MELONETTE JASPEE DE VENDEE #SQ190<br />
(C. pepo) 90 days. A favorite of our grower, these golden<br />
yellow, netted, round, 3-4 lb fruit have some of the most<br />
delicious flesh in the squash family. Very sweet and<br />
rich, and the perfect size for two servings. The vines are<br />
incredibly productive and do well nearly everywhere. An<br />
historic variety from Vendee in western France; a great<br />
keeper and a favorite with chefs. Pkt $2.75<br />
MINI RED TURBAN #SQ201<br />
(C. maxima) I just love this adorable little turban squash<br />
that is so lovely with its bright red base and creamcolored<br />
cap. This squash weighs 2-3 lbs and produces<br />
very large yields. Similar to the ‘Small Chinese Turban”<br />
described in 1885 by Vilmorin. Beautiful! Pkt $2.50<br />
MINNESOTA SWEET #SQ247<br />
(C. pepo) 105 days. Small, flat pumpkins run 4-5 lbs.<br />
Thick-fleshed fruits are very sweet and flavorful, making<br />
great pies. Seed reputedly from John Olson of Blue Earth,<br />
Minnesota, who grew the variety at least 40 years ago.<br />
Pkt $2.50<br />
MRS. AQUILLARDS CUSHAW #SQ261 New!<br />
(C. mixta) 105 days. Mrs. Aquillard grew and sold these<br />
squashes in Chainainger, Evangeline Parish, Louisiana,<br />
for many years. There, she would wheel out a shopping<br />
cart full, leave it alongside the road, and her customers<br />
would leave money in a box. As a landrace type, this<br />
includes a number of forms and colors, including white<br />
long neck and short neck types, some stripes and some<br />
golden. Originally collected by our friend Kurt Bridges.<br />
Pkt (10 seeds) $3.00<br />
MUSQUEE DE PROVENCE #SQ152<br />
(C. moschata) 120 days. These gorgeous, big, flat<br />
pumpkins are shaped like large wheels of cheese and<br />
are heavily lobed and ribbed. The skin is a beautiful,<br />
rich brown color when ripe. The flesh is deep orange,<br />
thick, and very fine flavored; fruit grow to 20 lbs each.<br />
This traditional variety from southern France is great<br />
for fall markets. Pure European seeds. Pkt $2.75 or 1oz<br />

NEW ENGLAND SUGAR PIE #SQ131<br />
(C. pepo) 100 days. The noted small sugar pumpkin of New<br />
England. The orange fruit weigh 4-5 lbs and have fine,<br />
sweet flesh that is superb for pies. Described by Fearing<br />
Burr in 1863. Pkt $2.00<br />
NOOB TAUB #SQ246<br />
(C. moschata) 100-110 days. 6-8 lb spotted fruits start<br />
out grey-green, turning yellowish when ripe. Shapes<br />
vary from a round, slightly flattened pumpkin to a<br />
more unusual bottle shape. Flesh is very thick, grading<br />
from intense orange nearest the skin to very pale in<br />
the interior. Flesh not particularly sweet; our grower<br />
recommends it for savory recipes rather than dessert<br />
uses. Originated among the Laotian Hmong people.<br />
Fascinating and extremely rare variety. Pkt $3.00<br />
