I would like to ask Sharon the same thing in regard to
STRIPED BUTTERFLY C.G. WHITE 1962
TROPHY C. G. WHITE 1961
WITCH DOCTOR C. G. WHITE 1959
Are there other C. G. Whites that have been reassessed?
Also, do you know the aril content for:
ROSEMOHR '49
SHERIFFA '43
TURKISH TOPAZ '62
SPECKLED BIRD '58
ELMOHR '42
GAY STRIPES '58
LADY MOHR '44
I hope you know this off the top of your head and do not have to
research any of these. Since these have been around for so long, do you
recommend them for wetter climates?
