                         -----------------------------


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 and nine months ended September 30, are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year due to
the seasonal nature of the Company's business.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                 ---------------------------------------------

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

The Company's sales for the three months ended September 30, increased
$12,174,000, a 21.3% increase to $69,429,000 in 1995 compared to $57,255,000 in
1994.  Year-to-date sales increased $31,054,000, a 19.8% increase to
$188,131,000 compared to 1994 sales of $157,078,000.  The rate of growth for
the Company's consumable goods for the quarter and year-to-date were slightly
higher than the Company average while the growth rate for hard goods for both
the quarter and year-to-date were slightly below the Company average.  Sales
for each of the Company's sales groups continued to expand for both the quarter
and year-to-date periods with Service Center sales recognizing the largest
dollar increase.  Same store sales for Service Centers increased 1995 over 1994
by 19.3% for the quarter and 18.1% year-to-date.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 32.5% for the third quarter 1995
compared to 34.1% in 1994 and 33.1% year-to-date 1995 compared to 34.4% in
1994.  Fertilizer margins continued to adversely affect the Company's overall
margin performance for both the third quarter and year- to-date results.  The
Company continues to monitor  pricing in the fertilizer marketplace.  In
addition, the Company has increased communication to its customers regarding
the current fertilizer market conditions.  The Company's hard goods product
margins have increased for both the quarter and year-to-date 1995 over 1994;
however, these margin increases did not completely offset the reduction in
fertilizer product margins.

The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses declined to 26.9% of
sales in 1995 compared to 28.0% in the third quarter of 1994 and 28.6%
year-to-date 1995 compared to 28.8% in 1994.  Overall, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $2,639,000 in third quarter 1995 over 1994
and $8,494,000 year-to-date 1995 over 1994.  The principal reason for the
dollar increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is due to the
expansion of Service Centers to 173 in operation as of September 30, 1995
compared to 137 as of September 30, 1994.  The increase in Service Center
operating expenses in the third quarter 1995 over 1994 was $1,638,000 and
year-to-date was $4,622,000.  Other selling expenses also increased in 1995 due
to the increase in number of the Company's Golf Course sales representatives to
65 in 1995 compared to 59 in 1994 and Regional Golf Course Agronomists to 12
in 1995 compared to six in 1994.

Interest expense for both the quarter and year-to-date 1995 increased over
comparable periods for 1994 due to both increased  borrowing levels and rate
increases.  Other deductions -- net include customer finance charges which
totaled  $710,000 for the third quarter 1995 compared to $602,000 in 1994 and
$1,619,000 in year-to-date 1995 compared to $1,369,000 in 1994.

The Company's effective tax rate for the third quarter and year-to-date 1995
and 1994 is 39%.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
- ----------------------------------------------------

As of September 30, 1995, the Company's total assets were $142,329,000 compared
to $117,033,000 at September 30, 1994 and $114,612,000 at December 31, 1994.
The principal reason for the increase from September 30, 1995 from 1994 is
accounts receivable which increased $12,927,000, a 31.9% increase to
$53,463,000 in 1995 from $40,537,000.  The increase in receivables is due to
the Company's increase in sales plus increased customer participation in the
early-order dating programs.  The Company's receivables were $38,415,000 as of
December 31, 1994.  Inventories increased to $62,009,000 at September 30, 1995
compared to $52,248,000 at September 30, 1994 and $51,676,000 at December 31,
1994.  The increase in inventories is due principally to the increase in the
Company's sales volume and expansion in the number of Service Centers and Golf
Course sales locations.

The funding for the above increases was provided primarily  by increases in
long-term debt and accounts payable.  Long-term debt increased to $42,204,000
as of September 30, 1995 compared to $30,387,00 as of  September 30, 1994 and
$29,542,000 as of December 31, 1994.  Accounts Payable increased to $28,273,000
as of September 30, 1995 compared to $22,561,000 as of September 30, 1994 and
$20,667,000 as of December 31, 1994.  The increase in payables is directly
related to the increases in inventories while debt and equity increases fund
the remaining increases in assets.   As of September 30, 1995, the Company had
$9,500,000 available for borrowing under its $45 million revolving credit
agreement.

Expenditures for capital improvements totaled $5,431,000 for the nine-months
ended September 30, 1995.  These expenditures include the purchase by the
Company of a distribution facility previously leased in Avon Lake, Ohio which
totaled approximately $2 million.  The remaining capital expenditures relate to
the opening of 35 new Service Centers in 1995 and to improvements in the
Company's information systems.  Management believes sufficient credit  is
available to allow for current anticipated capital improvements and seasonal
working capital requirements.
