Unique Varieties
-
American Tondo -
A dense cucurbit with green stripes between
deep, wide yellow/orange ridges - very interesting. About 10
inches in diameter.
-
Galeux d'Eysines -
OK, this has got to be one of the most unique
varieties of them all.
Either the ugliest, or most beautiful depending upon your point of
view. And, yes, it make wonderful soup!
-
Jamboree - Another new one for us this
year. Similar to the Jarrahdale but smaller.
-
Jarrahdale - The catalog says this Australian squash is good for baking.
We think it tastes awful and only truly love it for its long-lasting
beauty.
-
Kikuza
- Oriental heritage with rustic, New England charm. This Japanese heirloom is small
and tan with deep ribs. A wonderfully, creamy texture with a
sweet, nutty flavor.

my husband!)

Lumina - The standard white pumpkin. Great for carving
decorating or making pie.

Impress your friends with this knock-out eye-catcher. Great for your gnocchi recipe too.

Moranga de Mesa - a pinkish-orange
flattened, bulbous fruit, similar in shape to the Musque de
Provence. I don't think Martha has featured this one in
Living magazine..... yet.

Musque De Provence
- This French pumpkin has an heirloom, rustic, almost medieval
look. It keeps a long, long time slowly turning from deep
green to a buckskin tan.

blue, dense, blocky pumpkin. A real beauty. Makes a great
