Jim, "kwekerij" does indeed mean nursery. By the way, the Dutch guilder w=as
more near $2.40 before we converted to the Euro (which looks like
toy-money....)

Richard,

HFL was the former Dutch currency, the Guilder, which had an exchange rat=e
to US dollars of about 2 HFL = $1 (roughly).  I would guess that if you
converted at that rate, you would get the current US$ prices.

The home page, for Marni's Kwekerij, is at http://marnis.nl/ -- now can
someone translate "Kwekerij" for me?  I  think it means "Bulb company" or
"Bulb farm" in Dutch.  Maybe it just means "nursery"?

Hope this helps a bit.
