   Some time ago, someone mentioned that when cross pollinating a flower 
with pollen from a different species, that the attributes of the pollinator 
do not show up in the fruit.  My squash would not agree with that:  One of 
my Chersonskaya Squash produced a female flower with no male flowers to 
pollinate it so I cross pollinated it with Sweet Dumpling Squash pollen.
   All of my Chersonskaya Squash produced their normal green fruits except 
for the one pollinated with Sweet Dumpling which produced a white fruit. 
The white fruit contained white seeds whereas all of the other seed is 
brown.
