Everwilde Farms - 20 Organic Cushaw Green Striped Pumpkin Seeds - Gold Vault Jumbo Bulk Seed Packet

This old-fashioned pumpkin, Cushaw Green Striped, is a great winter keeper! This variety offers heavy yields of cream-colored pumpkins that are long-necked and striped with green. The thick yellow flesh makes good pie too! 110 days to maturity. This Native American heirloom squash, whose common name of "Cushaw" comes from the Algonquin word coscushaw, has also been marketed as the Tennessee Sweet Potato because of its sweetness. New York seed man Grant Thorburn called it the Green Striped Bell in his 1847 catalog, and it was also sold beginning in 1883 by W. Atlee Burpee Co. Since Cushaw Green Striped resists squash vine borers, commercial farmers in the southern region rely on this variety for a good fall crop. Many Southern gardeners also prefer this variety for pies because of its superior taste.
