Gary and All!

I purchase mine from BWI companies. I am fortunate to have a local distributor nearby. A case of 100 of the 72 cell pack trays (7200 cells) will somewhere around $25, maybe a little less. A case of 100 of the 18 cell (4"X4") pack trays (1800 cells) will be around $25. I don't remember how much the flats are, but you can also buy them by the 100.

I don't have a catalog, but I understand that you can get one. Someone help me here! Who had the phone number for BWI?

There are other nursery supply distributors. I'll see if I can round up someone with experience purchasing from others.

Last year I use BWI I got the 36cell and 48 cell for flowers and vegatables.I paid $39.35 for the 606jumbo .inserts thats for 100 per case. I got my local feedstore to order them at her wholesale price. I thought that is.

BWI in Houston is 1-800-788-8901 ask for nearest supplier

In my wholesale catalog they list all the inserts but you have to call them for the price.

I had made up my mind I was going to order from Parks Seed after I compared prices just now but maybe I better look back at BWI Ann I wonder if they sold you them at the discounted price if you order over 100 boxes

I love my buddies at Morton's (http://www.mortonproducts.com) and they usually have the best prices on most things. Their flats run $32 for 100 flats and they have most of the standard sizes. A.M. Leonard (http://www.amleo.com) has every size imaginable and they are about the same price from $31.19 to $32.21 per 100 trays.

I think Ann may have an advantage at having a BWI store in her area. I have to order from them and I can usually always beat their catalog price elsewhere.
