Howden Pumpkin
25 Seeds
(Cucurbita pepo) An improved, field-type pumpkin bred by John Howden of Massachusetts in the early 1970's. Plants produce excellent yields of attractive, deep-orange pumpkins weighing 20-25lbs each. Pumpkins have a nice shape, extra-thick flesh, and hard, ridged skin that holds up for several weeks after reaching full maturity. Sprawling 10' vines produce 3-4 pumpkins each. 115 days to harvest. 25 seeds per packet.
CULTURE: After danger of frost has passed, sow seeds in hills with 4-5 seeds per hill and hills spaced 6ft in all directions. Germination will occur in 7-14 days. Once seeds have germinated thin to 3 seedlings per hill.
