I'm wondering the characteristics of this pumpkin(shape, color, weighed heavy or light, etc.)?
I read somewhere that the 1260.4 Weir produced the 1370 Rose(maybe they meant 1367.5 Rose, which I've seen mentioned).
Do you know what the other parent of the 1370 Rose is?
Also, what cross produced the 951.4 Castellucci?
Is there a website that lists this genetic info.?

Thanks, Doug

Jerry grew 2 such monsters last year. Here they are. And no, I didn't lift this from AGGC. It came from my own inventory spread sheet. Jerry was kind enough to send these to me.

1370 Rose '03 = 1260.4 Weir '01 x 712 Kuhn'00
1367.5 Rose '03 = 723 Bobier '99 UOW x 845 Bobier '00 UOW

I'd say either one has good potential & both will probably got a fair work out this year.

Oh. I forgot the look thing.

The 1370 was light orange & heavy OTC like 5%.

The 1367.5 was mixed light orange & pale green & Canfield ruled it a Squash. I didn't note a deviation to the chart so it was probably flat.

Jerry might chime in on this.

Hope this helps.

There is a picture of what I think is the 1370 on the Ohio Valley page
