| Where did you hear of it? No entry or pictures in the Library. The Registry has a Hosta named John Deere Green and Yellow. I assume that's it. It was registered in 2010 by F. Freeman and the clump is only 3 years old in Davenport, IA. I doubt if it's on the market. Somebody here might have it, but I doubt it. Not surprisingly, it's green with a gold/yellow margin. Why are you interested in it? Steve |

| Where does the Hosta Finder say it can be purchased? Obviously at that price it's OS, a piece of the original clump probably. Steve |

| green gold is a VERY OLD name.. and i think it is just one of the older ones under a new name ... and as i recall.. it is rather non-descript ...compared to todays plants ... someone might want to check the old shcmid tome ... i found green gold .. see link.. i am proud to say.. that i was sold it under each name listed there.. so much for seller honesty ... man i wasted money pre WWW days.. when you couldnt research this stuff.. but for a bunch of single spaced pages in what was then a catalog ... not aware of 'green and yellow' ... and that is probably not a legit name.. as it is not unique to the plant.. it simply states the obvious ... ken

Here is a link that might be useful: its in the library ...

(one of which was owned by my father and grandfather before him) ken, "John Deere" is part of the name if it is a nice plant worth 50 bucks,,,i think it would be "cool" to have it i guess i will have to call "Franc's" to see if he can send a picture jill a href="http://s24.photobucket.com/albums/c17/Hostalover_/?action=view¤

| Love the bike. That is a lugged steel beauty with a turbine powered light. You are right. That scene needs a Hosta. Good luck in your search. Steve |

| Hey, I hope you have a John Deere tractor mailbox? Now THAT would be neat. If not a mailbox at the street, get a big ole mailbox and paint it right, put the wheels on it, etc, and put your gardening tools or hosta notebook inside. Good luck with your theme garden. Get a John Deere triangle flag to go on the back of your bike. |
