829 Welty 2003 (1337 x 845)
720 Welty 2003 (801.5 clone x 1337)

Steve,

We already have the 752 Blair, 9something Berard and a Beachy I can't recall. Just looking for a fourth out of all the generous offers listed above. In this years contest every entrant will receive 4 different pumpkin seeds and 2 squash seeds. You can plant them all or hang your hopes on one. Either way we all start with the same six seeds then every man/woman for him/herself!

just thought I'd mention, for kicks... the 691 Michalec is the reverse cross of the 582 Hester...

what a line-up..there's a lot of good blood floating around..i'd cross the 481 with the 691 and hold on..i can't wait to grow my 877.8..the 1186.4 whittier which grew the 877.8 was grown off the 582.. but my vote would be the 481..I still have about a hundred seeds left from the 877.8 and my intentions are to give them all away..

Can I vote again? I am considering growing the 829 Welty so i want this one to win so I can enter the contest if I choose to grow it. Its a great cross back, If I remember right the pollinator grew his 869. Thats good parent for pollinator which counts for something.
