others.

genera]

> 5. Aroids on E-Bay: Tips and Cautions about Buying and Selling On-Line.
> 6. Aroid Photography: Aesthetic and Scientific Pointers.
> 7. Hybridization of Aroids for the Amateur Enthusiast.
> 8. Landscaping with Aroids and Advice on Grounds Maintenance.
> 9. Successful Storage of Dormant Tubers.
> 10. Harvesting, Storage, and Germination of Aroid Seeds.
> 11. Tissue Culture: A Step-By-Step Introduction to Mass Cloning.
> 12. Artificial Lighting for Aroid Culture.
> 13. Coaxing Inflorescences from Reluctant Bloomers.
> 14. Native Cold Climate Aroids of North America [or Europe, or Anatolia,
or
> Asia].
> 15. Some Scientific Mysteries about Aroids.
> 16. What is Known about Aroid Odor and Fragrance.
> 17. Insect Pollination and Seed Dispersal: Partners in the Natural History

experience that you had with quite a few plants, they have enough strength
to make it through one year but not the next.
