772 Poirier, 670 Daigle, 810 Dill, 500 or 1100 Northrup, 869 Calai are all great orange producers.

These seeds can be hardc to get, but you may be able to aquire some of there offspring.

Although yet unproven, our 993 Vincent-McGill 08 loks promising (772 Poirier x 998 Pukos)

All of the above mentioned are quality seeds, no doubt about it. But with the quality of growers out there and their great crosses, anyone who wants to grow a nice orange fruit can do so without dipping into the college fund. Here are just a few that come to mind

869 Bhaskaran- 1290 Poirier x 772 Poirier
696 Dill-730 Dill x 500 Northrup
820 Sandvik- 869.5 Calai x 670 Daigle
890 Bhaskaran 06 - (670 Daigle x 781.5 Frantz
583 Young- 670 Daigle x 772 Poirier
798 Lawson- 1101 Northrup x 730 Dill
1054 Lawson- 364 Webster x 730 Dill
310 Berard- 919 Richards x self

Way too many to post here, good luck.

This year I got a seed packet for the 993 Vincent...It's worth taking a look at. 949 Zoellner is another to take a look at. Mark

I'll mention a couple of others to consider.
641 Andrews 06(670 Daigle X 603.5 Muller)
364.1 Andrews 06(603.5 Muller X 670 Daigle)
Both of these could throw nice orange, and heavy to the chart pumpkins.

I am going for a big orange cross also 1290Poirier X 1354Young that might work or 1290Poirier X 598 Savage one of them will do the trick.
