Celeste,
Have you searched the National Agricultural Library (NAL) site of the USDA?
It is called AGRICOLA for AGRICultural OnLine Access. Go to
http://www.nal.usda.gov/ag98/ follow the instructions and enter your
keywords. You can then look up the citations in your library, order the
publications you can't find through interlibrary loan, or order them through
the NAL. Please contact me off of the list if I can be of any further
assistance. Good luck!
Best regards, Scott

Celeste,
There's also a book, "Tropical Foliage Plants: A Grower's Guide" by Lynn
Griffith (1998) that might be useful. Lynn Griffith is President
of A & L Southern Agricultural Laboratories in Pompano Beach, FL, and
should be easy to reach, just do a web search on the company name.

In the plant propagation class I am taking this quarter, the term paper
assignment is to write about propagating a species; the student gets to
select the species for the paper. It needs to be a species that would be
suitable for a relatively large greenhouse operation for commercial sales.
Since I am interested in aroids and Hawaii, I chose Anthurium.
Does anybody have journal-type articles (this teacher is an academic snob
and won't accept anything from "Sunset," etc.) or other references about
approaches to propagating Anthurium commercially that I could
borrow/access/whatever?
I've already harvested what the University of Hawaii has available on their
website and affiliated websites, but I need references from other sources,
as well.
