	Thanks, Sharon, for this list of aril traits.

	Tell us what you think of the virus markings.  Some years, 
these seem more evident on the quarters and halves, and other 
years they are hardly there.

	Are virus markings a minus?

	The picture of MOHR PRETENDER that appears from time to 
time in the Schreiner catalog shows it to be free of virus markings.
But, as I grow it, there are many virus markings.  Do we attribute 
this to climate, soil?

	How can you tell if a splotch of contrasting color is a virus 
marking or part of the usual color for a cultivar?

	Are these markings kin to 'broken color/variegated' markings as 
in Ensminger things?
