That's quite a wish list. If I had a list it would look similiar. Some of those seeds went for as much as 300 dollars in the seed auctions this winter. Hope you have deep pockets.

Tom E-Mail me back privately & I,ll see what I can do for you. Of the seeds you want I have the 869.5 Calai & 1109 Skinner. I have many other seeds if you want I will send you my seed library. Although I only plant 2 each year & my brother has 2 also , we have many seeds . Not to hoard , but to pass out when someone needs seeds. Just sent 20 off to Australia. The best of them was the Welty 947. Also if anyone reading this has a Lyons 900.5, or any of Brett Hester,s squash seeds let me Know ,I am sure we can work something out...........Paul

lot's of truth.to bad, the 1131 checkon seeds didn't either.
the record seters put all the energy in the flesh and none in the seeds.

How do you put more energy into the seeds? Would that be accomplished thru high pottasium fertilizers?

I don't know, I'm saying that's what the plant did, not the grower. That could work what kind of side effects would it have?

If the 1140 doesn't germinate, how come you want one so bad?

I might get lucky. You never know. it's worth a try

Itsa trophy seed, most 1000lber seeds are. The only ones I can remember that were ollected to grow were 1006s, 1092s and 1010s. From what i've heard, the 1140s seeds were damaged when it started to rot a few days before it went on TV.
