The probabilities are lousy either way, but sometioems a triploid will lose 
a set and the remainder will cross iwth the diploid of the other parent. .
You're right, I assumed that this is what he meant, but I'd appreciate his 
comment, too.  I think he was noting that he has NEVER gotten a pod to set 
on Squamigera despite hundreds of tries.  I've tried a few dozen times and 
used a 2, 4-D assist  (which helps in wide iris crosses) but, again, no 
luck. . .  Cheers, Adam

the same."



We'll have
