| 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.

Red Warty Thing or Victor
New!
C. maxima) An incredible old squash, introduced a few years ago
by Rupp Seeds as "Red Warty Thing", after receiving some seeds
from the USDA; however, what they received was incorrectly labeled.
After doing research, Dr. Amy Goldman now believes this
variety is actually the true Victor, a variety introduced by Gregory’s
19th century seed house after Mr. Gregory saw this variety at exhibited
at county fairs. The round fruit are brilliant red, and completely
covered with bumps. Stunning to look at, and a must for
fall decorations; tasty flesh. A great market variety with vibrant
color, making it a quick seller.
