Re: CULT: Harpin Protein

Messenger! That's the stuff! Thanks for jogging my memory, Sally! I was
looking at my (very pathetic) rose bush the other day (actually I have four
rose bushes, but only one looks like it has any life left in it) and I
thought about the pamphlet I picked up in the garden store, about something
I wanted to try on the roses, but the name completely escaped me.

I thought you were supposed to start it when the plants were first coming up
or starting to bloom, so by the time I found out about it last year, it was
too late. Then this year I couldn't come up with the name...

So, I have not sprayed irises or anything else wiht it, but I am curious
about it, too.

Cheryl Leigh (really wondering if her garden has warped into another
dimension, or at least a colder zone on the zone map...it's not looking very
zone-6-ish)
