If someone planted the 859 Checkon and pollinated the flower on it with a male flower from ANOTHER 859 Checkon plant. the offspring would be a sibbed plant

If someone planted the 859 Checkon and pollinated the flower on it with a male from the SAME plant. The offspring would be a selfed plant.

so if you plant two 859 Checkon seeds and pollinate one with the other the offspring of both would be
(859 Checkon X Sib)
instead of calling it (859 Checkon X 859 Checkon), the Sib indicates that it was pollinated with another plant both from the same original pumpkin (the 859 Checkon in this case)
Think of it as insest.
