Sprague Lake (98-009s) collected on 9/16/98; Glacier Gorge (98-126s) collected on 10/3/98; McGraw (98-127s) collected on 12/4/98.
Pre-Planting Treatments: Seed treatments: None, cold.
Growing Area Preparation/
Annual Practices for Perennial Crops:		 Propagation Environment: Greenhouse, 65-70§F day/55§F night. Propagated on heat pad (set to 70§F) under tent with misters set 8 am-8 pm, with 10 sec/15 min watering intervals. One week after germination, seedlings were moved to mister area without tent.

Germination media: Fafard Germinating Mix (superfine).

Growing media: Fafard Growing Mix 2.

Sprague Lake (98-009s) sowed 10/27/98; Spargue Lake (98-125s) sowed 12/4/98; Long's Peak Campground (98-128s) sowed 12/4/98; Glacier Gorge (98-126s) sowed 12/4/98; McGraw (98-127s) sowed 12/4/98.
Establishment Phase: Sowing/planting technique: Manually sowed in seed flat, 5-10 seeds/slot, seed lightly covered with germinating mix.


Time to germination: 13 days.

Establishment Phase: Germination slow and uneven.

Time to potting: 1 month.
Other Comments: Comments: Cold treatment of seeds may enhance germination, but still very low germination rate.
