I wanted to offer some clarification on my son's two pumpkins this year. My son Cole grew two 1450 Steil 12 seeds. His first plant grew the 1224 C. Steil 13 which is a 1450 Steil 12 x 220.3 Debacco. The pollinator on this one grew my 1734.5

Coles second 1450 Steil 12 was pollinated by the 1756 Lancaster and grew the 1231 C. Steil 13. There were no seeds harvested from this pumpkin. It is sitting frozen next to my shed yet waiting to be fed to the deer later this winter.

So, if you see a seed pack that says 1231 or 1224 C. Steil 13 no matter what the weight says the cross on the pack is correct. All seeds packs say 1450 X 220.3 Debacco on them, which is correct.

Cole is 14 and I have him do all this himself, I guess I should check his work a little closer. But, no matter what, if you have a C. Steil 13 seed, no matter what the weight says on the pack, the cross is the 1450 Steil 12 x 220.3 Debacco and the pollinator did grow my 1734.5 Sorry if this caused any confusion.

Oh, and both are listed correctly on the GPC site with the correct pollinators, Cole just mislabled some of the seed packs originally.
