>>Massachusetts since 1933 to 1960 she talks about a Dr Neeley who she says
>>was a famous hybridiser of this plant and who produced several of his own
>>varieties which were then on sale in the U.S.A.
>>He was also followed by an associate Mr. Roy Burke of Paulding Ohio, but
>>this is as far as I can get, could you please put me in contact with anyone
>>who could further this research for me. Or at least get me closer to
>>Paulding Ohio.
