North American Fruit Explorers mailing list at ibiblio

[David W Hausmann <wizard2468@juno.com>]

'Ello, All!
        I have attached the list of trees from last year for anyone who may be
interested as there are over 70 trees and shrubs available in Missouri
for spring delivery.
        Also, I subscribe to an e-forum through Seeds of Change for organic
gardeners and I was wondering if anyone would object if I recommended
this list to that list?  Now that this list appears to have effectively
policed itself, I was thinking that the more people on the list the
greater the possibility of getting new members and new subscribers.  I
will wait a few days to give everyone a chance to comment before I send
out an e-mail to that list.  Just trying to help.  Love, Peace and
Perception
