Did this pumpkin have any good seeds? If so, I'm surprised I haven't heard of any progeny from it.

George Webster used the 1036 to pollinate his 1016 Daletas in 04 so there must be some seeds floating around out there.

If you are looking for gorgeous, smooth skin, dark orange pumpkins you can't miss with the 1036 Companion. My 1036 plant was stingy with females but the fruit was certainlly beautiful.....George Webster

Wayne, they are reverse crosses.
1036 = 801.5 stelts x 810 dill
1048 = 810 dill x 801.5 stelts
The 1048 grew the 981 zunino '04 (981 = 1048 companion x 1230 daletas) ..... lots of orange there !
