120 days. Cucurbita moschata. Open Pollinated. Connecticut Field Pumpkin Seeds. The plant produces good yields of 15 to 25 lb deep orange-yellow pumpkins. A popular pumpkin variety prized for its reliable, historic, archetypal “field pumpkin” look most people picture for Halloween. It is the original Halloween pumpkin. Excellent for making pumpkin pie. Its flesh is thick and mildly sweet. Great for pies, purées, canning, and frying. Seeds are good for roasting. It is one of the oldest documented varieties still widely grown. It dates to pre-Colonial times, when Native Americans in the Northeast grew it, and early New England settlers adopted it before 1700. The name comes from traditional interplanting in cornfields (“field” pumpkins) in the Connecticut region. An excellent choice for home gardens and Farmer’s Markets. United States Department of Agriculture, NSL 9365. A variety from the USA.
