Dear All,
The items listed below have been donated by PBS list members for
sharing. If you are interested in obtaining some of them, please email me
PRIVATELY at <dells@voicenet.com>. Include "BX 41" in the subject line.
Specify the NUMBERS of the items which you would like; do not specify
quantities. 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 (cash or check) you should send the PBS
treasurer to defray our costs for packing and first-class postage. It is a
good idea to include your snail mail address too, in case I don't already
have it.
Some of you are members of the PBS discussion forum but not members of
the Pacific Bulb Society. THIS BX OFFERING IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO MEMBERS OF
THE PBS. Consider joining the PBS so that you can take advantage of future
offers such as this. Go to our website: http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/ . Or

If you would like to donate seeds or bulbs/corms to the PBS, please send
CLEAN, clearly labeled material to: Dell Sherk, PO Box 224, Holicong, PA,

their donations.
PLEASE NOTE: I WILL REPLY TO YOU WITHIN 24 HRS OF MY RECEIPT OF YOUR ORDER.
IF YOU DO NOT HEAR FROM ME, TRY AGAIN !!
From Cynthia Mueller:
SEED:
1. Crinum erubescens?: has very glossy, green, healthy leaves untroubled by
insects or disease, wine-tinged stalks of white flowers, (stalks, not
flowers, are wine-tinged) and spreads via runners. It can grow in rather
dry flower beds - just enough water to carry chrysanthemums or smaller
roses, for example.
2. Crinum americanum has no wine-tinged stain on the stalks, leaves are a
little more upright, lighter green, but still tough enough to live out in
what I would call a rather dry flower bed, too.
3. Hesperaloe parviflora: "Red Yucca"; "Female: yellow, may be crossed with
coral-pink variety growing nearby. Plant in pre-moistened soil in deep
containers, immediately. Keep in cold frame till spring. Seeds sprout over a
period of time."
