Hercules order and misc info

From: "James W. Waddick" <jim-jim at swbell.net> on 1997.07.29 at 13:25:22(1002) Dear Aroider; There is a minor change of procedure for those interested in ordering Zantedeschia "Hercules". Orders will be shipped directly from California thanks to fellow Aroid-L er Dan Levin who volunteered to buy plants at Western Hills and ship direct. This reduces the shipping cost since they won't have to go to Jim Waddick in Kansas City for distribution. Those individuals who've already contacted Dan directly about trades should skip to #6. 1. The orders for are closed. 2. So far we have orders from: Jim Waddick +More Michael Riley Mike McCaffery Alan Galloway Scott Verga Pat Nender Steve Marak Don Martinson Diana Nicholls Al Wooten Kerru Haworth Lester Kallus Roger Sieloff Don Bittel A total of 25 plants 3. Not all checks have been received; SEND MONEY NOW! 4. Checks made out to Jim Waddick will be cashed and sent to Dan. 5. If checks come in soon, orders could go out by August 4. Let's get this done quickly. 6. One glitch.... After some discussion at Western Hills (with special thanks to Sean O'Hara for making the discovery), it is unclear if the clone that is sold at the nursery is the true "Hercules". It is definitely a 7 ft monster calla, but may not be true to name. Confusion exists between Western Hills and Strybing Arboretum. Strybing records show 'Hercules' to have a spotted leaf, whereas the Western Hills 'Hercules' all have a solid color leaf. If this is enough to halt your order notify Jim or Dan ASAP or sooner!
