Hosta "Summers No. 00"

"Plants numbered by the first president and co-founder of The American Hosta Society (Alex Summers) who exchanged many hostas with other collectors and imported them from Japan and Europe. Keeping careful records he numbered acquisitions, gave the source of the plant, and provided identification where this was required. His 1972 listing is an important historical reference for this present volume. It contains 581 entries, some of those which provided important clues to identification are listed below. Many of Summers' other numbered taxa are of interest to researchers only, so I have not listed them."
