Re: not twins?

Roger,
     okay, so what you're saying is that after appoximately 4 self
pollinations, then you have a "pure" sample?  In which case you could
cross it with another "pure" sample.  then you would have to grow that
seed and self pollinate it for 4 generations to get another "pure one".
but, the last cross would have seeds that were all different?  I spoke
with Hugh wiberg a while ago, and he told me that if you took all the
seeds in a giant pumpkin and planted each one in a field, you would get
all different results.   you would have to self pollinate each one for 4
generations to pick out the genes you liked?  i have now confused my
self !!!!  please help  by the way, white is normal, some are brown/tan
and others are white.  some people prefer the white ones for some
reason.  the 567.5 mombert was white.

Scott, The seed producers don't expect to have a genetically stable
variety
until at least 4 self-pollinations.  I think you just happened to pickup
on
some leftover variability.  I've been working with the same genetics for
several generations,  this year one of them produced all white mature
seed.
 Is this in the normal color range?  Thanks, Roger
