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)

please) you should send the PBS treasurer to defray our costs for packing
and first-class, priority-mail, or international postage.

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:
