                NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

         The interim financial statements contained herein have been prepared by
         Cornelius Nurseries, Inc., Turkey Creek Farms, Inc. and Wholesale
         Landscape Distributors, Inc. (together "Cornelius") pursuant to the
         rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the
         opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
         presentation of the financial position at June 30, 1999 and the results
         of operations and cash flows for the nine-month period ended June 30,
         1999 have been made. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

         Because of seasonal and other factors, the results of operations and
         cash flows for the nine-month period ended June 30, 1999 are not
         necessarily indicative of expected results of operations and cash flows
         for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1999.

         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
         financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the
         rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
         Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction
         with the audited financial statements and related notes of Cornelius
         for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 included in this Form 8-K.

2. Wholesale Landscape Distributors, Inc.

         During the nine-month period ended June 30, 1999, Cornelius created
         Wholesale Landscape Distributors, Inc. consisting of its two wholesale
         landscape distribution centers, one in Houston and one near Austin. For
         the fiscal years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 those centers were
         operated as Turkey Creek Distribution Centers, a division of Turkey
         Creek Farms, Inc.
