Tom, of course your information was correct, but I would like to add an
aside.  The late Howard Shockey pointed out to me, and to many others many
times, that we tend to use the term "aril" when in most cases we mean
"arilbred".   There are very few pure arils being grown in most
gardens....the bulk being arilbreds.  I have tried to watch my terminology
since being corrected by Howard twice.Clarence
