I have the a very hard decision to make. I have several good seeds to grow and the possibility for several good crosses. I just want to know wihich seeds you would grow and which crosses you would make? I will have room for 6 plants.

1. 490 Beachy (723 Bobier X 845 Bobier)
2. 844 Wycoff (681 Stellpflug X 828 Wycoff)
3. 811 Kuhn (723 Bobier X 801.5 Stelts)-(Grew my 163 04')
4. 1005 Mombert (723 Bobier X 846 Calai)
5. 926 Hunt (1097.5 Beachy X 842 Eaton)
6. 839 Hunt (842 Eaton X 1097.5 Beachy)
7. 982.5 Myers (845 Bobier X 712 Kuhn)
8. 1265 Myers (712 Kuhn X 845 Bobier)
9. 867 Mombert 03' (1005 Mombert X 845 Bobier)
10. 1011.4 Peters (1370 Rose X Self)

Thanks,

I think I'd go with the Following:
1011.5 Peters x self or 982.5 Myers
1005 Mombert X 490 Beachy
490 Beachy X 1011.4 Peters or 1005 Mombert
982.5 Myers X 1011.4 Peters
926 Hunt X 839 Hunt
839 Hunt x 926 hunt

I'm no expert(for sure), but ice-man gave some good suggestions IMO.
I'd definitely want to grow at least one of those Hunt crosses, for its size potential.
If you want a cross for good color potential, I'd try 1011.4 Peters X 811 Kuhn, or the reverse cross.
I don't know the genetics behind the 844 Wycoff, so no comment regarding it.

i wondered why there was no picture or info for the 867
mombert 03. you know him and his 2-940s! you must actually mean 876 mombert '03. the 867 was like 801.5 stelts X 567.5 mombert, and was a 2000 seed. too many numbers, too similar! eric

The packet I have says 867 Mombert 2003 (1005 Mombert X 845 Bobier). I also have the 867 Mombert 2000.

Maybe it is just a misprint.
