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 others tested
