is a really momentous and joyous occasion, don't let this company ruin the experience for you. They are neither fast nor cheap. First off, they are dishonest, they will give you one quote up front and another charge when you're stuck with them. Secondly, there is one representative in particular "Matt" who is unprofessional, incredibly aggressive, and has no sense of ethics. He is who you will deal with the moment the company messes up some aspect of your order or if you have a question. In our case, we went to their NJ location and looked at the marble slabs (they have a good selection of slabs, but so does any other quarry and you can always get your sample from here and take it to a reputable marble provider). We selected our stone, received a quote and agreed. The company sent over someone to measure our counter needs (who was professional). After we paid our deposit we were told that the stone we selected was actually in their "gold" line now and the price we were quoted was readjusted by an additional $4k. You can imagine how the situation progressed from there. In our case, "Matt" (who we were not initially working with) took over and advised that there was a telephone recorded conversation documenting our quoted price. When we asked for the audio file of this alleged conversation we were emailed a blank .wav file. When we asked to communicate with a supervisor or the staff member we had initially started this process with we were told by Matt, "No, you communicate with me, I am not putting you through to anyone else." This was not an experience unique to us. I wish I had read their reviews before ever engaging with this company. Moral of the story, trust all of the other homeowners who have made the mistake of working with Marble.com and save yourself the headache, especially on such a fun part of the dream kitchen journey.
