Dear All,

       The items listed below have been donated by our members to be shared.

  If you are interested in obtaining some of them, please email me PRIVATELY
at <ds429@comcast.net>. Include "BX 269" in the subject line. 

        Specify the NUMBERS of the items which you would like; do not
specify quantities. It is a good idea to include your snail mail address,
too, in case I don't already have it. Availability is based on a first come,
first served system. When you receive your seeds/bulbs you will find,
included with them, a statement of how much money (usually $2.00/item)
(cash, check, or Pay Pal to <Arnold140@verizon.net>; no money orders,
please) you should send the PBS treasurer to defray our costs for packing
and first-class, priority-mail, or international postage.

 PLEASE NOTE: CURRENT POSTAL-RATE SCHEMES NECESSITATE OUR PLACING A
SURCHARGE ON EACH ORDER FROM PBS BX OFFERINGS.

members of the Pacific Bulb Society. THIS BX OFFERING IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO

From Jim Waddick:

1. Seed/fruit of Rohdea japonica 'Galle' - Narrow Leaf Form        This
evergreen member of the lily family is MUCH hardier than most literature
suggests. It stays evergreen here with temps well below 0F and has survived
with leaf damage below -20 F. This is a form with long, narrow foliage.
Flowers are insignificant, but ripe fruit is globe shaped, about the size of
a large pea and bright orange-red.
        Each fruit contains 1 to 4 seeds and are slow, but easy to
germinate.   Fruits should be cleaned to expel large dark seeds and covered
lightly with soil or mix.

 From Stephen Putman:

2. Seed of Hippeastrum aulicum stenopetalum

From Arnold Trachtenberg:

3. Seed of Clivia miniata 'Vico Yellow' Very small supply. One seed per
order @ $5.00/seed

From Lynn Makela:

4. Bulbs of Habranthus 'Cherry Pink'
5. bulbs of Zephyranthes 'Apricot Queen'
6. Bulbs of Nothoscordum dialystemon
7. Scaly rhizomes of Achimenes grandiflora 'Robert Dressler'
8. Scaly rhizomes of Achimenes 'Pink Cloud'
9. Scaly Rhizomes 'Purple King'

Thank you, Jim, Stephen, Arnold, and Lynn !!

Best wishes,
Dell
