Larry,
Jim Wilkins wrote "Using Genetics in
Hybridizing" published in The Hosta Journal Volume 23 number 1(spring
1992). Jim wrote an excellant article and IMO it is required reading
for hosta folk interested in hybridizing. It just so happens that I was reading
it this morning. Lu and I have two complete sets of The Hosta Journal and
I'm making an attempt at reading them all........we'll see how long that
resolution last....It's a lot of reading......but past issues are a real gold
mine of information. Clyde Crockett was the Journal editor back in 92 and Vic
Santa Lucia was our president.

Subject: Re: Size and crosses Thank you, Mr. Zonneveld! I was wondering why that H. plantaginea wasn't used in the majority of breeding lines, to get the large fragrant blooms. Now I see that there is a low fertility outcome, potentially. I would think that additional crosses could isolate the better traits of H.plantaginea, but this would take time. Again thank you for any pointers that you may provide, for someone like myself, just starting in the habitation of hostas. I know your time is at a premium!
