Re: CT. UPDATE 937 Mombert & 974 Mettler

Pumpkin addicts,
                   Harvested my 937 Mombert Fruit yesterday. This pumpkin had 
not grown in the last month and was pol. on 6-24-99. Good orange color, 
shaped like a small Zehr 1061. Final measurements were 118.5x85x80.5=284OTT. 
By chart 469lb. Actual weight 518lb. about 11% over chart, +49lbs. Four other 
fruit on this plant. One has a high top like a Dolphin the others are barrel 
shaped.
   974 Mettler picked 8-22-99. Had also stopped growing. Grew upside down Big 
flat pancake. Weight 420lb light colored. Final 118.5x77.25x71=266.75. By 
chart 395lb. Three other fruit on this plant. Plus 25lb.
  I was unable to get enough water to these plants. We had no rain during 
their growth spurts. I think both seeds are capable of more. I would plant 
them again.

  As a final note Roy, George,Marv,Mathew and Reggie your Tarps are on their 
way. I included free seeds from the 420 LB (974 Mettler x 1056.5 Stellpflug) 
and seeds from another cull of mine this year about 340lb. (597 Reynolds x 
1056.5 Stellpflug) The 597 Reynolds is from (833 Handy x 906 Handy). This 
seeds will be included in all Tarp orders until gone. If anyone still needs a 
Tarp please order early they are going fast and I have to order 25 at a time. 
If it gets to close to Oct 2 and I've sold out I may not have more made this 
year. I don't want to hold to many thru the winter. (The dreaded dead zone 
for pumpkin growers!) The price again was $69 +$7US S&H + $11 S&H Canada.
