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 247" in the subject line.
Specify the NUMBERS of the items which you would like; do not
specify quantities (except for this offering's colchicums). 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 to 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.
Some of you are members of the online PBS discussion forum but are 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:
