The original information posted at Peters Seed Research for PSR-37 was that it is a potato leaf line grown out of the original Early Girl hybrid predating the Early Girl Improved hybrid. I still have an original pack of PSR-37 seeds from Peters Seed Research circa 2004 or 2005.
But Peters Seed Research is defunct, and I don't know whether they ever sold seeds for a regular leaf PSR-37 line. Maybe someone has a link to a wayback shot of their online catalog, or even a scan of their print seed list? Until someone shows proof they did, my opinion will remain that PSR-37 is a potato leaf line, and that the so-called PSR-37 seeds that are out there now giving regular leaf plants are wrong seed sourced from that Silverseed fellow. |

Silver never mentioned leaf form and I'd have to go back to that idig link to see if anyone who grew out those seeds got PL, RL, or a mix. Silver had huge amounts of seeds from Tim Peters for several other varieties and was supposed to send them to me, but disappeared, and I asked Green Zone if there was some way I could find Silver and he said he could e-mail him and did. GZ got back to me much later, twice, and asked if I'd heard anything I said no, which is why I only offered the PSR-37 seeds last year even though in that thread I said I was expecting more varieties, or maybe it was in a different thread where someone was asking about an OP EB. As for me and my growout lists, "we" don't grow Early Girl.

Yes, and that too, but I would have thought, perhaps wrongly, that he knew what he was getting when Peters gave him the seeds.
I'd seen PL at the idig thread I linked too above and I also knew the background of Early Girl F1 from France to CA to Petoseeds to Burpee and I knew that PL was part of the genetic background, but give me a break here , b'c I didn't grow PSR-37 myself to see what it might give and don't want to as I mentioned above.
