Well, let's see. I've been working on the sorts after compiling the info
from the list and naturally picked the arilbred class as one since it is
not large in number. Ended up with 36 cultivars mentioned, some with
several mentions. These mentions originated from MO - 3 mentions,
OH - 7 mentions, TN - once, ID - twice, MS - once, CA - five mentions,
NY - once, TX - seven mentions, SC - three mentions, MT - twice,
NM - three mentions, WA - twice, NE - once, UT - twice.
These weren't, of course, necessarily confined to quarterbreds. But
the spread of geography indicates exposure could be greater IF enough
folks grow them. I can think of many reasons why this is possibly is not
the case. Some would be practical reasons, some are downright
unflattering.
