Info. from Wood and Sons 1959 catalog -- We have never grown a pumpkin that combined so many gd qualties. It not only grows to an immense size but its keeping qlty is most remark able. (Have been kept for 1 year in fine condition.) Best pumpkin for southern growers. Oval shaped, thick flesh of fine flavor makes a delicious pumpkin pie. Equally good for stock feeding. Planted in May or June. Can plant in corn.
