Since the 707 Toftness was grown last season it has not produced anything yet! I would still go with it though since it is a cross of two SUPER pumpkins.

that's a tought choice... either the 1025 Bobier
or the 707 toftness...
if it was me -i'd go with the 1025 Bobier...
i really like the 865 Mettler being the mother.
of course the 723 Bobier came from an 865 also.

personally, i like the 1025 bobier, and it has produced already. Everyone seems to like the 707. I dont really like the cross that much, but we will see what happens...many will grow it. Perhaps go with the seedling that looks best.

I'd chose the 707 because the cross is impossible to beat on paper and its more likely to give you decent color than the checkon or 903holland pollinated fruits. I'd plant both the 1025 and the 707 and chose the better looking plant when I had to make the choice.

I would go with the 815 Holland personally. The male pollinator grew the 1026. And the AGGC show that you cant generally go wrong with the 935 as a female. I would go in this order if it was my garden: 815 Holland, 1025 Bobier, 1007 Brown, and 707 Toftness. 1025 did grow a 973 if my memory serves me well.
