 Oh yes, snail mail
 address for 1,2 or 3 shares of Crinum bulbispermum seed. 
 Actually if it is $2.00 per share send me 5
 shares.
 My address is:
 
 Joey Russell
 P.O. Box 282
 Grenada, California 96038
 
 OR
 
 9112 Gamma
 Lane
 Montague, California 96064  (Physical
 address)
 
 I don't know
 whether seeds would be happier in a possibly hot mailbox for
 a 
 while (no more than a day) or a cool post
 office!

 Dear Joey,
 
      Congratulations on
 joining the world of the PBS BX.
 
      Crinum
 bulbispermum should be reliably
 hardy for
 you, but here’s a few beginner hints. Keep the
 pots of seedlings protected some from climate
 extremes and
 well watered.  I usually bring
 the seedling pot indoors and
 away from
 freezing for the first winter. In spring plant
 them out where they get full sun and plenty of
 room. This
 selection gets to almost 4 ft
 tall here and wider than that.
 Keep well
 watered their first year of whenever they seem
 stressed. Once established they are very
 drought tolerant
 -having been through 2
 years of extreme drought here in
 ’12 and
 ’13.  They do appreciate extra water, but are
 very tolerant of heat, sun and drought.
      Mine grow in fine grained clay
 soil, but
 I do mulch and add compost around
 the base to retain some
 moisture.
 
      Your
 raised beds sound excellent.     We
 have strong winds
 here too -not a problem.
 Wishing you good luck and wild
 success, then
 on to even more varieties of these fascinating
 Crinums.
 
  
    Perhaps
 some other Northern CA
 members can share their experiences
 with
 Crinum.
 
 
 Ordering is very simple. Read Dell’s
 instructions and send
 him an email direct
 to     ds429@frontier.com
 Include "BX 365" in the subject line
 and list your
 requests.  Dell will confirm
 your order and send them ASAP
 with a bill to
 PBS. Prices are VERY reasonable and listed
 some where on the PBS site.   Would
 some one send
 this info to Joey and
 prospective other new members ?
 
      Dell is very easy to
 communicate with about BX orders and Arnold
 keeps track of
 the Treasury so it is very
 easy to know where your order and
 payments
 stand. You’ll find it so easy and the BX lists so
 tempting you may start  something !
 
      Hope you have
 success and enjoyment from
 these seeds.   
          Best        Jim W.

 Hello
 James,
 This will be my first time ordering
 seeds
 (bulbs) through PBS and I would like
 to try your Crinum
 seeds.         
    Any suggestions for success?
 
 
 How do I
 place my order.
 I have my $5.00 off coupon
 for my first BX order that I will
 mail with
 my payment!
 Sincerely,
 Joey
 Russell

 10. Crinum
 bulbispermum, Jumbo strain  This
 selection
 has been reliably hardy in my Zone 5/6 garden for
 over a decade without protection. Winters are
 routinely
 below 0 F.
 Directions for planting success.
 Press the large seeds into your planting mix,
 do not
 cover.
 In colder
 climates such as mine the
 seedlings need
 extra winter protection for the 1st and 2nd
 winter.
 Grow in full sun. Plant
 appreciate
 extra water and good drainage.
 Over all easy to grow and
 long lived.
 Enjoy.
 
 
 Jim W.
