<strong>ARS</strong> POLLEN BANK<br />
The <strong>ARS</strong> Pollen Bank exists to provide hybridizers with pollen from plants they do not or cannot grow themselves. Voluntary<br />
contributions of pollen are sent to me anytime during the year, where they are recorded and kept dry and frozen. PLEASE DONATE!<br />
If you would like collection and storage information, I have an instruction sheet available by e-mail (preferably), fax or snail mail.<br />
Once a year, usually around January, I send out a list of pollen sent to me during the previous year, including donor information, to<br />
anyone who: ordered pollen in the past, donated pollen, or requested a list during the past few years.<br />
The current price for a capsule of pollen is $3.00, plus $1.00 per order for shipping. This money just barely pays for supplies, this is<br />
not a profit-making venture for the Society.<br />
I keep excess pollen from previous years, but have not listed it again. Much of this pollen is probably still good, as I have used 3 and 4<br />
year old pollen with success. Exactly how long it can remain viable I have no way to know. If there is something you want and don't<br />
see on the current list, ask I may have it. Also, if you have interesting plants, would like to share pollen but don't want to collect it, I<br />
could put together a list of gardens where people could collect pollen themselves with your permission. For example, Hank<br />
Schannen's large collection in NJ is open by appointment for this.<br />
If you would like a list, contact me:<br />

Some general conclusions can be drawn here as to what is popular: indumented species, big leaf species and their hybrids, dwarf<br />
species, especially hardy species. Also popular are good red flowered species and hybrids, and good yellow flowered hybrids,<br />
especially hardy ones.
