   #1. Why are there so many Hostas being sold to the public that aren't
 registered?

   I have bought some really nice Hostas, only to find that they aren't
 registered.  >>


SUE????

WHAT'S THE POINT....REGISTERED OR NOT, IT'S A HOSTA.......[OR IS THAT "AN
HOSTA"????....LOL]

I BELIEVE YOUR PROBLEM, AS A NEWBIE TO THE HOSTA WORLD IS THAT YOU ARE NOT
BUYING HOSTA FROM THE PRIMO SUPPLIERS....

NO HOSTA MAVEN, IN THEIR RIGHT MIND GETS THE PRIMO STUFF FROM THE LOCAL
NURSERY......UNLESS YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO LIVE BY A HOSTAHOLIC NURSERY.....

IF YOU ARE HARD-CORE....AND YOU ARE WELL ON YOUR WAY!!!!....YOU GET ALL THE
GOOD STUFF IN THE MAIL.....JUST LIKE PRIMROSE IN THE MAIL....

LET ME ASSURE YOU THAT THE NURSERY PEOPLE ON THE HOSTA ROBIN AND ON THIS LIST
WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH PROPERLY NAMED HOSTA....REGISTERED OR NOT......I TRUST,
WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT ROBYN KNOWS THE NAME OF EVERY HOSTA IN HER YARD....AND A
THOUSAND OTHERS....[BTW, I NEVER ORDERED FROM HER, SO THIS IS NOT A
SOLICITATION ON MY PART.....]....AND SHE WILL SEND YOU TRUE TO NAME HOSTA...

GO TO WAL-MART, ON THE OTHER HAND, AND YOU WILL GET NON-DESCRIPT, MIS-LABELED
HOSTA......

SO, IN CLOSING.....CONSIDER YOUR SOURCE, AS THE ROOT OF YOUR PROBLEM.....

SOOOOO.....GET OUT THE NEW HOSTA JOURNAL.....GET 30 ENVELOPS....AND 30 ONE
DOLLAR BILLS.....ON A QUARTER SHEET OF PAPER WRITE 'I SAW YOUR ADD IN THE
JOURNAL, ENCLOSED IS MOOLAH...SEND CATALOG"....MAKE 10 COPIES AT KINKO'S...CUT
INTO QUARTERS....STUFF REQUISITE MOOLAH INTO ENVELOP WITH THE NOTE....AND BY
MARCH YOU WILL HAVE 30 CATALOGS.....LET ME TELL YOU, THIS WILL COST YOU A LOT
OF MONEY AFTER YOU ORDER ONE PLANT FROM EACH OF THEM.....

LATER....KEN....
