 MB,
 
      Jim Kuhn's 929.2 was left in a glass case at Topsfield Fair. Almost all 
 the seeds sprouted. Very few seeds survived. George Lloyd grew a 906.5 and 
 his wife had a big one too. So the last remaining seeds can still grow a big 
 one!

A little off the subject of Silver bullet seeds but leaving it in the glass 
case should not have contributed to the seeds sprouting, the case was air 
conditioned.  In most cases I believe it's because the Pumpkin is very 
mature.  His also had a bad spot that started to decay.  He has also had a 
terrible time with that disease that causes the whole vine to collapse into a 
brown soup.
