self or cross pollination

The self pollination method is used to establish pure lines of seed
genetics.  After 6or7 self pollination the line is usally pure.  If you
have used a inferior weaken strain thats what you get.  I'm using a strain
that has all the aspects of what we need for large pumpkins.  When they
took the corn plant back, they bred recessive to recessive until they had a
pure dwarf strain.  I'm going the opposite way with my pumpkins, hopefully.
 I think the crosspollination is creating a large number of seeds that are
going to be average.     Roger
