Name: Mike Hazel Crest, IL (Zone 6a) "Have no patience for bare ground"
Mr John Benz is not well. I haven't heard anything lately on his condition. One of his family members posted a brief message on FB saying that he was ill. My last correspondence with him about shipping a seedling of his that I won on the LA early summer was that he was on the way to the hospital.
A couple renown Hybridizers past away recently.
