NOTE A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the requirements of Regulation S-X and Form 10-Q.  The
statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for interim periods.  For further information,
refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year
ended December 31, 1994.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the year due to the seasonal
nature of the Company's business.

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

The Company's first quarter sales increased $7,920,000, a 20.1% increase to
$47,237,000 in 1995 compared to $39,317,000 for the first quarter 1994.  All
sales channels recognized increases with Service Centers realizing the largest
increase of $3,200,000 for the quarter. The Company's Service Center sales on a
comparative basis of  103 stores was up 17.3%  for the first quarter 1995
compared to 1994.   In addition, both consumable and hard good products sales
increased in the first quarter 1995 over 1994.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales declined slightly from 33.2%  for the
first quarter 1994 compared to 32.9% in 1995.  The Company's  consumable
products margins declined primarily due to the increasing costs of  fertilizer
products and due to the competitive marketplace, particularly as it relates to
pre-emergent turf protection products.  The Company's hard goods products
margin increased due primarily to price increases which offset a portion of the
consumable goods gross margin decline.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses increased to 34.1% of sales for
the first quarter 1995 compared to 33.8% in 1994.  The increase  was
$2,798,000, a 21% increase in the first quarter 1995 over 1994  which compares
to a sales increase of 20.1%.  $1,582,000 of the increase is due to the newly
opened Service Centers during the first quarter 1995 compared to 1994.   The
Company opened 21 new Service Centers in the first quarter of 1995 and had 159
in operation as of  March 31, 1995 compared to 121 stores open as of March 31,
1994.  In addition, sales expenses increased with the addition of six new
Stores-On-Wheels  and six Regional Agronomists which were added in the first
quarter of 1995.  Distribution, delivery, marketing and general administrative
expenses all increased at a percent less than the Company's sales growth.

The Company's interest expense increased to $628,000 in the first quarter 1995
compared to $483,000 in 1994.  This increase is due to market rate increases in
1995 compared to 1994.  Other deductions - net, consist primarily of customer
finance charges which totaled $341,000 in the first quarter 1995 compared to
$362,000 in 1994.

The Company's effective tax rate for both the first quarter of 1995 and 1994 is
39%.

reducing to $40,596,000 as of March 31, 1995 compared to $42,177,00 at March

December 31, 1994 in order to fund the seasonal increases required in accounts
receivable and inventories.   Accounts receivable increased to $50,417,000 as
of March 31, 1995 compared to $41,991,000 as of March 31, 1994 and $38,415,000

31, 1995 compared to $55,165,000 as of March 31, 1994 and $51,676,000 as of
December 31, 1994.   Both the accounts receivable (20.1%) and the inventory
(16.2%) increases from March 31, 1994 to March 31, 1995 compare favorably to
the Company's sales increase of 20.1% for the first quarter 1995 compared to
1994.   The increase
