Update
Dear Growers:
As many of you know P & P Seed Co has
provided some of the world's best
"Atlantic Giant" pumpkin seeds to
growers since 1984. Most all of the giants
today can trace their
"roots" back to P & P Seed Co. Early growth and
development of
the sport/hobby was supported greatly by the distribution of
quality seeds
to the best growers. Many of you included! We are pleased to
announce that seed from 4 - 1,000 lb pumpkins is available at our web
site:
www.pandpseed.com.
Other varieties are available, such as the, also bred for
competition,
"Collins Long GOURD", with no restrictions. P & P Seed Co was
first to offer the "Carolina Cross" watermelon variety to the general
population. We have worked closely with top growers for many years
to make
these offers while helping to build the sport/hobby.
Successes in giant
pumpkin growing have been unbelievable! Of
course, the 1,000 lb goal was an
early concept for P & P Seed
Co. Thanks for helping us get there! We've
done our part along
the way, and I'd like to especially congratulate Joe
Pukos this year for
accepting the $25,000.00 USD Clarence Award!
We would like to keep the
best seed available to as many growers as possible.
If you would
like to work with us on this and help further develop the
sport/hobby
please e-mail me privately. Anyone wanting an order form by mail
please send Long SASE (standard US stamp (.33). I'd like as many as
possible
to order from the web site - available 24 hrs a day: www.pandpseed.com
- no hassle, no raffles, no seed plans, no lottery's, no chances - just go
on
and order! We may have an e-Bay listing in a while for some of
the Pukos
1096.8 lb seed. I expect to see just a few. The
pumpkin is being cut on
Monday, December 11th. Just received word
from Switzerland: "Although the
pumpkin season's almost over, the world's
largest pumpkin is still alive and
was exposed in one of Europe's largest
garden centers in Germany. By next
Monday we will know what the seeds are
doing". What a great promotion!
