General Guidelines
1.
The NALS Seed Exchange Catalog will be mailed by conventional mail to members
who requested a paper copy. Copies will be mailed to Donors first, then to
overseas members, then to Canadian and
2. We will continue to accept Visa and Master Card as a form of payment. Take time to ensure your card information is correct and legible. PayPal will be accepted again this year. Please read the ordering procedures section below!
3. We are again offering bonus seed to all donors. One (1) free packet will be given for every seed number you have listed. (Maximum of three (3) packets.)
4. Pictures! With the assistance of select donors, we have posted some pictures of the parents of the seeds on the NALS web site. Photos will be on the web site with the list, (no more hunting for the image!). Click on the thumbnail image to view a larger depiction of the flower, use your back button to return to the list.
5. Descriptions! We have tried to include as much of a description as the donor has provided. The better the description, the more likely someone will find a reason to purchase the seed. We assume most of you have access to copies of the RHS International Lily Register; lily books, etc. such that you can look up a description of named lilies. If you do not have the International Lily Register, you can purchase it from the RHS or access the web site created by Gerry Danen at www.lilyregister.com and click on Lily Register.
6. Whenever you see a donor remember to thank them for the effort they have put into making the Seed Exchange possible. If the donor took the extra time and effort to submit photos thank them for that additional effort as well! It is the fervent desire of many of the donors that those of you who purchase some of their seed continue their work. Please consider doing so. If you have success with someone’s material, let him or her hear about it. Everyone likes hearing about his or her offspring!!
"Thank You" to the following donors:
Robert Griesbach for his ever popular tetraploids. Robert sent a priority shipping box full of his genetic material. All wonderfully candles and ready to be instilled from his garden to yours.
Robert Barnard donated a great selection of Division 4 hybrids, which is in short supply or non existent in previous years.
Darm Crook from the great white north in Canada, who grows a great selection of species has donated a selection of species seed and hybrids of interspecifics that will tantelize many.
Forrest Peiper also donates a varied selection of wonderful crosses, Joe Nemmer has many crosses from varied sources and Brian Bergman for his OT crosses. I could go on and on with appreciative comments for all our donors. It is through the various seed exchanges from all the plant societies, iris, rock garden, lilies, etc… that the hybridizers have the ability to reach around the world and plant a seed of hope, beauty and love into your garden for you to enjoy. It is there in every seed we distribute.
A Big Thank you to all those who contribute!
7. Some Disclaimers. Every effort has been made to inspect seed and to ensure that the seed you purchase has visible embryos. Where seed is very small, dark, or where embryos are hard to distinguish we have tried to give some indication of this fact. If you wish clearly visible embryos do not order from these lots. In some cases extra seed has been given to compensate for these conditions.
You may experience reduced germination from some tetraploid crosses. You may also note that tetraploids do not grow as rapidly as diploids do. We have not attempted to compensate for these deficiencies by including extra seed as there is more intrinsic value in tetra seed and the reward from tetras is in the size and form of the resulting plant. You may experience significantly reduced germination from interdivisional offerings.
8. Seed
Listings
Seeds are listed by Division and identified by seed number, donor, and description. The seed numbers are interpreted in this way. The first digit identifies the Lily Division or category; the second digit gives the year of the sale (1 for 2011). The other digits identify the seed lot itself. This code establishes a unique number for each lot for ten years.
Seed Ordering Procedures
Please read this section carefully. By following the instructions and suggestions given below you will have the best chance of getting the seeds you want in the shortest possible time. Please follow the directions given in the “Auction” section if you wish to bid on auction items.
1. Order by mail, or email (phone or fax orders not accepted).
2. Conventional Mail Orders: Use the order form attached. Order by catalog # only and list your 2nd and 3rd choices (please do not repeat any numbers from the first column as your 2nd or 3rd choices). Be reasonable in your expectations about your chances on small and desirable lots; if you are not a donor, desirable lots containing only a few packets typically sell out within the first 20 or 30 orders (mostly from donors who order early). If you pay by credit card, you may request that your order be reduced to whatever we can supply and we will recalculate your charge for packets and shipping. A small receipt will be included for charge orders to show the billed amount. Keep a record of your order, as order blanks will not be returned.
3. Electronic Ordering: You have several options:
- You may scan your paper copy of the filled in order blank and email it to me.
- You may download the form from the website, fill it out and email it to me.
- Your order will be filled in the order received (including mailed in orders) and held pending payment. Seeds will be shipped when we receive payment. Payment can be made by conventional mail for: checks, bank drafts or credit card information. Customers are encouraged to use PayPal, as we will ship as soon as we receive notification.
4. Send payment in
- Visa and Master Card (only!) are accepted. PayPal

your check “U.S. Funds”, do not calculate monetary exchange rate), Money
Orders in

5. Pricing. Seed is priced at $1.05 per packet for 2011. .55 cents per packet for previous year’s seed. Included are these additional postage and supply charges:
1- 20 packets: U.S. $1.50 21 - 40 packets: U.S. $2.50 40 - 50 packets: U.S. $3.00 50 + packets: U.S. $4.00
Please calculate these charges based on the number of packets ordered.
6. Limitations. The following limitations are intended to make desirable seeds available to as many members as possible. The filling of seed orders is still on a first-come-first-serve basis, but the chance is better that the seed you desire will still be here when your order arrives. However, when there are only a few packets of seed, the earlier your order arrives the better your chances.
a. The limit on packets for any individual seed number is: 1
b. The limit for this year’s seed is 30 Seed Packets. There is no limit on the previous year’s seed.
7. Some members may want more seeds than the above limitations allow. We will accommodate those members with the following procedure. For orders of this year’s seed that exceed 30 seed packets, we will fill your order up to the first 30 seed packets and then suspend your order until May 1, 2011 before completing it. The initial fill will be held until after May 1, 2011 unless you include postage or two separate mailings. Please be sure to include alternate choices if you wish to use this option.
Abbreviations: These abbreviations are used in the list: OP = open pollinated, HP = hand pollinated, PP = protected pollination.
(Note: We have assumed that most hybridizers use some means to ensure that their intended cross is protected from previous or unintended pollinations. All of these crosses could be labeled as protected pollination. We have just omitted this designation unless we have been made aware otherwise by the donor), sdg./sdlg = seedling, IE = immediate epigeal, DE = delayed epigeal, IH =immediate hypogeal, DH = delayed hypogeal, w/ = with, OT, O/T = an Oriental/ Trumpet hybrid. Most others are basic. Enjoy this seed list!
Auction Items
The deadline for receipt of auction bids is April 15,
2011. Please, the highest bidders will receive one packet each. If there are
identical bids, the earliest one received will be the winner. Do not send money
for auction items: We will send seeds to the successful bidders along with an
invoice for payment.
