Dan I grew the 559 it was a nice plant and a nice pumpkin until it got a
dinky hole in the blossom nipple. I said blossom Dan not bosom.Guys there
all the same........anyway it was a nice shape and weighed in at
685........I crossed it with the Glasier 742 so we will see if that works
well. I also tried a cross between the 449 Marcelus and the
559..............Brock
