Re: [nafex] GRIN germplasm

I've been getting material from GRIN for years and years. I usually
explain in a few sentences the trial that I'm doing and that I'm
independent and looking to find cultivars that are best suited for the
area I live in. I've never gotten any push back or response, tho a
couple times when I explained the particular result I was looking for,
the person who packed my order included other material that they
thought would work well for me. An amazing resource, tho a few things
like dormant hardy kiwi cuttings and fall leaf stems of elderberries
failed for me since I don't have any mist propagation set up.

> 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?
