This was my first year attending the Circleville Pumpkin Festival. My favorite pumpkin was the 573 grown by Larry Schaffer. It was a Nice Round, Deep Orange pumpkin.
Kudos to Larry for growing such a great looking pumpkin!

I am hoping to find someone who has a seed or two from that pumpkin they would be willing to share.
I have a list of flower and vegetable seeds for swap if interested.
Please contact me

If you liked the look of the 573 Schaffer, it might be better to try and find the seed that grew it. Depending on the cross he made, the 573 may throw a totally different looking pumpkin, than itself. I did a search on the AGGC and there was no listing if the 573. just my 2 cents

Thank You for your replies.

ice-man: Thank you for the great advice. I agree. :tup:

I've looked everywhere for info about the 573 but find none.

I'd love to know what grew it! Very Nice Pumpkin!

Here is a picture I took of it at the Circleville festival:
