| SQUASH & PUMPKINS
20-35 seeds per packet. Grow winter squash in very rich soil, amended with manure, compost, or other rich source of plant nutrients. Plant in rows, 5-8 feet in both directions, sowing one seed every 6-12 inches. Or plant in hills, 5 seeds per hill, with the hills 6-8 feet apart, thinning to best three plants. Full sun, ample moisture and insect control as necessary should allow good production from the vigorous plants. Harvest in autumn when skins are too tough to be easily punctured with a thumbnail.

Citrouille De Tourraine
New!
(C. pepo) This old French squash was described in 1856 by Charles
Naudin, who was a Paris plant collector and small seed dealer. Bears
very beautiful, tall, round, keg-shaped fruits with pale green rinds
that are marked with dark green lines and marbling. A huge and
pretty old squash that is said to reach weights of over 100 lbs, but
usually quite a bit smaller. In 19th century Europe, this squash was
grown to feed cattle. Young fruit are good fried, and larger fruit
make great decorations and feed for most livestock. Very rare variety
with very large seeds. Pkt (12 seeds)
