Choctaw, OK

well, i can give you the crosses of my seeds on the list.

555 uow 01 (825 Shymanski 96 x 876.5 Lloyd 96)....split from a dill ring. was a little bit under charts.

527.5 01 (616* corkum 98 x 535 Lloyd 00 and 876.5 Lloyd 96)...50 lb heavy, low and wide, very orange pumpkin from the 616* corkum.

376 Est 01 (772 Creuziger 99 x 655 johnson 96) Long orange pumpkin. Plant left to grow on own once fruit set.

273 Est 01 (655 Johnson 96 x self) Very light colored high, short fruit. Felt very heavy when moved. had a hard time setting fruit. Plant not taken care of in drought conditions.

130 uow 01 (762 Neuville 00 x 876.5 Lloyd 96) Very orange pumpkin. Weighed on home scale, thats the reason for uow..it didnt split. Plant grown in bad soil and not watered much. 130 is being grown in australia right now by Down Under (clinton McGrath)....sounds like the 130 is one of his best plants. Might turn out to be my best 01 cross. My 762 grew a 802 in 2001 for Chuck Geiger. Remember the 876.5 lloyd is the daddy to the 846 calai!

All fruit, except the 555, were grown in new frist year ground that was not prepared...i had decent results with little watering in hot drought conditions in 2001.

Ok, I sent the info in with the seeds but the info must have not gotten included.

The Gadberry 519 is from the 1009.5 Sherber X Self it was a clone from the actual Sherber plant that produced the 1009.5. Nice plant I had to chose between that or my 644 to take to the September Fair so I plucked the 519 it was still hitting 15 pounds a day in weight gain!

The Gadberry 410 is trhe seed that produced my 644. It is a cross from the (99) 810 Dill female X the Waterman 1-ton cross (1056 Zehr X 1006 Greer(99) male. White seeds that produce VERY orange deep ribbed pumpkins, with very long stems and solid dark green vines.
I had a 350 pounder on the Waterman 1 ton cross on July 28th that year that I blew up with to much nitrogen.

Ooops, the 1-ton Waterman cross was the 1061 Zehr x 1006 Greer. Also the 530 Gadberry on the list was from the 1016 Sherry Larue female X the 1-ton waterman cross male. I hope that helps.
