Has anyone developed a nursery handout on HVX?

I've also asked this on the HVX board but there's not a lot of activity there right now so I thought I'd post it here, too.

I'm giving a talk on HVX to my Master Gardener group next month. I was going to develop a 1-or 2 page handout that people could copy and give to nursery managers when they spot virused stock. I'm thinking maybe a page of information and website references (including of course, this forum) and maybe a page of photos.

Before I take the time to do that, I thought I'd ask if anyone else has already done it . . . or if not, would it be something you'd find useful?

What a great idea, Arlene! I would find it useful! An email format may be helpful, too, as it could be sent quickly and at no cost, to a large number of nurseries that have websites....? Great idea!

Check the Hosta Library. There's a notice on the first HVX page you get that encourages reproduction...why reinvent the wheel?

Charla, that's our dearly departed Rottie girl 'Karo Sioux', miss her truly. You can meet her, her mom and her brothers @ http://www.resteddoginn.ca/furry.php...

Pieter, I understand. I lost my precious rottie, Madison, 11/27/01 and I still can't talk about it. She was only 7 - had a reaction to some unknown...flea treatment, food, not sure. I have never met a kinder soul than Madison, not human, animal or otherwise. There isn't a better dog than a well-bred, well-trained Rottie.

I briefly looked at your web page. I have seen some of those pics before, in books and stuff. I'll look more later, I'd like to go thru it all....

Rotts have really gotten a bad rap...

That's a good one, Willowy. Especially since here most of what I have seen is in Striptease. Thanks!
