Re: P&P Seed Co 2001 Update
Ray,
It's unclear who is the mother and father of the seeds you are selling.
The AGGC list the 845 Bobier 99 as 935Lloyd x 827 Holland this is not the
same as the 723 Bobier that grow Joe's 1096.8. Seeds aren't worth a nickel
let alone $10 if the geneitics are wrong.
I'll grown P&P seeds before and would like to again if I get what I think
I'm getting.
