First offered in the 2007 SSE Yearbook by Andrey in Belarus, and looking at the 2017 YEarbook SSE itself is offering it again and it gives the SSE accession number and cites Carolyn Male.

Two facts

SSE is lazarizing varieties that haven't been listed in many years,one of them being this one. SSE itself is now the largest lister in the Yearbook and has been for quite a few years.

Fact two

Craig L and I were getting lots of varieties out of the PC GRIN when it was still possible to do that and that back in the early 90's and one of them was this one.

At the time we were sending out an international news letter called Off The Vine, aka OTV,. we described all of them there and then SSE listed all of them

And so it goes. If I were to pull out one of those early 90's Yearbooks I'd find it listed, but to do that now, where there are piles of SSE Yearbooks going back to 1975 on the floor to my left here by the computer,it would be a bloomin' catastrophe.

Carolyn

Thanks for the background Carolyn. Andrey has given us some gems. We are all lucky to have him participate with such enthusiasm. Great Sunday!
