Re:Rosa Canina

That is so neat. I know that species roses do grow by seeds, but
never thought that someone would sell the seed.  I would be
interested in "sweetbrier" - r.eglanteria seeds. I will check with
Richters Herbs. 

I know that Ginseng is "stratified" in sand for a year, but that's
information I know little about. I will check tonight with "better
half", he know more about it, and will get back to you.
