To process a mail order request for tulip bulbs the business Hole's
Greenhouse and Gardens will only ship to a Canadian address and a
customs broker must intervene  with the power of attorney and complete
the duty and CN22 paperwork so that the package can be shipped to me
here in Dayton, Ohio. There is no law that the tulip bulbs can not be
in the USA it is only the choice of the mail order business to not  go
to the bother;of course for the agricultural reasons the package has
to be inspected. It seems alot for the package to be received into the
USA but there is no other way that  the tulip bulbs can be purcased
for this planting time, which is now! Please answer my question right
away if you know of a Canadian service that facillitates this kind of
a package handling service,or if you know of any way this purchase can
be completed

pigsinablanket,

I am SO glad you were able to find a supplier of those beautiful
"Sweety" Triumph Tulips! Who'd have thought it would be such an
involved process to get them to the USA? (If I was still living near
the Canadian border, I'd just drive up and get them for you.)
