Chicago suburban source for root hormone

Anyone know of a store source for root hormone, perlite, vermiculite, etc., in the Chicago north suburbs? I used to buy these at Frank's Nursery chain but now that they are gone, I can't seem to find these anywhere. Stores like Lowe's, Menards, etc, that only carry seasonal garden items don't carry these. I don't want to order online: I want to find a good nursery-type store that I can come back to periodically and browse.

Thanks for the tip! I see Jamaican Gardens all the time from the highway but have never stopped. Lurveys sounds interesting. I'll check it out!

I get all that stuff at Wal-Mart, but I'm not sure they've built any in your area yet. Good luck!
