810 Dill throws very Red most of the time

801.5 Stelts also RED RED RED

Current proven seeds 919 Richards, 772 Poirier

Unproven, but should be very Red 696 Dill, Peter Frei has some that should be Red, as well as Skip Simpson.
These are available at http://www.howarddill.com

The 672 Huffer '06, which was exhibited at Circleville is the reddest I've seen. I believe it was grown from a 664 Liggett x 846 Calai cross.
