<< 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!
