On the theory that Johnny is pulling a sly one on us and the apparently
obvious is not so, I'm not going to vote for anything horticultural.

I'll try:

and

> 12. (rhetoric) without notes or prompts

[MICHAEL HARRINGTON]

John,

Please write me down for:

9. an arranged collection of dried plants; a herbarium

10. small one-seeded fruit or naked seed of plant

I'll take the legal term and the mountain silhouette, with a nod to

I will vote for numbers 2 and 13

-- Dick Weltz

[Jim Hart]

It looks Latin but it's probably not unless of course it's a Barrs
double-bluff. And I recall that you can lead a horticulture but you
can't make her think, so I'm not buying the popular 9 or any of the
other botanicals.

Instead I'm giving a nod to 18 and votes to 1 and 5.

Only in Darwin and I don't think we have any players up there. Most of
us in the southernish states are still saving our daylight though I'm
not sure for how much longer.

[Steve Graham]

9 and 13 please
