Specify the NUMBERS of the items which you would like; do not

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)
(cash, check, or Pay Pal to <Arnold140@verizon.net>; no money orders,
please) you should send to 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

From Cynthia Mueller:
Seeds of Schoenocaulon drummondii, Collected from fence rows in Central
Texas near La Grange, two different populations:
1. Population # 1
2. Population # 2
From Mary Sue Ittner:
3. Seeds of Haemanthus albiflos - evergreen, I water year round
4. Seeds of Haemanthus pauculifolius- also evergreen, I water year round,
only few seeds
5. Bulbs of Oxalis flava (yellow), fall blooming, winter growing, fast
multiplying
6. Bulblets of Tulipa clusiana - white flowers with red on the back of the
petals, supposedly one that can be grown in the ground in warm climates. I
don't see the ones I planted out returning, but it blooms well for me in
pots prechilled before planting in December
7. Bulblets of Tulipa clusiana chrysantha - bulblets, golden yellow flowers
with orange red on the back of the petals
From PBS:
8. Seeds of Boophane haemanthoides
9. Seeds of Brunsvigia bosmaniae
10. Seeds of Brunsvigia grandiflora
11. Seeds of Cybistetes longifolia, only a few
From Gary Meltzer:
12. Seeds of Clivia caulescens The clone that I have has blooms on them
every day of the year, as well as berries in varying stages of ripeness.
They are in the ground under a monkey pod tree and are mixed in with C.
miniata, C. nobilis, and C. cyrtanthiflora here and there. Pollination
could have occurred between these and any of the above. The C. miniatas
include 3 or 4 different clones of yellow flowers, some dark reds, and 1 or
2 two-toned reddish orange and white, so who knows what these will pan out
to be!
Thank you Cynthia, Mary Sue, and Gary !!
Best wishes,
Dell
