Chris...permission to use your article? :-)

I was at a nursery in Bloomington yesterday and noticed hostas that I am pretty sure were virused. I didn't have anything printed with me to back me up so I kept my mouth shut. I do have their mailing address - and even though I won't be down that way again this year - I thought I would send them information on the virus and ask them to please check their stock! Would you mind if I printed the 'Brief History' article and sent it along to them? I printed off stuff from the hosta library and First Look, too. Is there anything else I should send them? The plants were Striptease...they had some seriously funky blotching going on all over the place. I don't know much about the virus, but I am trying to be more aware. I'm just not real big on confronting people! But if I don't send them something, I'm gonna kick myself for the longest time. *sigh* Thanks for your help!

Yes, Dee, of course you can. I am still planning to continue it this week too.
