	Yes, but you don't see many 'tall' arilbreds offered.  This was a 
specialty of Tom Craig, but they aren't very aril looking.  FRANCIS 
CRAIG and MARY MCCLELLAN bloomed later.  But, SATAN'S MISTRESS
is the first with any aril blood to bloom here.  It could easily get 
nipped back by late freezes.

      TERRY ANN also blooms later.

      These later blooming ones don't seem to be affected by the 
roller coaster cycle.  I haven't noticed it here.

     Most of the award winners lately in the quarterbred department 
are like IB's and are a little later to bloom than the 1/2 and 3/4 
arilbreds, at least here.  The quarterbreds that I have produced 
bloom after those with higher aril blood.
