ESP Jonquils
Autumn is bulb planting time and few bulbs are easier to grow than jonquils and narcissus. Yates has released a collection of jonquils for 2001. The ESP Collection is a combination of three all-time favourite fragrant jonquils and narcissus: cream Erlicheer, yellow Soleil d’Or and white Paperwhites. Forty cents from each packet sold goes to Retina Australia to help fund research into Retinitis Pigmentosa, a hereditary disease that attacks the retina, or light-sensitive portion of the eye. There is no cure for the disease which causes progressive loss of vision and total blindness in many cases.
Further information
The ESP Jonquil Collection is available at nurseries. A packet of 6 bulbs costs $6.54 and 40 cents from each sale goes to Retina Australia. For more information call Yates Customer Service on 1300 369 074 or visit their website at www.yates.com.au
