Handy,
The 124.5 Young was a twin to the 124 but same cross. In 2011 I grew 3 lgs off of one 127.25 Jutras, I pollinated the 124 and the 124.5 the same evening and they were 18 inches from each other. I have always wondered what would have been if I had pruned one. LOL

If I grow LGs this year it will be 108.75 Eaton crossed back into my 96 ( 92.5 Hamilton x 135 Jacobus )The 92.5 is 108.75 Eaton x 135 Jacobus. I might just grow pear gourds, they look like fun.
