Hi there, new to the site and forums!
Long time hosta grower here with a new found interest in growing them and eventually trying my hand at hybridizing. I wondered if there were any books or places out there (besides this forum of course!) to start getting really educated? Such a great hobby with so many different facets!
Books regarding hosta hybridizing?

Re: Books regarding hosta hybridizing?
I've assembled a "Hosta Hybridizer's Notebook" which has all the info you'll need. It contains 112 pages, a table of contents, and 80 color photos. I can send a notebook to you...it costs me $24 to print a copy (because of all the color copies), plus $6 shipping. You will need to supply your own three-ring binder. (I do not make any profit off the notebook.) If interested, you can contact me at donrawson@juno.com
