Can anyone give me some info on progeny on the following Companion seeds (won in SPGA auction)?

1048, 1036, 721.8, 788.6, 757.5

I wanted the 757.5 seed after seeing Danny Dills 775 and 671 (both on same 757.5 plant) plus I liked the shape and colour on the 671, especially with the silver flames on it (see my diary). I don't know anything about the rest of them, except that they'll throw orange. Anything you can tell me about them would be great, they won't go in the ground this year, but it's be nice to know what they might do if I do decide to grow them. Thanks.

The 1048.6 should be worth growing.

Produced 997, 883 and 827 first year out. All medium to brilliant orange.

I grew a 250 lb. pumpkin on the 1036 last year. Beautiful dark orange color and nice shape. Healthy plant, moderate growth rate. No problems. I will send you a pic of the pumpkin.
