Overall Taste Yield Ease	Maryland, United States Frost Free Season: 163 - 183 days Soil Texture: Loam Garden Size: Small - Less than 400 square feet (20' x 20') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
Good results despite heavy mildew pressure. Fun for kids and adults alike because the white surface is a perfect fopr painting.

Overall Taste Yield Ease	Ulster, New York, United States Frost Free Season: Fewer than 103 days Soil Texture: Not Sure Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
Beautiful shape, medium size white pumpkin sometimes with very pale green streaks. 2-3 pumpkins per plant in good years. We like these much better than other white pumpkins. Beauty bonus: the leaves are cupped and reflect moonlight, especially on full moon nights.
