Savy: I have been looking for the magic cross for my 800 neily? I started J Hesters 750lb 09" 848 sibbed. As I go through my sq box for the umtenth time I always get attracted to a packet that contains a newspaper article about John Perkins of Devizes, Wiltshire with the 03 english squash record 598lb? He was 73 years old at the time,the cross was made with F.650 Loyd 99' x M.642 Glasier & 462 Johnson ? Since these sq were before the 895 Hester 00' I felt these genes might add to the saturated squash pool if they germinate (I soaked two) Anyone heard of these old squash?

Perhaps Chuck Johnson will see this and tell us if it was his cross or not. I know Pete and Cindy Glasier are around also. You need to be careful>>>>>old GPC rules and WPC rules allowed 30-35% green fruit to be squash. There's a good chance the seed your soaking isn't really a green squash but a late season changer. The Lloyd line does that...gets some green on stem and blossom ends at end of season. If memory serves the 642 was a 963 zehr and 567Mombert cross...don't remember which is male....not sure on 462. I remember a 582johnson sq which was a 633Bindel x 522Johnson but dont bet on it..

There was a 598 Perkins 2003 that was a 650 LLoyd pollinated with both the 642 Glacier and 462 Johnson. Granville Perkins was the name of the grower. The Johnson wasn't Chuck but Jeff from California.
