Witnessing a beloved heirloom of antiquity have its renaissance moment is one of our favorite parts of the job. This large, warted squash was listed in the J.H. Gregory's seed catalog in 1883 and was depicted with a drawing in the 1887 edition. Gregory's described it as a \"cross between a turban and a hubbard, with the shape of the former and the skin of the latter… a uniform and heavy cropper.\" This ornamental pumpkin was popular, especially among New England seed companies. However, it eventually fell into obscurity and became quite rare. We are delighted to see this old New England heirloom resurrected and used for everything from autumnal displays to pumpkin soup and bread! Rich, sweet flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511829987614,"sku":"SQ155","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/squash_winter_essex_hybrid.jpg?v=1782406150","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.sbs\/products\/squash-winter-essex-hybrid","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
