Some good sleuthing and why didn't I think of going to the PC GRIN listings?

OK, Earl got the seeds from Sherry and Sherry where did you get them from as named North Star and not Canadian Northstar?

And is everyone confident at this point that the two are identical varieties?

Sherry, no I didn't see North Star associated with his name either, but was just suggesting that Polar Star and North Star were so close, name wise, that it was a possibility he also bred North Star.

I know Ernie Kerr best as Stokes corn breeder. But he may well have had greater responsibilities as the person that Stokes chose to submit accessions to the PC GRIN system.
