The only type of variety that my collection seems to be missing - is those varieties that are well-documented for producing bi-colored pumpkins/squash.

Does anyone have some seed of that to share?

Green & Orange? If so, one of our club members (Matthew DeBacco) grew one with very clean lines of demarkation a couple years ago. Most I have grown have instead faded gradually from greenis to whitish to a weak orange.

Matt's was a nice orange & green in patches almost like a Jersey Cow.

Is this what you're looking for?

Let me see if I can find a picture.

I've emailed a link to this thread to the grower. He's a very busy student so you'll not hear back for a couple days.

shannon- that year Barbie grew a 1700 pumpkin and Ken grew a 1500 squash ... plus the calico ... I forget the weight on it... all 3 were new world records in the Barbie and Ken world ... the bar raised significaly by them that year. I'm still working on guenius to get them officially reconized.

Looks like the student has plenty of seeds from that bi-colored. And doesn't want them!He also has plenty of OrangeXOrange ancestry seeds available - which would be very good for crossing on the greenies for the F-1 generation.

Where do I get a very LARGE SASBE - and how much postage for say 100 seeds or so?

I'd use a box if individually packaged. If it's 100 seeds in a baggie or something though, it's not bigger than those 12 X 18 bubble packs. Man I wish I had space like that! How much sf. per plant are you doing? AleX Noel.
