Re: GPC Color Rule - POLL

Have they made a ruling about the color rule ?(doubt it ) How does everybody feel about this issue?     This is about pumpkins, this is a pumpkin news group. No whining this fall if you dont support in the effort to clarify, rules. More judges don't help that just means more people to disagree !     Thanks ,Bruce

Subject: GPC Color Rule - POLL

Group,
           The GPC will be making a color ruling later this week.  What I would like from you ladies and gentlemen is an informal poll on which option you prefer most when it comes to the determination of a pumpkin.  Below I have listed 4 option I know that are being considered by the GPC.  Please Email me directly with your answers.  DO NOT EMAIL YOUR ANSWERS TO THE PUMPKINS@HORT.NET LIST.  My email is Brad2julie@aol.com.  Please keep this simple by choosing from the options below.  This informal poll will conclude Thursday night May 16.  I will call the results of the poll into Hugh Wiberg myself.  This is your chance to be heard. SO VOTE!

Thank you,

Brad Walters

How do you feel the GPC should classify a pumpkin?

A.)  All pumpkins and squash should be in one class. Heaviest one wins.

B.) Anything that is all green is a squash.  Everything else is a pumpkin.

C.) Keep the rule as it is. 75% white to cream to orange is a pumpkin. 25% or more    gray to green is a squash.

D.) Rib Base Color - Using this method, a pumpkin is determined by looking at the creases or ribs of a pumpkin.  In other words you would look under the netting a pumpkin may have to determine its base color.
