Dear All,
The items listed below have been donated by some of our members,
to be shared. If you are interested in obtaining some of them, please
email me PRIVATELY at <ds429@comcast.net>. Include "BX 252" 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 (cash, check,
or Paypal) you should send the PBS treasurer to defray our costs for
packing and first-class postage. 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.
