Might any of you have tips about ordering germplasm from GRIN? I'd like to 
order germplasm  but am a little bit unsure what to say when it comes to my 
research purposes. I'd like to think that what I am doing is something larger 
than gardening. I am doing some rudimentary breeding and evaluating all sorts 
of different crops for suitability to my climate and to growing in 
polyculture. But I am not really using the scientific method as such, nor am 
I in business. How well must I make my case for recieving germplasm?
