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 287" 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 (usually $2.00/share of
seeds or $3 -$5/ share of bulbs)(cash, check, or Pay Pal to
<Arnold140@verizon.net>; no money orders, please) you should send 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.

Many of you are subscribers to this pbs elist which is free, but are
not members of the Pacific Bulb Society which has a yearly membership
charge. THIS BX OFFERING IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO MEMBERS of the Pacific Bulb
Society. If you are not a member, consider joining so that you can take
advantage of future offers such as this. Go to our website:

From Arnold Trachtenberg:

From Mary Sue Ittner: (BULBS/CORMS)

All winter growing:

8. Allium amethystinum
9. Babiana sp. - 20+ years old descendents from mixed Babiana seed. I've
never tried to key it out as I suspect it's a hybrid. Reliable
bloomer planted in the ground and in containers in Northern
California. There could be some corms that look different as this pot
was once mixed, but when I replanted I can't tell which is which and
lately most of them seem to be the same color. Last time I sent these
to the BX, they ended up in the sale later in the year. Hopefully
someone will want them this time as now is the time to plant them in
the Northern hemisphere.
