The current issue of The Bulb Garden is in the mail. If you are a member, and do not receive it in a timely fashion, please write Arnold Trachtenberg ( arnold140@verizon.net ) for assistance. This issue has some great articles. There is one on alliums native to serpentine areas of California written by Nhu Nguyen, and one by Robert Werra on growing Moreas. If you haven't joined the organization yet, there is still time to do so and get a copy of these informative articles with their beautiful pictures. Since this is my last issue as editor, I would like to again thank those who have made the job easy and fun. The co-editor is Jennifer Hildebrand. Her creativity and attention to detail have significantly increased the attractiveness of the layout and content. Arnold has been dedicated to getting the issues printed and mailed. Thank you both. More importantly, the newsletter could not have been produced without the dedicated efforts of all the people who have contributed articles and photos for your pleasure. Thank you all. Finally, I want to introduce you to Jane Merryman ( jane@sonic.net ) who is taking over as editor with the first issue of 2010. Please make her welcome and help her by sending articles and ideas. If you can think of a topic, a cartoon, a book review, or ?? that you would like to create, please write to her. Marguerite
