   You cannot get much more selfed then that off the 935 Lloyd which is a 
heavily selfed line.... Now I want to find another heavily selfed line that I 
can cross it with from the Mombert or Holland line !!!! think I will get a 
great cross off of it by isolating the possibilities of offspring !!! The 703 
produced 100% dark green fruit I have heard and the plants were VERY small so 
I isolated the same oddities that the mother had.... It may be worth trying 
it yourself with what ever you have that you think you can cross it with to 
give that HIGHBRED VIGOR !!! The 703* had about 900+ seeds and I still have 
about 200 Left anyone game !!! Remember the 703 plant will not get much 
bigger then 150 sqft so i am sure you can make room !!!!  Take care all !!!!!
 
   Just trying to make us all think !!!
