Question: Should this be changed? Should the Handbook be changed (now
is the time since it is being rewritten?) I find it interesting how many
awards are handed out to those varieties that did so well in National
Convention gardens. The system needs overhauling, esp. for TB's. I know
it seems like I am picking on the TB's, BUT, if the TB's are the major
variety that sells every year....shouldn't they be the finest things we
can produce? Just a thought!
