Narrative
Inbred tested several years in hybrid combinations, shows promise in certain combinations for specific areas. Combines especially well with B 2215 and B 12115-2, which have been released, as well as unreleased inbreds. Especially desirable due to tight scales, unusual firmness, and superior storage quality. Remained dormant in storage longer than any tested to date (1960).
