The new How to Grow Giant Pumpkins # 3 is absolutely breath taking. Don you really out did your self. To everyone make your orders NOW you have to at least purchase one but TWO would be better. one for taking out into the patch and one for your book case to keep
it in the Pristine condition it deserves to show to friends. I will make the first post warning EVERYONE that has a picture in it I will be looking for you at weigh offs and seminars to get you to sign your photo I think this will be a PRICELESS collectors item for each and every one of us to keep for a life time!
It is a hard cover and the photo Quality is of the best I have ever seen
and I am not going to let out the secret why but the photos on pages 37 and 161
are probably amongst the finest photos ever taken in the history of
photography.
Thank you to ALL that donated photographs and information, again thank you
to Don Langevin for your tireless work producing a truly beautiful book !!!
Take care all and with help from how to Grow World Class Giant Pumpkins # 3
KEEP GROWING EM BIG !!!!

Subject: FREE SEEDS

Of course most any grower will send seeds if a bubble pack is sent with a nice request letter. However perhaps another way to get good quality seeds is to join a pumpkin organization(s). The Pacific Giant Vegetable Growers is such a group. We have many members world wide that join for our outstanding newsletter and our more than generous seed giveaway every year. Last year we gave out over 25 seeds to all our members which included seeds from some of the best growers in the world. (Daletas, Hester, LaRue, Handy to name a few) For only $20/yr I feel this is a great bargin! If you or any of your fellow Montanians are interested please contact me or check out our website at pgvg.org.

thanks and good luck this season!
