Hi Jim

Chris
The seeds yoiu got were , indeed , from the plant I got from Jim. They were
"open pollinated" (We know the mama, but the dadys were traveling salesmen)
. I soulld add thet as Jim says, there seems to be an overwxpectetion of
the percentage of streaked seedlings that may be produced from a streaked
parent. sometimes is is even less than one in ten. For me what is most
oimoportant, is not quantity, but quality. One really good seedling from a
few hundred seeds, is pretty good!
Thanks
Ran
