The three I've tried were all from Johnny's - Beaufort, Maxifort, and Collosus. I have a few of the C seeds left, so I will probably also go ahead and plant those this year, along with my Juliet experiments. The thing that I think may hold grafted plants back as much as anything else is the inability to plant deeply, as I always do with ungrafted ones. My understanding is that if you plant so deeply that the graft is under the soil line, you've basically lost any benefit from the graft, since new roots will grow from above the graft. But perhaps this only applies if you're looking to take advantage of soil-borne disease resistance. I dunno...
