IS the 845 Bobier, 842 Eaton, and 898 Knauss a particular slower germiniator or has been hard to germinate?

I had an 845 take 12 days to pop but the only other 845 I've started was up in the usual 3-4 days (same germ mat).
My 842 in 2004 was predictable from start to finish.

The 898's I have germinated have been some of the last to come up for me. This years 898 for fellow Honesdale grower Andy grower followed the same pattern. Looks like Honesdales seeds are ahead of Sayres already.

The 842 Eaton is finally showing green below the dirt but is not moving any dirt, The 898 Knauss cracked the dirt then just sat there. The 845 Bobier finally came up and is gaining strenght. Grandma's for sure, I did go 3 for 3 on the 407 Armstrong....935 Lloyd X 887 Orr (2000) ......I got extra plants for the locales.....Joe?

I thought that seed would go Pap, Actually that was my favorite one out of all I had, and it was to be my special seed, The one I planted this year was also very fast out of the gate.
