Prizewinner will throw you nice big orange pumpkins, although they look close to AG's in shape. Howden Biggies are another that will throw 50 - 70 lb nice pumpkin looking fruit. Given the right conditions I am sure you could push one of these fruits over a hundred. Shannon

Nice orange ones (that aren't rare and unavailable) include: Kilbert 634.5 and 673, Mongeon 421, Stucker 731, Pappas 627, Jankford 408.5, Dill #3 and Dill #9. Good to see someone else who wants good color.

I also like big and orange. Two of the four plants I’m growing this year are for color and size, 841.0 Stucker 2002 and also the 731 Stucker. The 841.0 Stucker 2002 is the same cross as the 634.5 Kilbert 2001 and should produce nice orange pumpkins.

All of the above seeds have 801.5 Stelts 1997 and 846.0 Calai 1999 in their ancestry. Both have a rep of big and orange.
