Being I like orange producing seeds, here are a few I think will have good color potential:
1002 Companion(1073 Companion X 851.5 Companion). The 1002 was very orange in the pics I saw.
982 B. Northrup(1101 Northrup X 810 Dill)
875 D. Northrup(500 Northrup X 810 Dill)
660 Dill(810 Dill X 1016 Delatas)..quite similar to the 670 Daigle cross. The 660 appears nicely colored in the pic on Dill's site. If the 1016 pollinator grew the 730 Dill(pictured on the AGGC), it had vibrant orange color.

The 875 didn't have the greatest shape. The 982 was a little nicer, but I'd still go with any of the Dill crosses involving the 1016. Nicest colour and shape of any pumpkin I've ever seen.

The 730 Dill(1016 X 810) isn't listed with the premium seeds. I wonder if it had a low seed count, or was seedless?

For orange the 875 Northrup and 660 Dill are on my list also.

For green I like the 1131 Timm, 1121 Aten and the 552 Dill.

I will be trying long gourds for the first time next year..... the 121.5 Kline looks good to me.

I think that the seed assortment that Howard and Danny are offering us this year is awesome. The genetics are the best.......superb quality...... and you are dealing with folks that you can 100% trust........2 thumbs up ! .......geo.

I Like all of them this year, espically the 748.
But the 903 Dill of Howards last years seed stalk was one of the fastest growing pumpkins I have seen untill a vine borer was found in the stem which stopped its growth at approx 500lbs. I gave that 903 to a buddy to grow and was also amazed by the bright orange color it had aswel. This is going to be a great seed I think once people start growing it.
