This is probably the true Pumpkin Sweet or Lyman's Pumpkin Sweet. It has 

 been found in nurseries under the name of Pound Sweet; but another variety, 

 very distinct in the nursery tree, is believed to be the true Pound Sweet. The 

 latter has leaves very different from the leaves of this variety, being very broad 

 or roundish, with distinct, rather sharp serrations.
