1784 Glasier 13 is a 1730.5 Werner 12 x 1770.5 Lieber 12, but 1491.5 Werner 13 is a 1730.5 Werner 12 x 1775 Starr 12
The 1775 is a down-pollinator, like my 612/14 is a weight-down-pollinator as a two times selfed 1385.5 Jutras 07.
And so Werner shrunk his 1730.5 to a 1491.5 fruit, like the 1406 Wolf 13 showed us the diminution potential in a sibbed 1775/12.
A grower in Canada, who wants to cross my 612 with the actual world record, wanted to cross Beni Meier´s giant pollinated by my small 612 fruit, but I allured him from this plan and said: only the other way round!
Only the newer larger savagery onto the fine old genetics!

GPC site is not accurate with grower labels. Sometimes errors occur at the weigh off sites--sometimes GPC screws up--and sometimes the growers screw up, too.
