But the 'Tete a Tete' that is most widely distributed (e.g. sold, in flower, in 
groceries) is still the virused form. A sort of vegetative Typhoid Mary, it 
sounds like, and just as badly needing to be kept in strict quarantine.

Does anyone know where 'Tete a Tete' is commercially cultivated? In Holland, or 
elsewhere? (Just as many "Dutch" tulips are actually grown outside Mt. Vernon, 
Washington.)
