Dear Mike: I have tried many of the Schreiner reds, and am usually quite
disappointed in heir growing habits. SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE DID WELL THIS YEAR
ON A 2-YEAR PLANTING, and I used it in breeding. It and GYPSY ROMANCE
FAILED TO BLOOM ON 1-YEAR PLANTY. Glad to hear DYNAMITE does well for you,
but that does not mean it will here. Please add a rhizome of it to my order
if that is not too hard. If it is, skip it; I know you must be too busy for
words right now. Lloyd Zurbrigg 6001 Garrett Rd., Durham NC 27707.
