Dear Walter: A seedling of mine has given two blooms this fall. It is
MARITA X STEP ASIDE. The pollen parent is an ril-bred of Mrs. Daniels, and
I am not sure that I have the name quite right. In any case it is an
arilbred, and the seedling is a chartreuse near-amoena. I am quite amazed
that it reblooms. I would like to get ARIL REVERIE. Lloyd Zurbrigg in
