Pumpkin
= An old, hardy type that grows well even in

if stored properly it can last over six months. The flesh is light
colored, fine grained, very dry and resembles sweet potatoes in flavor.
Makes an excellent pie. Fruit average ten to twenty pounds in weight.
Very Rare. 15 seeds per
pack = $5.00
Quote by (W. Atlee Burpee in 1883) about the above
"Grows to medium size, pear-shaped, a little ribbed, color creamy
white, sometimes lightly striped with green, flesh thick, creamy white,
remarkably fine grained, dry and brittle, and of most excellent flavor.
Hardy, very productive, and keeps perfectly sound until late in the
spring, longer than any other pumpkin. It speedily becomes a general
favorite wherever it has been introduced. Has no equal for making pies
and custards. When cooked it has somewhat the appearance of sweet
potatoes, but of more delicious taste. It proves very distinct and
fixed, and is a valuable acquisition. This variety we recommend as
being superior to any other variety of pumpkin for cooking purposes in
cultivation. Its attractive appearance makes it a specially valuable
kind for the market gardener. Our stock of this variety is grown with
special care, and cannot fail to give satisfaction to our patrons, but
the seed being very scarce, we can sell it only in packets. Do not
confound the Tennessee Sweet Potato Pumpkin with any other so-called
Sweet Potato Pumpkin.
