A very rare variety believed to be grown by Iroquois farmers prior to 1830. The small, 10-12 inch fruits are 5 inches wide at the base with a thin curved neck. Reddish orange flesh is delicious baked or pureed and added to soup. 100 days from transplant. OP
Care: Plant 4-5′ apart in rows 6-8′ apart in full sun. Leave on the vine as long as possible, until rinds have hardened. Bring in after the first light frost, before rains.
