A Pumpkin Genetics Site

Dear Fellow members of PUMPKIN
  I am looking forward to growing my first Alantic Giants this summer by
making a cross designed and with seeds furnished by Barb Kincaid.
  In my enthusiasm, I can't resist starting a web site devoted primarily
to the principles of genetics for Atlantic Giant. My site will not
duplicate the pedigrees, data, etc of Mike's site at
http://www.mindspring.com/~neps/cucurbyte.htm
  Please look over my current plans for the index page and send me any
ideas you would like to see included in this site. The site will be at
the URL below. 

                       Atlantic Giant Pumpkin Genetics

                Basic principles of genetics for pumpkin breeders.
           These principles should be useful to breeders of most crops. 

Atlantic Giant is an old heirloom pumpkin noted for its size.
