I would like the E-mail address of the Chile Woman or any other
source of "choice" chile plants. Also, is this listserver always this
screwed up or is it my mailhost? Sure hope this makes it into print on
the list so I know it gets through. Also, anywhere reasonably close to
the cities mentioned will be alright . Will someone please respond with
a name or address I can use. Thanks & I hope this makes it into
print....Jim LeClere
