Dear Linda: Your description is very good - - right on. The seedling is JJ
86 "Art Shades". This being a way of easily remembering it. (Latest Style x
Brother Carl) X Mattan 85-8. The similar one is LL 8 #1 and is from )Best
Bet X Mother Earth). If you have any recommendations about other things to
cross them with, feel free to suggest. Lloyd Z in Durham N.C. The
wonderful feeling of autumn.
