Planting Instructions:
After all danger of frost is passed and the weather has warmed, plant four to five seeds, 1 inch deep, in hills spaced 6 feet apart. When seedlings are 2 inches tall, thin to 2 plants per hill. Pumpkins prefer rich soil. Feed at planting time and again at the 4 to 5 leaf development stage.

Perfect germ, no pest or disease problems. Be warned: without daily training, they will take over (trust me). Prolific to the point of insanity; largest fruits well over 25 lbs. Harden off and store as well as Boston Marrow. Fruits are classic shape and very uniform within weight category. A keeper if ever there was one.
