DEC-1995
DEAR FELLOW GROWERS
In 1992 I started keeping lists of large ATLANTIC GIANT PUMPKINS. The intent was to show major growers where their prize pumpkins ranked free of the claims among the various organizations. This evolved into the “GROWER’S LIST” of 700 plus pumpkins. The tremendous growth in our exciting hobby can be seen by the following:
1989-2 1990-2 1991-6 1992-4 1993-20 1994-26 1995-39 Grand Total-99
Another Grouping 700 to 800==75 800 to 900==18 900 to 1000==6
In 1994 feedback was requested and I thank Cindy Chaponis and Joel Holland for information provided. Now I ask all readers to send me details on any errors or omissions. Once that is done I’ll consider the list complete to the end of 1995.
