Re: HYB: cold stratification

I think this is an important point for pollen daubers to keep in mind.

I think Joe Ghio was reminded of this when STARRING germinated the
second spring in an abandoned seedbed.  Until he saw this seedling, he
was <only> keeping first year germinants.

I think I got that right.

having many lines die out.... Walter>
