I would plant the 620 Boyton Very strong plant it was the second up to the 642 Olsen i planted and i the others i would plant are the 1061 Pukos,880 Bortner, and the 638 Olsen ok. I would cross the 880 x 1061, 620 x 638, 1061 x 620, 638 x 1061. hey if you will be celling pumpkins too so you can do many differnt crosses.

the 620 Boyton seems to have great potential, has grown 600+ and is always vigorous...... I'd put in a 1061 Pukos too, I grew one and it was a very strong plant, also is proven over 800 pounds..... also the 803.4 Davies has been proven to grow big fruit..... Ben

803.4 will do well for you. It's an 800+ producer. Alex.

Plant the 803.4, it's a good seed. Maybe do a 766 x 803.4. another good cross would be the 880 Bortner x 1247 Handy. the 900 Alberts should be good too.
