The "Bible" of seed collection is a register of all the names and specializations of plant research organizations around the world. From this list the collection group selects the seeds it wants, and informs the organization of their choices. Sometimes it sends along a "menu" of choices first.
做我們這一行的，都有一本「聖經」，那是一本載滿各國園藝研究機構名稱及專長的冊子，我們從裡頭，千挑萬選地找出能滿足我們需要的單位，然後去信表明看中他們的種源，有時也先開好「菜單」寄去。
