Burgess Buttercup
Cucurbita maxima
100 days — 'Burgess Buttercup' squash fruit average five to eight inches in diameter, range from three to five pounds each, and have fine-grained flesh that when cured properly, is very sweet. They are shaped like a flattened turban with a blossom end button. Good maritime variety.
Under optimum conditions, these vines can reach fifteen feet and set twenty or more fruits per vine! Each packet contains four grams, which is approximately 18 to 20 seeds.
Planting Instructions:
Choose a location that has warm, well-drained and fertile soil. Work in plenty of organic matter and mulch to conserve moisture, as squash are heavy water consumers.
Sow directly in garden after threat of frost has passed. Seed will not germinate if soil is too cold. Sow one inch deep in hills or rows spaced 24 to 30 inches apart. You may also start seed indoors three to four weeks before transplanting. Although the name or description of this variety refers to a modern company's name, the seed we are offering is in no way sourced from, "owned by" or connected with that company. The name is simply the historically accurate, common name for the variety giving credit to the seedsmen that originally released it.
