Hi! I have Beefsteak Tomatoes, Straight Eight Cucumbers, Scarlet Nantes Carrots, Kentucky Wonder Beans, & Cherry Belle Radishes seeds! Packed for the 2012 Growing season! I would love some of both your seeds! Please let me know! Thanks, Mark

I would love to try your Jack-in-the-Pulpit for SASE. Unfortunately, I have no pepper seeds to offer. Thanks so much for the offer! Kathy

Hello I know this is a very old post but I would be very interested in working out an exchange for some jack-in-the-pulpits next early spring. I have tons of woodland plants and spring blooming bulbs

I have only seen this a few times in wild populations. There are two types of infection that can occur, foliar and systemic. Spores overwinter on the foliage, so removing the leaves should help prevent foliar infection the following year. Foliar infections show up on the leaves during the summer. The only way to eliminate the disease in systemically infected plants is to destroy the entire plant including the corm. Systemically infected plants will have deformed leaves when they emerge in the spring. In these plants the fungal mycelia get into the tissues and infect the corm, allow the fungus to overwinter on the plant. In wild populations the rate of systemic infection can be about 25%. The remainder seem to have some resistance to the disease. The disease does not infect the seeds.
