Exotic Plant Show

The EPS 2001 has been cancelled due to a lack of exhibitors and the potential financial risk of not having a decent 
show.

MEETINGS

The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 26th September at 8:00pm and will be held in the Christchurch 
YMCA conference room. Parking is available in the YMCA carpark - access from Cashel St.

Important bits regarding seed: 
- When ordering seed, make sure you include an S.A.E. 
- Seed costs $1.00 per packet. 
- Cheques should be made out to NZCPS-Christchurch Branch.
- If you wish to donate seed, please put the harvest date on it and ensure that
it is free of floral parts - this will make the job of the seed-bank director
that much easier. Once any donated seed has been divided up into saleable 
packets you will be credited with 1 packet of free seed for every 3 packets 
that result from your donation. 

Seed orders and donations should be sent to:
Fern Norton
Seed Bank Director 
P.O. Box 7 Sefton 
North Canterbury

Alternatively the seed-bank should be available at most meetings. 


Library 
The NZCPS Christchurch branch now has the beginnings of a small library. The books will be available 
at meetings and may be borrowed for one month for the princely sum of $2.00. Titles obtained so far include:
The Savage Garden by Peter D'Amato
Carnivorous Plants by Adrian Slack 
Carnivorous Plants of Australia Volume 3 by Allen Lowrie 

Marketplace
Is your collection missing one or two vital additions? Do you have a surplus of plants and need some room? Send
in your CP-related buy/sell/exchange ads and they'll be placed both in the newsletter and on the NZCPS Christchurch 
Branch website for free.
