2,106 Schmit ’16 (F: 1385.5 Howell/Jolivette x open)

Mike’s pumpkin was next on the seed harvest list. I am not sure if this picture does the pumpkin justice, but this was a very impressive pumpkin. It was tall and wide and also had great orange color. What I have heard a few growers refer to the orange speckles as “Calai Speckling” which is in honor of the late Fred Calai who was known for orange pumpkins. This was a very impressive pumpkin and made for a great display.
