Is anyone in contact with some of the 2001 Topsfield growers? I would be interested in some seeds from the #17 Eisenhaur and the #11 Cone/Wilberg. I´d like to try a cross experiment under the criteria of colour and shape in 2001 where maximum weight is less important.
Or did anyone had something similar not to be first in a weigh-off but for "natural beauty"? Should be from areas with medium temperatures and rain like in my area here in Germany. Thanks in advance!

Yes, in fact we are. Don Eisenhaur will be sending us some seeds. The Cone/Wiberg pumpkin rotted before the seeds were harvested. Hugh Wiberg told me he only got 23 viable seeds so he and Tom decided not to distribute any of them.

Hello Ken, thank you for the good news. I only know this one photo, but the Eisenhaur pumpkin was my personal favourite. My regret for the #11. #4 Carter and #40 Langevin also look very good in shape and colour. Please list me for your seed distribution. How much seeds do you send with your packs and what do I have to pay for postage to Europe?
