Priorities and Key Dates:
- Contributor orders will be filled first.
Set "Seed Contributor?" on order form page to "Yes".

American Rhododendron Society may order seed.
- Beginning April 2, 2008 the limit of one packet
only per lot number is eliminated.
- Special Closeout Sale: Beginning June
21, 2008
members and non-members may order any number of seed packets of available lot numbers
for $1.00 per packet with a 20 packet minimum (exception: no minimum for
contributors). Available seed lots will be shown in lists at this
web site. The special closeout sale ends on September 20, 2008.
- Distribution will begin only after orders are
received from the furthest regions and from those who have access to regular
mail service only.
- Please submit your order as soon as possible;
many lot numbers are in short supply.
- Seed is enclosed in tissue which is heat sealed
in plastic and labeled with lot number.
To Place Your Order:
- Go to Order Form
Page. List your first and second choice seed lot numbers in numeric
order. Also tell us if we may make additional substitutions. You
may select one packet of as many seed lots as you desire. Quantity of seed

exchange's completion of your order you will be emailed as to the amount due.
