seed naming classification system

---

Seed classification naming is important.  Could someone elaborate on the following:

 

Parents:

Pumpkin plant grown from two year old 914 Checkon 98 seed (female) is pollinated from plant grown with 891 Smith 99 seed (male).

 

Offspring Example One:

Some seeds of that fruit are passed along to Johnson who grows an offspring to 688 pounds in 2000.

Q.  Would you have a 688 Johnson 00, although Johnson merely grew and did not breed the seeds used?

 

Offspring Example Two:

Some seeds from the original cross are kept by the originator of the cross, Ericson, who self-pollinates his plant and grows a 1012 pound pumpkin in 2000.

Q.  Would you have a 1012 Ericson 00 and not mention either Checkon or Smith who grew the parent plants?

 

Respectfully,

Matt Garver
