Overall Taste Yield Ease	Ontario, New York, United States Frost Free Season: 163 - 183 days Soil Texture: Loam Garden Size: Small - Less than 400 square feet (20' x 20') Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day
This a very attractive and uniform squash of medium size for an acorn. The eating quality is superb. The flesh is drier than most acorn squash and is fine textured and smooth . This is my #1 choice followed by Table Queen and Table Ace.

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
Very dependable in most years. Likes to grow on the fence. Nice flavor (table queen still beats) stores very well. TOUGH skin. Take CARE when cutting.
