Mandan

At last I have tracked down an original strain of Mandan Squash. It has taken me years of growing different strains to finally have a strain that I feel confident is the original. The Mandan Squash was originally grown by the Mandan Indians of North Dakota. The squat cream and green striped squash each weigh about 2 lbs. They are best used as a summer squash when they are young, but I love them as gourds when they mature. This is one of the earliest squash available and I am very excited to be able to offer this rare variety. EXTREMELY RARE. (10 seeds /pkt.)

Omaha Pumpkin

Dr. Melvin Gilmore originally obtained seed from the Omaha Indians in the early 1900’s. The Oscar Will Seed Company then introduced this variety in 1924. In the Oscar Will Seed Catalog (1953) it states, "A very early, oblong, orange, thick meated sort." The fruit are 3-5 lbs and make cute oblong Jack-O-Lanterns. The Omaha Pumpkin is very early and strongly recommended for short season climates. EXTREMELY RARE. (10 seeds/pkt)

Ronde de Nice

An Italian heirloom that is one of the tastiest zucchinis available. The round green slightly striped fruit are ideal for stuffing but can be used for any recipe requiring zucchini. Best picked from 14" for stuffing. Can be left on the vine to produce small "pumpkins" for fall decorations. Ideal for small gardens because the round fruit are produced on bush plants. Excellent variety. (50 days)
