2017 National NCS Show dates:
The Portland Chapter of the NCS will be hosting the National Convention again at the Monarch Hotel on October 26-29, 2017. Please contact ECA member Tamara Bliley with any questions.
ECA Cultivars:
Please bring a list of the stools YOU have so we can update our ECA Cultivars list. Below is Don Starks grow list from last year. Please look it over and let Ronnie, Sue, or Steve Joyner know if there are some cultivars you would like to take cuttings from so we can keep these in captivity!!!
Ideally we would have two or three members take cutting from each stool to maximize chances of survival.

*DRS Opinion: Keith Luxford was reclassified from a #2 to #1 recently. I wish to make an ECA exception for this , keeping it as a #2.
Rationale: Almost nobody has been able to grow Luxfords to the normal size of a #1 and we need more #2 varieties. years.
ECA Cultivars:
Few of us were as thorough as Don, but please make a list of the cultivars you have and bring it to the January meeting so we can update our Club cultivar list.
NOTICE: If you are growing mums that ARE not listed, in our CULTIVARS of ECA PINCH LIST, please let Ronnie, Mark, or Steve B know what plants they are, if you wish to show them at the National Show in 2017.
