An old time favorite variety of winter squash.
Flesh is bright orange, fine textured and quite sweet.
Delicious in pies or cut into serving size pieces and baked or steamed. Excellent storing quality through the winter. Approximately 110 days to maturity. Sow seed directly into the garden in late spring after weather has warmed considerably and all danger of frost has passed. Seeds can be started in individual peat pots indoors or in the greenhouse 2 to 3 weeks before setting out.
