1. Arikara – originally grown by the Arikara Indians of North Dakota. This shape is oblong with pinkish/orange skin and a greenish star at the bottom end. The squash flowers were used by the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara tribes. Be sure to pick only the male blossoms as they can be dried for winter use. Excellent for storage. 90 days
2. Banana Pink Jumbo – from 1900’s. A long submarine-shaped variety with unusually pinkish, tan, whitish, very smooth outside skin. Fruits grow to 24” long! Flesh is excellent, sweet, dry, fine grained and light orange. Would make very tasty rich pumpkin pies. Wonderful storage qualities.
3. Blue Bullet Hubbard – a sweet scaled down version of the huge Blue Hubbard. This one is more marketable and easier to transport. Smooth-skinned, blue-grey fruits are medium sized… 4-6 lbs with sweet bright orange fibreless flesh. Stores just as well as the big guy. Yield 3 per plant. 95 days
4. Blue Hubbard – (aka New England Blue Hubbard) Here is the Big Guy…an outstanding “winter” squash of 13-15lbs., which has been very reliable. Heavy feeder, needs some room! Tear-drop shaped, deep dusty blue, semi-bumpy hard skin, excellent in storage (mine is still around…now in its 2nd winter!!). Flesh is orange, rich, thick and sweet. Excellent in pies or cut into servings and baked. Also great steamed, boiled and mashed. Reduce sugar! 100 days
5. Bush Buttercup Squash – like a standard buttercup with sweet dry orange/yellow flesh of excellent qualities…but these are produced on “Bush” plants of only 3-4ft in diameter! Compact! Fruits are 3-4lb, dark green-skinned. Excellent for small gardens. 95 days
6. Bush Delicata – dev. by Dr. Molly Jahn. (Others say that this heirloom was intro. By Peter Henderson & Co. in 1894) Dark green striped fruits ( look like elongated ovals…) with large white broad bands which become yellow in storage. Flesh has high sugar content. Plants grow on semi-bush type vines and are powdery mildew resistant. 100 days
7. Galeux d’Eysines – seed collection by Amy Goldman from La Ferme de Ste. Marthe, Cour-Cheverny, France. 1st seen at the pumpkin Fair in Tranzault, France in 1996. Fruits weigh between 10-20 lbs with sweet orange moist flesh. The skin color is tan/pink and the shapes are round & flattened. Great for baking and soups. Should be harvested before overly mature, because the peanut-like warts continue to grow and will cover the entire fruits. Excellent for table center pieces in the fall. 90 days
8. Golden Delicious – A gorgeous variety introduced by Gill Bros. Seed Company of Portland, Oregon in 1926. Lives up to its name! These fruits are tear-drop shaped and weight about 7-9 lb. The rind is a brilliant orange and the flesh is very smooth when baked, orange and tasty. 100 days
9. Golden Hubbard – introduced by D. M. Ferry in 1898. Typical hard-skinned (winter) hubbard with skin color a beautiful deep orange. Fruits weigh 8-12 lbs. and have thick, dry, sweet, fine grained golden/yellow flesh. An excellent keeper and roaster. 90-100 days
10. Hooligan Squash – Obtained this one thru a friend in the Anola, MB area. Plants are large and very productive. Fruits are perfect for single servings. A novelty miniature squash/pumpkin. Just lovely to look at and tasty too. 90 days
11. Kikuza – introduced into the seed trade as “Sweet Kikuza” in 1927 by the Oriental Seed Co. of San Francisco. Very beautiful, thick-fleshed squash with excellent eating properties. Fruits are round with indented tops and heavily ribbed. Skin color is a pretty tan/pink/grey. Weights are about 5-7lbs…perfect for roasting for a modern family. 90-95 days
12. Kuri Red – (aka Orange Hokkaido, aka Baby Red Hubbard) Japanese squash has a tear-drop shape with modestly smooth skin and textured sweet orange flesh. Can become 4-10lbs. Great winter keeping variety. High yielder. Another fall decorator. 92 days
13. Little Gem – continuous production of immature fruits for use as summer squash. Mature fruits are large softballs in size. Final color is a brite orange. Great keeper. Could this be the one that Mr.Jack brought over from the British Isles over 30 years ago? Has a slight teardrop shape.
