Pumpkin: Musque de Provence

This stunning heirloom pumpkin hails from the south of France. It continues to be well-loved both in Europe and the United States for its unusual red flesh as well as its skin coloring, which ranges from dark green to tan to chocolate brown as it matures. Musquee de Provence came to America in 1899 and was first sold by Vaughan's Seed Store in Chicago. Known for its deeply ridged, flat shape, this pumpkin is popular both for its decorative qualities and its long storage ability. It often grows to 20 pounds. Also known as the Fairytale pumpkin.
