Cucurbita pepo
Minimum seed count: 15
 
A Native American variety probably originating in New England.  It was once widely grown in Androscoggin County, Maine, where this prolific squash could commonly be seen stacked up like firewood.  It probably would have gone extinct, but a man named LeRoy Souther, of Livermore Falls, Maine, maintained it for more than 30 years.  In the late 1980's he brought the seeds to Maine's Common Ground Fair, and it ended up being re-introduced to the world of seed commerce.
The long, 3-5 pound fruits look much like zucchinis, and often don't turn orange until they've been in storage for awhile.  In fact, young, tender fruit can be eaten as a summer squash.  Vines are incredibly productive, and squash can be stored all winter in cool conditions.
Flesh is smooth and sweet, and makes excellent pumpkin pies!
