Many thanks. > > Guanghua > > Mr. Scherberich: We have been reasonably sucessful in sending seeds through the regular mail to places as far away as Australia but simply removing the sugar-containing pericarp and mesocarp, then wrapping them in a bit of regular newspaper and enveloping in small plastic bags. Then they are mailed in a regular envelope with sheets of bubble-pack. Shipments of several weeks do not seem to affect them this way. We have a large collection of Anthurium and do get fruit production on some owing to our own pollination efforts. Could you send us a list of the species you have and what you might be willing to accept. The cost to you would not be excessive since we are not a commercial nursery but we would have to reimbursed for the preparation and shipping costs. We don't always have the time to collect and process material but if we knew of your interest we are sometimes able to entertain the possibility of sending seed. Tom +More Thomas B. Croat, P. A.
