Christy,
As Diane and Vince have noted, Allan Ensminger did offer a collection of
his selected seedlings for sale in the early 90's, but the seedling number
you quoted does not match Allan's system for identifying seedlings. There
is a color photo of a selection of the variegated seedlings Ensminger was
offering for sale on page 64 of the April '91 AIS Bulletin. One of the
seedlings depicted corresponds quite closely to the one you have described.
