******************** Jim, I'd be happy to send Carol some GULL'S WING. I
do not claim it is better than
ESTHER CDM.....rather, I believe it is the same cultivar, just
inadvertently reintroduced under the new name by Mr. Wadekamper after Mr.
McGarvey passed away. However, I am most anxious to learn whether I
acquired the authentic GULL'S WING or was sent another ESTHER by mistake.
Let me know if you want me to send some. Ann Henson S. Central
