What about the Stelts 801.5 '97. It produced the 846 Calai (new Ohio
record), 739.5 Lanterman and 739 Moss and the Parks 816 last year. It
basically dominated the Canfield weighoff. Not to mention how almost
perfectly these pumpkins were shaped. By the way if anyone happens to have
a extra 801.5 they would like to trade email me privately. I have a pretty
good seed library from the last few years and maybe we could work out a
trade.
