Dear members living in the EU,

The EU Seed and Bulb Exchange is now open for donations. As usual we
will do two rounds, the first one is mainly for seed which is less
prone to cold damage in the mail. But depending on where you live and
depending how urgently some bulbs must be planted...., you can also
send bulbs. The second round will be distributed about 4 weeks after
the first one. That is for the more fragile items.  Donations can be
sent to Martin from now on until further notice. You will be updated
through the same channels. All EU members should receive a personal
email, if not, please come back to Uli.

Please send only clean, healthy and pest free material, labelled with
the scientific name and your name so that each item can be assigned to
the donor.

To reduce Martin's  workload, we would appreciate if you could
pre-pack your seed donation. Bulbs do not need to be pre-packed and
should come in one single bag for each species. For seed 5 portions of
the same seed which are enough to produce a reasonable potful of
seedlings, with very rare seed a portion can go down to 3-5 seeds. As
usual, this is entirely voluntary and free seed envelopes can be
requested from Martin. If the seed is plentiful, you can add an extra,
larger portion for Martin to pack in case of more than 5 people
ordering it.

As a donor you will get a bonus which covers the cost of postage. This
bonus can be used for your own orders or for membership payments.

The full instructions for the EU Seed and Bulb Exchange of the Pacific
Bulb Society can be found on the website under Bulb Exchanges. The
most important points to participate: You must have a postal address
in one of the EU countries and you must be a fully paid member. You do
/not/ need to be a donor to be entitled to order from the exchanges

Please send you donations to:      Martin Bohnet
