They grow very uniform, from fifteen to twenty inches in length ; the outer color is a rich golden orange, or old gold ; the skin, while thin, is tough, making it almost as good a keeper for winter use as the hard-shell winter squashes. The fruit, when young, is dark green, and changes to a rich golden-yellow as it ripens. The flesh is light yellow in color, of very rich, fine quality, and has been pronounced by lovers of pumpkin pies the very best they have ever had for this purpose. As to its prolific character, one of our customers wrote that he counted fourteen good pumpkins on one vine.
