>>We have been linking our site (WinterberryFarms.com) to the pictures in 
>>the Hosta Library.  From the controversy that has occurred in the Robins, 
>>I think it is better that I get permission from the picture owners to 
>>make these links.

>>Originally, Bob and I felt that because I link to the whole page, not 
>>just the picture on the page, that it was good advertising for the Hosta 
>>Library.  The picture owner, is obviously credited by linking to the 
>>whole page.  However, I do no want to use your pictures, by the links, if 
>>you do not want me to.  I would appreciate your permission to make the 
>>links to your pictures in the Hosta Library.  I do not copy the pictures 
>>in any way, just provide links.  We are wholesale only, so we do not 
>>compete with any Retail nursery (I would hope to provide tissue cultured 
>>plants to all such nurseries).
