>From Charles Hardman:

>A special offering: $2.00 per bulb. Limit: 2 bulbs of each kind:

>NOTE: plant immediately

>1. Large bulbs of Tecophilaea cyanocrocus (type)
>
>2. Large to medium bulbs of Tecophilaea cyanocrocus 'Leichtlinii'
>
>3. Medium bulbs of Tecophilaea cyanocrocus 'Violacea'
>
>Charles says that he has found that, for good germination, a loose, acidic
>medium is necessary. He uses "Super Soil" for seed starting as well as for
>growing on to blooming. He said that Andrew Wilson told him that they grow
>well in the peaty soil of Ireland !  Another piece of advice from Charles:
>the bulbs do not like to be crowded and will not set seed if they are.

>From David Ehrlich:

>From Alberto Castillo:

>SEED:
>
>16. Scilla greilhuberi (W). Very reliable in areas of mild winters, out of
>direct sun. In cold climates, very hardy. Several scapes per bulb. Does not
>offset, only propagated from seed. 
> 
>17. Neopatersonia uitenhagensis (W). Cape bulb for full sun, frost free
>areas. Besides the "botanical interest" it flowers for a long period and
>produces several scapes per bulb. Flowers are white and pale green and
>attractive.

>BULBS:

>18. Oxalis gracilis (W). This is a shortish form, compact, and extremely
>floriferous, we have it in flower for four months or more in winter. Full
>sun and gritty soil.
> 
>19. Oxalis purpurea 'Garnet' (W). This is the deepest purplish form of this
>species, spectacular. Full sun and gritty soil. Recently mentioned in the
>PBS forum as one of the most striking of all. 
> 
>20. Oxalis compressa, double form (W). Apparently this form is unknown in
>the States. Flowers are very double, yellow with faint terracotta back to
>the petals, on tall stems. The foliage is compact, ground hugging and
>attractive. Some forms have a black center that makes them very striking.
>Most plants produce plain green leaves as the character of black center is
>recessive, but of course, from offsets they prove true to the variety. Both
>forms are here, in mix.

>From Lynn Makela:
