RE: Free Pumpkin Seeds!
Do we need to ask you for the seeds or just send the envelope.

That got your attention didn't it? These are guaranteed to grow your
largest pumpkin ever or I will give you a full refund, no questions asked!
It was a decent season in the old P-patch and even though I fell short of my
goal, I still managed to grow my two largest ever pumpkins and the largest
one came on my own seed, which was very satisfying. This years seeds are:
576 Michalec 00 (427 Michalec 99 X 563 Geerts 95) Orange, mostly smooth
skinned low blob shape with baboon butt blossom end that was 8" thick. I
think the Geerts genetics may help bring the shape up to taller rounder
fruit, hoping it keeps the baboon butt and good orange color. 19th place
Canby, OR PNWGPG, GPC weighoff site.
Weighed what it was supposed to on the charts. Developed shallow stem split
late in season. Small tan seeds drying now, ready in about 10 days.
526.5 Michalec 00 (835 McIntyre 98 X 865 Mettler 98) Orange, sparse
cantalouping on shoulders, tall fairly round pumpkin. My prettiest AG ever.
Good stem, beautiful blossom end.
This might be the best cross I have ever made. Neither of these plants was
given the choicest spot in my garden and both did quite well. I have
another one of these 835 seeds and I will probably grow it next year and
give it more room. 12th place, Des Moines, WA PNWGPG, IPA weighoff site.
Weighed what it was supposed to on the charts. Large white seeds. Dry now.
For anyone who is interested I have a number of the 508 Michalec 99 seeds
available. Parents are (916 LaRue 97 X 769 Mettler 98) White seeds. There
is also a limited number of the
427 Michalec 99 as well. Parents are (769 Mettler 98 X 916 LaRue 97) tan
seeds. Both of these pumpkins had the baboon butt blossoms so they will
probably be predominant in the offspring.
Be sure to act today to get your seeds. Specify which pumpkins you would
like them to come from. Offer good while supplies last. Send a self
addressed stamped bubble wrap envelope to:
Chris Michalec
26603 199th Pl. SE
Covington, WA 98042
For overseas orders please send a self addressed bubble wrap envelope and
include 1 U.S. dollar to cover postage. In my experience that has been the
cost to mail these overseas. Otherwise send no cash. I am not in the
business of selling seeds and I get a kick out of doing this. It's fun to
keep track of where they have gone and I enjoy hearing from the folks who
have planted them. Act now and get your order in today! Supplies are
limited! Offer not valid in Antarctica or any nations placed under trade
sanctions by the United States State Department.
