Fwd: HYB: CULT: reselect seedlings & trash




I have a beautiful, tough, reliable rejected seedling from a local
hybridizer, given away during one of our plant sales before we were told
we 'shouldn't' do that (official word from AIS).  He was not donating
'junk' iris seedlings, only ones that didn't meet his hybridizing needs
or match his standards for introduction...

Is this a new policy of AIS?

I think the best way to get rid of seedling rhizomes at a sale is to put them in the 'unknown/for color only box.'  Some people even call it the landscape iris box, but then we have people who are hybridizing for landscape irises.  Call the seedlings 'unknown' and let them go if you don't want to shred them.
