SEEDS
This month, Bob Jurgens is offering Rice seeds (from Debbie’s plant- supply is limited.). If you are interested send, $1.00 per packet and an SASE to: Bob Jurgens, 116-32 227th St., Cambria Heights, NY 11411. Checks should be made payable to the Rare Pit and Plant Council. These seeds are large, so be sure to send a sturdy envelope.
Duane Campbell wrote us last year that he germinated rice seeds bought at his local health food store. He used the paper towel method of sprouting sprouts. The seeds developed a pedicel but, unfortunately, he let them dry out.
A Tip for the Environment
Those of us who use computers and printers produce a hazardous waste with our ink cartridges. Special recycling envelopes are available at the post office or business supply centers. You simply put your cartridges in the already addressed and stamped envelope and drop them in the mail.
