Interested in large trades, no SASEs, sorry. Ostrich ferns are too heavy. I'm mailing out once in late March/early april.
I have to trade -
Ostrich fern - huge, heavy, soil-on, fully mature beautiful ferns ready to burst into glory in your garden, 3 will fit in a box. Will spread if happy.
gray dogwood (very ugly shrub, perfect for wet ground and birds)
red-twig dogwood - cuttings for you to stick in the ground. VERY easy to propogate this way. Rooted if you insist
feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium ) - neat little plants.
Bee balm, Monarda 'Jacob Cline' - VERY fast grower. Very tall monarda or bee balm cultivar, 5 feet, fingernail polish red. In three years in a moist, well drained, sunny spot, three plants turned into a stand 4' wide.
For more details, http://www.magnoliagardensnursery.com/productdescrip/Monarda_Jacob.html
What I'd like --
Monarda (any except red cultivars)
coneflowers, cornflowers
butterfly weed
milkweed
any native woodland wildflowers
just about any natives
Michigan lily (lilium michiganense)
round-leaved sundew (Drosera rotundifolia),
trailing arbutus (Epigaea repens),
cutleaf and two-leaf toothworts,
spring beauty,
starflower,
blue-bead lily
buttercups
wild leeks or ramps
Cowslip (Caltha palustris)
Fawn lily (Erythronium americanum)
Bellwort (Uvularia grandiflora)
Nodding trillium (Trillium cernuum)
Red elderberry (Sambucus pubens)
Two-leaved Toothwort (Dentaria diphylla)
Wild leek (Allium tricoccum)

| I would be very interested in the ostrich fern, red bergamot and red twig dogwood. I have buttercup, virginia waterleaf (have in lots of places that aren't wet lands), jewelweed,lots of violets (purple, yellow, white and blue woodland types), trillium, maybe some toothwarts, woodland phlox and other items. Only thing is will be a week or so before can go to my other place and get them. Will be going and moving alot of things over then. If you are interested, plmk. Will be sure those are things I bring in the first load when things are up good. Thanks, Melinda |

| due to the size of the ostrich fern, I can send many items for the 3 I wanted. I can send alot of spring beauty, violets, and others instead of just a couple. The trillium I can send are trillium pusillum var. ozarkanum and another one with mottled dark leaves and red top. Thanks, Melinda |

Hi,I am interested in your jacob cline monarda, red twig dogwood cuttings and maybe a osterich fern or two. I have several different kinds of coneflowers that I started from seed this year that are big enough to send and also some wild bergamot that has lavender flowers that I can send and some cranesbill that grows wild here that I could trade.

I just noticed you may have some gooseberries available, so if you can get them I'd be interested in those and everything I've mentioned in the above post.
