Notes:
1. Photo references etc. relevant to the internet catalog have been removed from this hard copy listing. Photos of many of
the hybrids and species listed in this hard copy catalog can be viewed at either www.rhododendron.dk/alfabet.html (species),
www.hirsutum.info or at the ARS web site www.rhododendron.org
Every effort has been made to avoid spelling errors; species are listed by the name supplied by the contributor and thus
may vary from the 2010 classification system. Not all hybrid names are registered or found in other reference works.
2. We would like to thank all the seed contributors for without their participation, there would not be a seed exchange.
Also we thank our volunteers for their hours spent cleaning, packaging and cataloging this 2011 listing. Thanks to
Bob Weissman, ARS webmaster and Hans Eiberg, Danish webmaster for on-line catalog versions. Thanks to Carol Segree
for printing, our proof readers, Werner Brack and Bob Weissman who read and corrected my typos and entry errors.
Seed cleaning and packaging of over five thousand seed packets were done by Jean and Norman Beaudry.
3. Hard Copy Catalogs will be mailed to 2011 contributors without access to email and the electronic copy of the catalog and
to ARS members requesting a copy.
4. The Pollen-to-Seed Program. Seed contributors are entitled request up to $50. in pollen from the Rhododendron Species
Foundation. If you think that you will need and can justify additional pollen for your breeding program, send your
request to the SE Chairman