14. Marina de Chioggia – an old fashioned heirloom “Sea Pumpkin of Chioggia” originated on the coast of Italy. Fruits are turban-like, large (10lbs), black/blue/dk. green ribbed skin, with numerous warts and bumps growing on the surface. A button forms on the blossom end. Rind could also be described as blistery, bubbled slate blue/dk. green. A wild, yet subdued addition for fall ornamentation. Delicious! Great for gnocchi and ravioli. Each plant bears only 2. Tolerant of most weather. 100 days
15. Mini Red Turban – (aka Small Chinese Turban) Documented in Vilmorin’s “The Vegetable Gardener” (1885) Brilliant reddish/orange small turban cap squash. Uniform size of 6” to 8” of the very best quality flavor. One of the most prolific ornamentals that folks have found. 80-100 days
16. Pennsylvania Dutch Crookneck – One of a kind…enormous 10-20lb fruits. Easy to prepare as the curved neck is completely filled tight with sweet dark orange flesh. Just cut into rings and bake. Seed is all contained neatly in the bottom of the fruit. 100-110 days
17. Queensland Blue – a winter heirloom squash obtained in 1932 from Australia. A beautiful blue skin deeply ribbed around the sides, but flat on the top and bottom. 12-20lbs. (other say 6-8lbs…) when mature. Excellent storage ability. Flesh is once again thick, dense, semi-sweet and very tasty. Yields are 2 to 3 fruits pre plant. 100-120 days
18. Red Warty Thing – (aka VICTOR) Intro. some years ago by Rupp Seeds as “RTF” after receiving some seeds from the USDA. However what they received was incorrectly labeled. After doing some research, Dr. Amy Goldman now believes this variety to be the actually true “Victor”. A variety intro. by Gregory’s Seed House in the 19th century, after Mr. Gregory saw this variety at exhibition @ county fairs. The round fruits are brilliant scarlet & completely covered in bumps. Stunning to look at and a “must have” for fall decorations. Tasty flesh. A quick seller @ garden markets.
19. Silver Edged – (C. argyrosperma) A rare find. Grown primarily for its seeds…which are very large, white and with a silver edge! Beautiful! The fruits are also strange…being like a squatting plump pear/round, with dark green and white stripes. Have been told the pale flesh is almost tasteless. Some say…fit only for chickens! Is very tolerant of adverse weather. Popular with Latin Americans  for some time.
20. Sugar Loaf / Tan Delicata – selected in 1992 from  “Delicata” heirloom of 1894 (as a variant that proved to be stable) Vines grow to 12 ft…so give them lots of room and lean soil. Each small squash makes about 2 servings for a small family. Mild flavor with yellow/orange flesh. 100 days
21. Sweet Dumpling – Sweet single-serving small diameter teacup fruits. Lovely ivory colored with wider dark green stripes…acorn styles. Round flat-topped shape…for stuffing. Very sweet, tender with orange flesh. Can store for 3-4 months. Short vines yield 8-10 fruits. Requires no curing. Do not wash with soapy water as this will remove the protective natural coating that storage requires. Just remove dirt with a dry cloth when very dry. 90 days
22. Tan Pink Butternut – attractive butternut that most groceries now carry. Average weights are usually 2-2 1/2lbs that if cut in half, will easy make one serving for a person. Excellent for baking and pies. Yields about 4-6 per plant. 105 days
23. Thelma Sanders Sweet Potato – heirloom intro. from 2 Ohio S.S.Ex. members Tom and Sue Knoche…squash specialists. Cream/tan colored acorn type fruits that will make a 2-person serving. Trailing short vines are very productive. Bushy! 85-90 days
24. Triamble – (aka Triangle, aka Tristar, aka Shamrock!) Extremely rare. First found growing in 1932 in the US. Seed was obtained from Arthur Yates & Co. of Sydney, Australia. Very thick flesh (small seed cavity). Excellent for pies, baking as is or as a vegetable summer squash. Excellent long storage. In its trials, it produced more per fruits per vine than most squash. Just love that shape and “ghostly blue” color!  115 days
25. Turk’s Cap – (aka Turk’s Turban) Intro. in 1869 as American Turban. Forms a distinctive cap or turban. Fruits grow to 8” -12” diameter and weigh up to 5 lbs. If not bruised, will last 3 months in winter. Fair for eating. Excellent decorations for the fall table. Great as a roadside market fair. 80-100 days
26. White Acorn – a lovely, almost snow white fruited squash. Heavy yields of beautiful fruits produced on compact “Bushy” plants. Small gardens will love this one! This superb acorn is mild-flavored. Was developed in the early 1980’s by Glenn Drowns.
