I am looking for the longest self pollinated ghost green gourd ever grown. By ghost green I mean no stripes or marble. I have seen ghost green Lgs at contests before. Is there any difference in the genetics of a ghost green LG than that of a striped or marbled LG such as the 134.25 Johnston/Butler or the 135 Jacobus. I am interested in any information anyone has. Thank you!

Wayne, I noticed that some LG have stripes and some are a light green color with no stripes. I am trying to find the longest light green gourd with no stripes to possibly pollinate with our striped 135".

For what it's worth, the 95 Seca from 2000 grows nice long skinny uniform light green gourds. As a plus, it's the mother of the 109 Eaton and comes from a different line from Italy.
