Well, I'm hoping it's the 1670 Parks, as I have picked a spot for one in my patch. Both the 1725 and 1634 are proven producers, but the biggest unknown is how the 1634 will be as a pollinator.

the 1670 was a huge, huge pumpkin, to see it in person was amazing, problem is it went light, so did the 1775 starr. I believe the 1775 starr had the same ott as the world record except it was like 15% light, crossing it with a heavy could be the ticket!!

All interesting crosses. I saw the 1775 in the patch and its measurements were a bit bigger than the World Record pumpkin. Since it was selfed then there is a statistical greater likelihood that the "big" genetics will show up in its progeny. However, like all of the other crosses listed, it is still a roll of the dice.
