I wanted to show you guys this picture too. It is the 1904 Sperry plant. I don’t know if you can tell from this picture, but this plant has very small leaves. Short leaf stalks and is somewhat dwarf. It has been an interesting plant from the start, it had taken over two weeks to germinate and when it did, it was sort of slow and stunted. I didn’t care because I really wanted to grow the seed. I wonder if any of these traits would carry on onto the seeds that this pumpkin produces. Perhaps it would be a good one to try and grow for a 150 square-foot contest , because let me tell you the plant may be small. The leaves may be small, but the pumpkin really wants to grow a decent size pumpkin it’s over 1000 pounds and still growing.
