Dear Sharon: If I am indeed lucky enough to get reblooming arilbreds, half
the credit will go to you for sending me the pollen, and getting me going
on it. I have four germination from a Sam Norris seedling (tetra aril x Z
rebloomer) by pollen of your 94-1-6, which is giving the best germination
of any you sent. After the four days of freezing, and two days of rain, an
all-white SDB opened today, showing no frost damage. Lloyd Zurbrigg in
