Rocky,
	I think it is Mombert 567.5 X Bax 990.
I also have some Holland 903(UOW) seeds from 97. As I recall from the
Holland video it is from the same plant as the 897, but it developed a late
season split. Did you grow any of 897 seeds this year? I have one of the
903's growing but it had a severe fruit aborting problem. Everything it set
early in the season aborted about basketball size. I figured it was
sterile.Too bad, they had nice shape-long with big shoulders.
	After  these problems I abondoned the plant and let it do its
thing. Strangely enough around mid August it started setting pumpkins
everywhere and none were aborting. Not to mention there growing like mad. I
have 2 in the 200 lb range and still going. However, its way to late for
them since I wasn't paying attention while setting they are all at very
poor vine angles.
	Has anyone seem a plant do this before? Its a new one to me.


John
