Female was 1260 Weir X 670 Daigle 15% Heavy.

I am wondering if the 1260 was orange, or a big ugly? Help appreciated, pics even better. I got one in the germ chamber and I believe its starting to move dirt. Already popped is the 1374 and my (1625 x 2145) X 500 Wallace. Gonna try that one again. 1059 JVM not moving. Thanks for the info.

If memory serves me the 1260 was a nice barrel shape .Color was pale pink orange. Jerry rose bred some orange into it the next year cant remember that pumpkins weight.

Let me try again the 1260seed did produce som decent orange offspring.The calai pollinator seemed to have a dominant orangecgene in it.The 1260produced terry noses 1370 which was a orange giant back in the day.

Did anyone ever plant the 1012 Simpson? Looks like it could be great on paper, but there are no progeny on pumpkinfanatic

Pete, Hope that does well for you. Would be great pollen and yes I am looking for a good orange one to pollinate my 1374. Keep me updated. Good Luck
