Can anyone tell me if the Ciliberto 95 - 845 is a good seed or not? It's from a Holland 92 - 722 x Woodward 93 - 511.

Yo Buzz,
The 845 Ciliberto has only grown two...one was 302lb in 97 and the other 537 in 96.

Yo Buzz,
They were not heavy hitters though.

They're ALL GOOD!(Some just ain't been proven yet!) Ever wonder how many potential world record holders lie in someone's chest of drawers? Some of the top seeds haven't always produced the biggest pumpkins, and I'm sure this works vice-versa!

Thats got to be right Mr. Kilbert.Just look at Geneva Emmons. I beleave she could get a TOP Finish pumpkin at the weighoff with a variety of seeds.

I just brought that topic up to our group today Kilbert. The general concensus was that the limiting factors (soil, sun, and water) had to be maximized first to exploit the genetic potential of any seed stock. That is volumes of info in itself.
