A red-tagged seedling could stay on the Watch List for several years, being evaluated against others of its type.  A silver tag, however, said "Name Me!"

• Number.  The first two digits of each seedling number indicate the year that the cross was made -- but not necessarily the year the seeds were cultured.  The last set of crosses made before the hiatus was in 1995.  Click on the seedling number to see a photo and my notes about the selection.

• Pod/Pollen Parents.  Pedigrees for seedlings listed as parents can be found in the Breeder's Digest.  

• Code.  The classification code under which it will be registered.  Seedlings from wide crosses are often difficult to classify and will not be introduced until the appropriate code can be determined.

• Location.  Malevil Gardens will be handling my future introductions.  This is just our worksheet for tracking which ones have been verified in each garden.  

• Comments.  A name in the comments field shows that a seedling has already been registered and is now being grown for increase.  TBR indicates that it will be registered, and may or may not bear a reserved "garden name" at this point.  The rest  have passed the gardenability tests and are of introduction quality, but some will be eliminated by the "have better now" screen.
