Cucurbita maxima
Golden Delicious Squash Seeds (98 days)

Gills Bros. of Portland Oregon introduced Golden Delicious squash in 1926 (see below).
This brilliant orange squash reaches 8-14 pounds.
Was touted to be as sweet as a sweet potato.
Golden Delicious Squash makes a great canning squash, roasted or a great baby food. 15-20' vines so give them lots of room or plant them under your corn.
High in Vitamin A.
(The shape shows a great deal of variation, even in the Gills Bros. Catalog. The 1939 catalog shows a picture with a completely different shape then the 1933 picture show here.)
Gills Bros Seed Company Says about Golden Delicious Squash....
"We take much pride in offering this remarkable squash of our own origin. We have not found any variety that will equal it for quality. It is the finest squash for pies and even picked young as summer squash, the quality is outstanding. It cooks extra dry, fine grained and sweet. Many of our friends say it is better than a sweet potato. ....a fine keeper. It grows vigorous and produces heavy crops"
