We believe in the importance of free exchange of germplasm among those interested in cultivar development. Seed of these lines is freely available for use as parent material in crosses to interested plant breeders with the exception of a line containing a pateneted gene. These cultivars represent the efforts of an integrated team. The valuable contribution of each member is hereby acknowledged.
