I checked the GPC list for pumpkins 1000+ with male and female parents listed. Of seventy pumpkins, grower grew both parents, 5 (Swarts, Leonard, Bobier, Bobier, Catapanos) grower grew female parent, 11 (ex. Checkon 1469) grower grew male parent, 7 (ex. Sperry 1312) grower grew neither side, 47 I don't know if this means anything, but I thought the numbers are interesting.
