996.5 Emmons 00 - a few progenies in the 1000 and 900lbs range.

the 922.5 Emmons 01 also grows like crazy but can only be recommended if you want to experience how it feels when you are loosing your best fruit to a split...

I heard the 922.5 also throws a lot of double vines.

803.4 Davies is the 845 Bobier X 922 Emmons. 2 years in a row, massive growth, but SPLITS. My fruit last year off the 803.4 was 699 pounds (went down to split). I grew that 699 this year and it is by far my best fruit. Sitting at 926 pounds and still growing with no splits. The 922 Emmons is 1/4th grandparent of that 699. So far so good. Good luck with whatever you choose, If you want a 699, e-mail me.

oh, yeah, when I said that 922 was 1/4 th grandparents of my 699 forgot to mention, I crossed that 803.4 Davies last year with the 821 Garrell (which was 845 Bobier selfed).

i agree with the 922 emmons with the rapid growth as i got 924 in 59 days. I also believe it has the gene of spliting pumpkins as i lost my pumpkin

The male pollinator 922.5 that I grew a few years back produce two beautiful orange fruit......... 450 lb est. and 500 lb est. No problems at all.... I've had no problems with the 803.4 either for the last two years. I must of planted the slow seed........

I'm growing the 658 Emmons'98 this year and am loving it. It's got a great shape and even though the weather has cooled off considerably, still is packing on some good weight. I'm putting in it again next year.

In my experience the 922.5 grew well for me but was pretty ugly and had 4 pumpkins on the plant. The 4 pumpkins are probably the reason that they didn't split on me.

The 1038 is probably one of the hardiest plants I know of and is the only plant that survived our frost here in Germany so I would recommend it to anyone in a cold climate.

The 1144 Emmons is also a nice plant to grow but with our cold weather I've only had a bunch of beachball sized very late set fruit but I can't say anything bad about the plant.

I haven't grown any others.

I have two 1038's to trade for squash seeds.
