"120 days. When the first settlers arrived in New England, native Americans were growing pumpkins that looked like this one among their corn. It is the original Halloween pumpkin and makes great pies too."

Smashing Punkins!,
August 26, 2008 Submitted byJoolikins from Inland southern CA
"I grew these in hideous clay soil, with only a shovelful of horse manure six inches below and mulched with straw. 95% sprout rate, and the strong vines snaked all over to lengths of 15' to gossip with all the other veggies. My pumpkins are even better-looking than the one in the Burpee picture, so there. Beautiful to handle for cooking, and excellent for carving. I'm looking for fuller flavor, and improved soil conditions next year should help with that. Easy to grow and a pleasure to have."

"I am very pleased with this pumpkin. This my first gardening endeavor and I am very happy with the results. These pumpkins are very easy to take care of and are fun to watch. I was surprised how fast they sprouted and then kept growing."

"This pumpkin is exellent. It produced a good yeild, tastes great, and grows like a charm. It is not reistant to powdery mildew, and does suffer with that problem. But luckly, it does not fully appear until the fall, and the fruits are basically ready to ripen by then. I will recommend this pumpkin to anyone, of any age, who loves pumpkins like me."
