Outdoors.  In a pot of soilless potting mix.  Late spring/early 
summer - I'd stuck 10-inch pieces of OHxF513 on top of a bundle of 
callery pear seedlings - actually, I double worked some - grafted a 
named cultivar onto the 513, and then put the combo piece on top of 
the callery.  Anyway, I had a bunch of 513 left over, so I thought 
I'd try rooting 'em.
I need to line 'em out in a nursery row this weekend; shoulda done it 
earlier, but just didn't get around to it.

Cool! Tell Doug "hey", for me.
Looking forward to meeting you at the KNGA meeting.
