Ken - quite right about dwarfness probably being recessive, but in
this case I just hoped that both parents had dwarfish genes. I do
have another cross of a similar kind with Precious Doll that should
bloom next year, so we'll learn more and maybe head for an F2 cross
to see what happens. I do have nice pictures of Precious Doll but
only from the fast-receding Kodachrome era. It has some of the
characteristics of a 6-fall Siberian -- flat form and some fall
markings on the standards. Bob
