Varieties

An employee-owned company

Native to North America, pumpkins have been a significant

fall harvest crop for over 5,000 years. Choose from:

• Award-winning Johnny's-bred varieties

• Select, open-pollinated heirlooms

• Vigorous, disease-resistant hybrids

We offer organic and conventional forms in diverse colors,

sizes, and shapes, for carving jack-o'-lanterns, baking pies,

seed roasting and oil extraction, as well as traditional fall

decorations.

Use our convenient charts to compare days to maturity,

average weights, edibility, spacing, vine length, and other

variety-specific features.

Igor (F1) Shiver (F1) Grizzly Bear (F1)Tall and lurking, Igor is very uniform in size, shape, and menace. Dark orange skin, deep ribs, and a pronounced shoulder create a foreboding look, while a strong handle carries the weight well. Avg. 25–35 lb. Bred by Dr. Lindsay Wyatt at Johnny's.

Gleaming white, tabletop pumpkin with strong green handles that won't snap off. Cute blocky shape. Avg. weight: 11/2–21/2 lb. Bush habit allows for tighter spacing and higher yields. Holds its color well. Bred by Dr. Brent Loy of the Univ. of New Hampshire.

Unique coloration and a warty appearance will make this 6–10 lb. variety stand out in an autumn display or at a farmers' market. A prolific, early yielder of uniform, durable fruits. Long, vigorous vines. Intermediate resistance to powdery mildew.
