Seed Source


In private correspondence, Juri introducted me to a wholesale seed
source [Agbina] in Russia who is well know to many in the seed industry.
I am told that he is a very successful businessman who drives a
Cadillac!  I contacted Alexey V. Chernetsky directly
[<alex@agbina.msk.ru>] and asked him for a list of the iris seeds that
he distributes. For your information, here it is:-

Prices are in USD free Moscow.
