A very hearty welcome to the list, Ruth! It is always a pleasure to be
able to connect a name with ... (keystrokes?). I have had the benefit of
your very efficient service as HIPS publication director when I completed
my set of ROOTS ( a treasure!) and purchased some chronicles. Thank you
very much!
800 cultivars... WOW! And I won't inquire further about cats...I
understand how these things happen. :-)
Again, welcome, and enjoy the list!
