I have an 845 x 898 here in CT that is my biggest. I also have an 898 x 1097 that is over 700 right now. Let me know if you want seeds...Ray Leonzi

Have all 4 of those going. 845 has been a great daddy, but largest fruit is in the 500 pound range due to earlier stem splits. The 842 fell prey to the weird shut off that my older fruit experienced when the weather got hot. Seeds were good out of a 434 pounder though. The 1260 is rolling along with a nice 1260 x 695 handy cross on a decent fruit. The 898 I remade the 1104 with and crossed it with the 845. The 898 fruit is doing okay, just hope it gets to see a scale in October. I am hoping both the 1260 and the 898 fruit go over 700 pounds.

Im growing the 1260 Weir and I crossed it with the 1370 Rose,My 1260 is orange,and the skin feels like concrete,it almost doesnt feel real. Right now it measured out at 606 Lbs with no growth at all now. Im anxious to get it weighed to see if it goes heavy like the other 1260's that where grown has done so many times.I hope it does!!

Im also growing the 842 Eaton that I crossed with the 1260 Weir,My 842 isnt what I like as far as the color that is about 70% green now. Its right around 700lbs and growing anywhere to 5to 10Lbs a day still

My biggest Pumpkin growing is the 1097 Beachy that I crossed with the 1260 Weir. I cant wait to grow the seed from this one next year.

I have a decent one going on the 898. The pumpkin looks solid with huge shoulders so I hope it goes heavy. I pollinated it with itself.
