Re: HYB: Sass line origin of the Horns, Spoons, etc.

Hi Diana,

I may have your photo on my PC here at work, I'll have to search for 
it and post later if I find it.  I sent your photos to Mary Hess At 
Blue Haven for identification but she never got back to me.  I assume 
it didn't ring a bell.  She apparently inherited much of the old 
Austin cultivars from Mrs Austin and is still in the process of 
identifying unknowns.  I wish her internet site was working but it 
hasn't for a long time. 

Now on to SAGE.  It stands for Space Age Genetics Effort/Experiment, 
I'm not sure what the last letter stands for, Bill can probably tell 
you though.

The idea is for the 15 or so of us that volunteered to make identical 
crosses with the same breeders and raise large numbers of seedlings 
in similar growing conditions with the same pH.   We plan to keep 
detailed notes on the percentages of embellishments , whether proto 
horned, shelfed, horned, spooned, flounced and variations of these.

There's much more information in the archives, plus many posts where 
we discussed the possible candidates to the program.  We've narrowed 
it down to about 10 SA's so far but appear to have stalled at the 
selection of the other non SA breeders for the project.  

Neil is working on an AIS bulletin article to introduce the 
experiment so it can gain exposure and possibly greater participation.

Do you have land Diana ?  Are you willing to participate in SAGE ?

Good to have you back,
Chris
