Love you referral to Montgomery Ward clearance sale!
This is particularly interesting regarding Witch Hazel. I was born in 1957 and grew up watching my mom splash Witch Hazel on her face then following with Rose Water. She had beautiful Irish skin, red hair, green eyes.
My daughter is an herbal alchemist. Because I have rather ruddy skin, my daughter made me a facial toner with witch hazel, rose water, butterfly pea tea, and chamomile. It's just wonderful stuff and has softened my facial skin.
Are you talking tree or plant?
Gonna check out if Witch Hazel can tolerate zone 7 west coast moutain's ever changing weather. Thanks Baker
