Comments
-above from the June 1991 WPC News Journal
-obviously 1990 was a great year with 6 in the top 10.
-of these NJ=4 NY=2 the others are singles
-Thompson and Lavery were the first over 700------Quebec and UK----the 755
was a new world record.
-Note how the heavy hitters and top growing regions have changed in 11 years
-How many pumpkins from the above list have genes surviving in the "modern"
top gene pool??
It's interesting to look in the rear view mirror now and then,just to see
how far we have traveled.--Al Eaton
