["David Doud" <doudone@netusa1.net>]

Phil,  I have a lady for whom I propagated some M-9 trees for espaliar
purposes - I do not have the resource you mention in this post - would you
consider copying  the pertinent section and sending it to me?  I would pay
for any costs incurred and for your time if you wish - thanks,  David Doud
