Pedigree
Description:
In 1961 cross between Texas W5 and 'Wilt Resistant Peacock 132 (WRP 132), Fairfax, and Summit. Texas W5 was backcrossed to each of the 3 F1s in 1962. An F2 sel from the WRP 132 backcross was outcrossed to 'Graybelle' IN 1964 and selfed sel. were made for another 3 generations. A doublecross between Fairfax and Summit backcrosses were made in 1963 and selfed selections were made for 4 generations. Selections from the WRP 132-Graybelle line and the doublecross line were crossed in 1967 and single plant sel. were made for 6 gen.(1968-1973). Self-pollinated seed from a 1973 sel. was used for an isolated planting for seed increase in 1974. Seeds from this planting were desig. as Florida 75-1 and dist. widely for testing in Fl. and other states 1975-78.
