NY Chapter Favorites

by Jim Fry

The respondents to the recent "good doer" survey chose the following plants as their "favorites". In the Elepidote category, Gigi and Scintillation tied for the most votes while Janet Blair and Taurus came in second. Ginny Gee and Mary Fleming tied for first place with mucronulatum, Patty Bee, and PJM coming in second in the Lepidotes. In the Deciduous Azalea group, vaseyi just nudged out atlanticum for most chosen. Ben Morrison and Deleware Valley White took first and second in the Evergreen Azaleas.

I wish to thank Frank & Gay Arsen, Patricia & Werner Brack, Howard Mason, Gerhard Kuenecke, Bud Gehnrich, Hanna Kennedy, George Woodard, Dick & Betty Becker, the Fellers, Carol Fry, Alice Ford, Dennis Stallone, Ray Kruse, Mr. & Mrs. Don Garber, Bob Emmerich, and Dr. & Mrs. Kenneth Foley for taking the time to fill out their survey forms. -JDF
