Howdy!
If you agree with me, that the only acceptable AG pumpkin is:
High on BOTH ends and Orange. :-) Read on....
I have come across some genetics that should produce this...
760 Patrick -> 656 Bhaskaran (http://members.aol.com/dbhaskaran/pumpkin00)
655.5 Johnson -> 784 Creuziger
567.5 Wallace -> 920 Cole
929 Kuhn -> 906 Lloyd, 795 Lloyd.
Others???
Here is some background info on the "quark" of 760 Patrick.
******************************************************************************
********************
760 Patrick seems to be the only one with HIGH-HIGH from the 801.5 Stelts.
Background:
The 760 Patrick is a 801.5 Stelts x self....however, the 801.5 has produced
very orange pumpkins but none that I can find that are high on both ends like
the 760:
765 Nesbitt - High and Medium
798 Calai - High and Low
819 Mettler - High and Low
846 Calai - High and Low
850 Hester - High and Low
947 Patrick - High and Medium
1010 Larue - High and Low.

Anyways, I hope this note helps on your seed selection this year....just
remember do you really want to hear from your friends...."What is that?" :-).
This is the tentative Seed Selection for me this year:
1. 760 Patrick (2 plants)
3. 656 Bhaskaran(760 Patrick x 815 Checkon) -> will be interesting to see
what this produces...Orange or Blue?
4. 403 Brandt (772 Creuziger x 760 Patrick)
5. 655.5 Johnson
6. 552 Millican (793 Hester x 947.2 Patrick)
7. 523 Reynolds (567.5 Wallace x 801 Stelts)
8. 400 Reynolds (760 Patrick x 929 Kuhn)
On the bubble:
567 Zunino (947.2 Patrick x 937 Mombert)
400 Reynolds (929 Kuhn x 567.5 Wallace)
Thanks.
