the Emmons crosses should produce very orange pumpkins. So should the Papez crosses. Good luck next year,

TOM -
the 1262 Emmons was definately orange...
but i'm not sure what color the pollinator was(is)
the 1144 Emmons was white with shades of pink
here and there... again don't know the color of
the pollinator.
so who knows what you'd end up with color wise
if you planted these seeds.

the 1262 was a 940 Mombert '98 X 801.5 Stelts '96, all orange in those genes. I have no idea what the pollinator of the 1144 was, but the seed parent was the 879 Holland I think.
