I was wondering what you all think. I have more awesome seeds than room to plant them. My Spokane Vally partner Robert Critchfild, who has 20+ acres of commercial pumpkins got most of my "Test Seeds" including a joint effort 611 Hester, a 922. Emmons, 1230 Deleatas and a bunch of others. Trouble is he is 86 yrs young, and lives 25 miles away. I try to go over every few days but man it's tough with a full time job, family and a two slot (home) patch. Was wondering what you all thought about a 1260 Weir and a 1262 Emmons cross? I have as another thought almost every other 1000 plus plant grown in 2001? I really like the 1167 Handy and 1153 Eaton as well.... As I said only two plants in the home plot. Please help..............

I think that 1262 will be a good female to cross something unrelated to. I personally was thinking that 1062 Rivard (self pollinated unrelated seed) would be a better cross if you are looking for a one ton cross kind of deal. The numbers also look kind of cool on paper with the 62 the last 2 digits in each...............
