Re: Holland 817 progeny?
Chris,
Like that 567.5 and 559 Geerts crosses ah? So do I. Jim Kuhn's 929.2 was
the 567.5 x 559. Also Kirk Mombert had this same cross in 1999 in a 449lb
pumpkin. You can just about forget the 929.2, very few exist and they have a
poor germination rate for many had tiny hair sprouts when taken from the
pumpkin at Topsfield fair. Most had fully sprouted. I think Kirk would most
likely send you the 430 if you asked. I also think that maybe Pete Geerts has
this cross, not sure though. Kuhn's 929.2 threw 906.5 for George Lloyd and
another big one for his wife in 98. At the very least it shows the cross has
good potential. I do not know of any 559x 576.5 crosses, other than the
Holland 817. Pete Geerts and Kirk Mombert most likely would.
