This little future beauty is on a 1904 Sperry plant that has always been somewhat of a dwarf plant with smaller leaves and vines and slower growth, but the pumpkin certainly doesn’t look like it’s going to be a dwarf! The 1904 seed took three weeks to germinate I had given up on it. But lo and behold, I kind of scratched the top soil away from the seed and noticed a little tiny radical emerging from this seed. I pulled the seed out replanted it in a fresh potting soil with the cotyledon’s just above the surface, pointed tip down. it slowly emerged even though it had mostly rotten cortyledon leaves. I highly valued this plant because I knew it had potential.
