Subject: [NAFEX] Raspberry seed offer


> Recently there was a thread from someone looking for raspberries. In
the
> course of the discussion, Dr. Parmar from India offered material (seed, I
> believe) of a raspberry species from India. Someone else objected to the
> offer as a sort of commercialization.
> Since there are people on this list who are not members of NAFEX, it's
> worth pointing out that NAFEX has had a long tradition of an Exchange Page
> in it's journal, POMONA, in which members can make plant material
available
> for trade or for a small price, usually just about enough to pay for the
> postage and the member's time in sending it.
> In this case, it seemed that what Dr. Parmar was doing was in the same
> spirit as the Exchange Page, since he was hardly posting a huge ad or
> demanding an exhorbitant fee, and what he was offering was relevant to the
> thread to which it was connected.
> There are many members of NAFEX who have nurseries or large collections
> of certain species and I fail to see that there is any harm in them being

> to note it in the signature. Most members have enough common sense to
know
