Anybody know: what's the oldest known instance of white seeds in an AG? Just wondering where that trait came from. I opened up a blue hubbard squash today and found snow white seeds. hmmm....

I've often thought and have been told by a few older growers that the white is a squash trait. Tom Beachy will jump in here and disagree, won't you Tom? I do have a lot of white seeds with heavy squash genes in the backgrounds. Maybe G will spot this post and tell us things he has observed. Nic, are you lurking somewhere too? What about the Hitman? Garrell? Troy? Len S? Nesbitt? Armstrong? Needham?Wolf? Carlson? Little Kyle {LOL}? Pukos? Hebb, Kennedy, and everyone else I should be adding? Here is a good link to visit on the subject:
