Linden, Mi.,

This was asked in AG Genetics and Breeding

I am asking for watermelon cross

Linden, Mi.,

I will even start
165-Cantrell x 255 Mitchell
291-Kent (WR) x 157-Bright
234-Berry x 165-Cantrell
234-Berry x 157-Bright -- I think putting the 157 back in to the 255 will make that seed stronger ? (255 X 291)= 234

How did you get a 157(2004)? I thought they were all gone.

Pizza, you could grow the 35 in a pot just to get pollen or a small seed melon.

This is what i am thinking so far.
272 Peden x 255 Mitchell
252 Neptune x 255 Mitchell
213 Henry x 255 Mitchell
2- 255 Mitchell do not what i will corss in to them
Might put a 157 Bright in one.
I have not got a big one off the 255 yet. I tell every one i gave all the good ones away.
But maybe i got 1 or 2 good ones left.
Just might put in a 260 if i get UP in time.

274 Kent x 168 Johnson
219 Edwards x 145 Bowers
219 Edwards x 274 Kent
285 Edwards x 274 Kent
217 Vaughn x 168 Johnson

These are the seeds in the chamber. The crosses are subject to change,but this is close. I might try the 239 or 255 but will probably wait till I can grow a 200 pounder.
