Okay.. Here we go.. Winner will get an 845 Nesbitt.

What do these seeds have in common?

845 Bobier, 810 DIll, 735 Pukos, 582 Hester, 1016 Daletas, 790 Daletas, and 723 Bobier.

They all have something in common that no other seed stocks can boast.

(It's trivia time folks!!)

Winner is the first one with correct response on this thread, not personal email, and not in another post.. Has to be on this thread, so hit reply to answer..

You can count to 10 using those number! ohh, and adds up to 5501, and if you take one of the 5's off the 5501 that was your first years fruit?...hehehehe..All set provincial or State records first year out, and many more times!

So far, no one is correct., but I will say this.. GA dude (Doug Adams)is the closest... Most everyone has truths about these seeds, but what sets these seeds farther apart from the rest? and why these seeds? what have theydone that others seeds havent?

The 940 Mombert broke a state record, but isnt on this list, the 713 Kurkowski broke a record, but isnt on this list.. so why is Doug so close, but not correct?

Winner will get the 845 Nesbitt...

Yes. they all broke state records.. but there is more to the answer than they all broke state records!!!!! Okay.. here is the final hint.. delve deep into this one folks.. Go to AGGC, and check out the state records... look for these seeds... what do these seeds all have in common? and only these 7 seeds... No other seeds have done what these seven seeds have done..

11/19/2003 11:08:25 PM

Well, Phonzie has given the closest posting there is to this answer.. I will send the 845 to Phonzie.. The question was..
What do these seeds have in common?

845 Bobier, 810 DIll, 735 Pukos, 582 Hester, 1016 Daletas, 790 Daletas, and 723 Bobier.

The correct answer is they all have grown more than one state record pumpkin (female side of the hierarchy).

The Bobier 845 has grown 5 state or provincial records, leading the way, while the 810 DIll and the 735 Pukos have established 3 each. The last 4 seeds, (582 Hester, 1016 Daletas, 790 Daletas, and the 723 Bobier) all have grown 2 state record pumpkins.

Thanks to all who have participated.. Please email me privately (Phonzie) your mailing address and I will send you a Nesbitt 845..
