at <ds429@comcast.net>. Include "BX 303" 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
<pbs.treasury@verizon.net>; no money orders, please) you should send the PBS
treasurer.
PLEASE NOTE: CURRENT POSTAL-RATE SCHEMES NECESSITATE OUR PLACING A SURCHARGE
ON EACH ORDER FROM PBS BX OFFERINGS.

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

From Jude Platteborze:
1. Tubers of "Alocasia X Mark Campbell" various sizes
From Stephen Putman:
2. Seeds of Hippeastrum nelsonii (LIMITED SUPPLY)
From Monica Swartz:
3. Bulbs of Ledebouria cooperi, ex BX 169.
4. Seeds of Ornithogalum glandulosum, ex Jim Duggan Flower Nursery
5. Seeds of Chlorophytum orchidantheroides or amaniense. Yes, the
Chlorophytum is geophytic. They have big fat storage roots and some
individuals die back to the ground in winter. I recommend that this species
NOT be grown in frost free areas because it is very fecund and could become
invasive. Sow seeds thinly because most seeds germinate and since most of
the plant is below ground, the pot will get too crowded very fast. The
flashy orange leaf bases will develop after the first year.
