<<What is the big deal with the 576 pumpkin?......why did so many
growers use this seed to grow their pumpkins?  I was just looking at the
OSPG
newsletter and the 576 keeps popping up!  Howard Dill used it.>>

This 1992 567.5 of Kirk Momberts is the mother pumpkin with the most
current success in the world.

In 1994 Kirk grew a 800.5 from it and in 1995 it grew in various parts
of North America a 875, a 850.5, a 846.5, a 833.5, a 816, and my own
680.

You can see from our Ottawa-St.Lawrence Growers "Family Tree" pamphlet
of November 96 how well it did in 96 - at least 17 pumpkins over 700
pounds.

Kirk wrote a very interesting article on his 567.5 seeds for the
Ottawa-St.Lawrence Growers June 96 newspaper.  We have attached this
article for the "pumpkin list" to read.
