Default Marrows

I have several different varieties of marrows in the same bed, all
doing very well except for one.

"Tiger Cross" flowers, fruits and then when the marrows are about the
size of a penny they just drop off.

Any suggestions?

For some reason they aren't being pollinated, try hand pollinating some
female flowers and see what happens.
