I forgot to send Mike my renewal fee. Does anyone know how the following interesting '04 color crosses did last year?

851 Davies '04 (1260.4 Weir '01 x 1016 Daletas '01)
269 Reiss '04    (810 Dill '99 x 1016 Daletas '01)
1125 Frantz '04    (869.5 Calai '00 x 1225 Jutras '03)
1026 Jutras '04    (1225.4 Jutras '03 x 1016 Daletas '01)
933 Jutras '04    (846 Jutras '03 x 1016 Daletas '01)
682 Wilbers '04    (801.5 Stelts '97 x 876.5 Lloyd '96) 846 Calai remake
827 Garrell '04    (801.5 Stelts '97 x 876.5 Lloyd '96) 846 Calai remake

Every one of these seeds has stellar genetics. Did anyone give them a test ride? If so, how did they perform?

I spoke to Joe Jutras about the 1026 at the seminar. He doesn't know of any that have been grown. There were some nice ones off of the 1125. I think Mike Frantz has pictures of some in his diary or the photo gallery.

I grew the 1125 Frantz 04, it was a very nice orange 909# pumpkin, which gave me very little problems throughout the growing season. I would definately recommend growing it.

Grew the 851 Davies

Never got it weighed... Very solid. Easy plant to care for. Nice color and shape. Threw lots of females. Most heat tolerant plant in the patch. Throws heavy orange pumpkins. Steve had one with exceptional color and shape.
