ARS Seed list 2008



Not started The Exchange is accepting seed for the 2008 catalog. The cut-off date is Dec. 1, 2007, however, we will be flexible about receiving seed after this date. If you have a seed contribution please send to: ARS Seed Exchange PO Box 284 East Quogue, NY 11942 - 0284 USA Examples of seed wanted to the ARS exchange
Mostly hand pollinated seeds (HP*) *all seed lots not marked are (HP), (HP) is not written.
  • op = Open pollinated
  • cp = Controlled Pollination, which differs from HP in that the stigma is physically covered after pollination. This covering is meant to act as an extra protection against accidental contamination with unknown pollen.
  • cw = Collected in wild All seed lots not marked 'selfed', 'cp', 'cw', 'op', or 'op, self fertile' are hand pollinated, hp will not be written. Some contributors have supplied us with a list of "little known hybrids" they have used. This list will immediately follow the contributor's seed lot numbers. Every effort is made to avoid spelling errors; species are listed under the name supplied by the contributor and thus vary as to classification system. Not all hybrid names are registered or found in other reference works.
  • S.O. = Sold out or = 2044. Version Febr 3 2008
