Any input on Vernon Barnes' fruit trees etc?

[tashak]

The Feb.'06 Progressive Farmer p. 75 has a full page ad by Vernon Barnes and Son re varieties of fruit trees, berries, etc. Prices are much better than Lowes, Home Depot, H. Field, etc.Some are heirloom varieties, ex. 2-3' Arkansas Black apple $3.49 ea. and most have lesser price when ordered in lots of 10; postprepaid with order total (after discount) of $50.
Any one have any input? Is it too good to be true, or ?
Admit I'm tempted--just walked the grounds to see where I could put what.
Going through my ref. stuff to see which varieties might do okay here....

I looked at the watchdog type stuff on the internet and they are highly recomended by people out there. I'm interested for sure. Does one get a catalog directly from Vernon Barnes and Son? I wrote down the address and phone #'s.

Thanks for the info.
No mention made of catalog except it does say "Save up to 40%from catalogue prices:, it is a small print full page ad and I don't have a scanner and don't think the library computers do either.
Their fax # is 931-668-2165.
Really tempted by the 10 rhubarb 1 yr. roots/$7.98, 10 asparagus 1yr. roots/$7.98, cherry and apricot and plum and blackberry.
Ad lists other trees etc. too.
Only thing saving me from going overboard is the winter heating bill that just came today....
