Subject: Major jump in seed prices................

At the Canadian Giant pumpkin growers seminar in Guelph Ontario this

weekend there was a casino night on Saturday night.

 

After the casino closed some top quality seeds were auctioned off:

 

The first seed was sold for more than $ 4000.00

The second went for around 7500 dollars and the best

seed was auction last and went for an amazing price

of over $ 17,000.00 dollars.

 

This can be verified by anyone that was in attendance on the Saturday

night event before the seminar on Sunday.

 

Some of who are on line and were there are

 

Rock Rivard

Joe Pukos

Gene Butzer

Ron Wallace

Nic Welty

Bruce Kaye

Glenn Cheam

 

and many others, what an exciting auction, glad I didn't miss it.
