Hosta Seed TRADING (seed for seed) = ANYONE?

***FREE TRADE*** HOSTA SEED IS AVAILABLE FOR STRAIGHT TRADING (seed for seed with no money needed).
I am interested in other than hosta seeds therefore, if you have something you might like to trade me for hosta-seeds, then please tell me about it -- Daylily (hem-seed?) is my second favorite to hostas?  Below is my partial listing, first draft, of hosta seed stored in freezer right now.  Please note that: hosta seed stored frozen, will keep germination viability in tact for 20 years.
