HI all,
I also have a problem with that Rosalie. We have a club located close by that
sells seedlings of a local hybridizer to the public as well. I just think
it's unethical to do this because we shouldn't be adding to the unknown pool.
Maybe someone needs to write an article for the AIS Bulletin to stress this
to the clubs and it's members. This could possibly be done by a board member
which would give more credit to the article.
