PUMPKIN 
To the seedsman or horticulturist the term, pumpkin, refers chiefly to varieties of 
Cucurbita pepo and Cucurbita moschata. They are used primarily for pie-making or for 
stock feeding. Cucurbita maxima refers chiefly to winter squashes. According to many 
botanists, the three groups are botanically distinct. Cucurbita maxima (true squash) 
crosses only with C. moschata while the latter also crosses with C. pepo—the species is 
indicated after the varietal name. 
Maturity figures represent average time from field planting to full edible develop- 
ment of fruit, and size figures denote average measurements of full grown fruits.
