Comments/Questions SRGC Seed Ex. List No, 65

[razvan chisu]

I received today in the post the AGS seed list, and having used both the SRGC and AGS online ordering form (both very easy and useful), I suggest there should be in the future the option of receiving the seed list as a pdf file.
I'm sure printing and posting the lists for so many members is quite expensive, and I for one would gladly give up the printed edition.
I would even go as far as to suggest to receive the bulletins in a pdf form (which would result in a much cheaper membership fee), but maybe that is too radical.

I'd be very happy not to receive a printed list tho' I think people could be given the option as some still prefer to read the paper list and some are not happy working with it Online. However, I really DO want to get my Journals/Bulletins in the post. There's something so luxurious about all that printed, good quality paper and pictures, as well as which one can take them to bed or to the doc's waiting room and can refer back easily at any time, even years later.

Razvan, all the recent SRGC seedlists, including the present one, are available on the site as pdfs to download.   
Many do still prefer the paper list but lots of UK members who are happy with only a pdf  get it direct from the website... as indeed, do a great many overseas members, even thoug hthey are sent a paper list automatically.

Maggy, I know. That's why I suggested that people that want to, may opt-out receiving the printed list.
I would for one. If nothing else, it's more environmentaly friendly.
Anyway, at the moment I am eagerly waiting for the seeds themselves.

I was wondering how I might figure what listing 2173 might look like.  It is described as Impatiens sp. ex CC6856.  Where would I find the CC listing?
thanks (and please thank all who are involved in the creation, maintenance and distribution of this wonderful seed exchange)

Hello Susan, and welcome to the Forum!

CC denotes a Chris Chadwell collection so I think he would be the best source of information. I'll send you his contact details.

[Lesley Cox]

Excellent news from Ian B than the distribution has started. Something to look forward to, and in our case, anticipate the annual tussle with MAF! I hope he and his cohorts have something liquid and perhaps something chocolatey to fortify themselves for the duration.

But it is nice to look forward to the post on the mat when I get home, as it might contain something interesting for once!

Thankyou to all the seed team.

Pleased you got some goodies, Rob.... it is usually the best idea to add plenty second choices, though.
Makes  it easier for the Seedy Folks!
