I was going to start a similar thread.
I keep changing my mind LOL.
Currently I plan on:
603.5 Muller 03(one or two plants)
364.1 Andrews 06...I'm very tempted by this one. 603.5 X 670.
If I only grow one 603.5, I may grow another orange producer.

I am thinking about growing either the:

666 Dill- 772 Poirier x 998 Pukos or the

780 DeBaccco - 1290 Poirier x 670 Daigle

Any thoughts?....LB

hey beard-another one to consider is 1323 sherwood.

2/9/2009 4:26:34 PM

Cincinnati,OH

These are the seeds I picked up this year
88 Webster 08 (772 Poirier x 1689 Jutras)
1004 Mohr 08 (772 Poirier x 1317 Rose)
666 Dill 08 (772 Poirier x 998 Pukos)
587 Dill 08 (730 Dill x 998 Pukos)
583 Young 08 (670 Daigle x 772 Poirier)
1054 Lawson 08 (364 Webster x 730 Dill)
The 730 Dill is 1016 Daletas x 810 Dill
Hey LB I think the 780 DeBacco would be more orangier than the 666 Dill but the 666 has more size potential

1004 Mohr 08(772 Poirier x 1317 Rose)

my favorite four:

996 Dwelly (772 Poirier x 1566 Rodonis)
250 Perham (772 Poirier x 1385 Jutras)
993 Vincent/McGill (772 Poirier x 998 Pukos)
1004 Mohr (772 Poirier x 1317.5 Rose)

I really like that Dwelly pumpkin and think we need a big heavy pollinator to be able to make shiny orange pumpkins compete in the grand scheme of things. I don't think its impossible to imagine given the color that is coming through with the 998, 1385, and the Rodonis seeds.

I'm hoping to cross the 772 with a 898 or a 1450 this year.

Don't forget the 1069 Zunino 07. (1191 Zunino x 1450 Wallace) The 1450 pollinator produced the mostly smooth white 7% heavy 1244 Zunino.

This seed has not been grown competitively but was grown commercially last year, about 8 plants. All offspring were orange, mostly bright smooth orange. A picture of one unofficial offspring is at: http://bigpumpkins.zunino.net/lah7.jpg

This seed may produce the biggest orange surprise of the year!

Ron or anyone is there a picture of the 1054 Lawson?

Orangeneck,

I "helped" Carl Lawson (85) grow the 1054 Lawson 2008.
(364 Webster X 730 Dill)
E-mail me at veader@sonic.net for a photo.

There is one on seedoutlet.com, too.

Chuck,
Did the 730 Dill pollinator that Mr. Lawson used, have a pumpkin on it? If so, how was the color?

Doug,

The 730 Dill ('06) that I grew had a beautiful orange pumpkin on it that developed a blossom end split. The plant was very healthy and I also used the 730 pollen on my 1014 Veader (500 Northrup X 730 Dill).

I was using a new camera last summer and can probably find photos of the plant and the fruit if you are interested. My email address is in the post above.

I Figure since I started the post I should at least give a Rough Lineup:

703 Guns 08 (1009 Young x 778 Liggett)
1102 Pukos 08 (1159 Richards x 998.6 Pukos)
1004 Mohr 08 (772 Poirier x 1317.5 Rose)
897 Davies 04 (845 Bobier x 1260.4 Weir)

I really Like the 1102 Pukos, I think this seed is going to bring it home for the orange growers. This seed is 75% 998 Pukos and 25% 919 Richards The Size and color combo should be Terrific!

Also Forgot about the 895 Grande 08 (1016 Daletas X 1385 Jutras)

I only have 3 primary spots so it is going to be tough to narrow it down...

Middleton, WI

We are planning on growing:

868 Marsh (772 Poirier X 919 Richards)We would have made this cross last year but didn't get to grow last year. Kevin Marsh's fruit was 34% heavy! This may be the anomaly that pushes orange into the heavy competition. we will backcross it with the 772.
