I saw in your photo gallery a picture of a true ORANGE pumpkin. I think you called it a 706 Olsen grown by Gary Keyser. Are there any of those seeds available? I would like to get a hold of some to breed to our own pumpkins. Trying to get the orange back into some of these future seeds. Thank you in advance

Choctaw, OK

There are only 25 seeds in exsistance from the 597 Keyzer. It is a 825 shymanski x 697 cilberto. The 597 also grew the 765 Weidman last year, but did not have any near the color of the 706. Wide varience in that seed, and that goes for most seeds. 2 597's were grown this year and 5 are being grown this year that i know of. So that cuts it to 18...and i am not sure how many gary has left...he does not have email. it would be hard for me to get you one......i have some 706 olsens, if you are interested...the 706 was crossed by the 702* olsen which threw a 800+ lb uow pumpkin for olsen this last year. I would suspect the 706 offsring would not have as good of color as the 706 itself, i would guarentee it actually. your best bet is to find a seed that is 801 stelts sibbed or selfed, or a line with the 801 stelts in it. Good Luck! i hope this helps.
