Alex,
So many fine crosses to choose from.
Here's just a few that intrigue me:

1332 Werner(1420 Larue X 1180 Delatas)
1310 Macari(1173 Macari X 1068 Wallace)
1217 Bailey(1260 Weir X 1097 Beachy)
1150 Delatas(1180 Delatas X 898 Knauss)
905.2 Toftness(707 Toftness X 898 Knauss)

For color(hopefully):
1233.5 Reiss(670 Daigle X 801.5 Stelts)
578 Daigle(670 Daigle X 1370 Rose)

Ya I think I agree with the 1233. I cant wait to grow that one! Killer orange cross if there ever was one.

Here are my choices:
1200 Trumm (1370 Rose X 1097.5 Beachy)
540 Foss (1458 Whittier X 1446 Eaton)
825 Foss (1446 Eaton X 1420 LaRue)
840 Foss (1432 Carlson/Petersen X 1458 Whittier)
542 Foss (1420 LaRue X 1432 Carlson/Petersen)

Once I cross some of these this year, I'm hoping to have some great seeds for the following year.

Does anyone have Chris Andersen's e-mail or know how to reach him? He grew the largest 977 in 1997. Don

Involving 1068:
1333 Connolly (1068 x 1253) (pollinator plant was also over 1200)
983 Pukos (1068 x 1420) (introducing color into 1068)

For color:

Those 1310 and 1110 Macari are really tempting, also the 1333 Connolly and 852 Wallace

For colour, probably: 1233 Reiss and 578 Daigle
