[SHADEGARDENS] We're new members!

     Hello Shade Gardeners.

     My wife and I do our shade gardening within the small yard of our
     condominium townhouse. We belong to both the AHS and the New England
     Hosta Society (NEHS). Most of our hostas are those that are are common
     to the trade, but we take good care of them. Since we are among only
     about three or four gardeners in our 324 unit condominium who would
     recognize a registered hosta by name or appearence, we are trying to
     introduce our neighbors to this plant. I have a semi-retired neighbor
     who is, I'll bet, drooling over Paul Aden's 'The Hosta Book' as I
     write. He used to work for a plant nursery on the Cape and has a very
     limited knowledge of hostas. We are trying to grow some hosta seed-
     lings this winter. After one-and-a-half weeks there is not a lot to
     report. The NEHS is going to have a cut-leaf show in June. We hope to
     enter several of our plants in this show at Tower Hill, Boylston.
     We have above-average luck with H. 'Great Expectations' and received
     recognition of this when we were awarded an informal prize in an
     informal cut-leaf show in early Fall. Well, nice to meet you!

              Scott and Liz Little
