Hello all, New to the list. From Central WI, zone 4. I love Hipp. owning about 40 varieties with my own breeding program and app. 300 year old seedlings. I have some Hipp. Ret. str. seeds that I have come across from June. Would these still be viable and what is the best way to germinate them? I have previously used clay pellets to germinate seeds with bottom heat having about 75% germ. rate. Is there a better method? I want to use the best because I only have about 10-15 seeds. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from anyone, Tyson --------------------------------- Yahoo! FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.
