correct me if i'm wrong but it looks like you put 2009 as female and 1495 as male on your seed packs for your 1317. the gpc listing has it the other way around. just letting you know.

Say what....I disagree...Andy has it right pumpkin growers always list the Female First x the male

That makes it confusing. I thought it was always the female first then male. shouldn't matter the format of the sticker.

Female x male or Female
x
male

I try to be a gentleman, so I think it should be "ladies first".

2009 X 1495 is female first, but look at a 5 generation pedigree, the male shows up first on every one that I have

Im old school, The males on top, female on bottom.the 1317 is F1495 Stelts X M2009 Wallace Here I posted it first,But on the pack the male is on top.

It may wrong labeling but I think most know the cross,I will put a F next to 1495 before I ship them.

I may not be the most interesting man in the world or the smartest.lol But I bet I'm one of the busiest.LOL When I ordered those labels I was at Office Max and I remembered male on top from the 90s Looking at the Jackson Reed pack 1161F is on top .lol So Andy maybe right.Oh Well!

Makes no sense. Why do this now. It is no pedigree... Pedigree is 2000+ lbs. Just makes things more confusing for new growers as well as established.

I think those fake teeth and costumes are going to his head.

^^^^ Coming from the guy who can't figure out how to email from a grower diary, I can see it being confusing.

it makes a huge difference to anyone considering growing any particular seed as to correct genetic signature.
the female is always listed first x then the male pollinator.
been that way since i started growing in the late eighties.
to list incorrectly is not helping the hobby or the grower under consideration.

Yes I fixed the labels by using a F next to the 1495 and M next to the 2009.I think everyone will know what there growing.Sorry for the mistake.

I totally agree with Pap- I've been doing this nearly 30 years and it has always been female X male pollinator
