	* 2002 Data from Hickson, Fisher, Thompson, Argyle, Grafton, Cavalier.
	+ Lower numbers indicate better Aphanomyces tolerance (1=Health, 9=Dead), from Shakopee nursery. Foliar rating (mid summer) and root rating (October) based upon plant stand and plant health.
	@ Ploidy indicates number of chromosomes (2N = diploid, 3N=triploid).  Diploids are generally somewhat smaller seedlings, while triploids are generally larger.  Diploids can have higher emergence.
