Howden is the traditional old-time Halloween favorite. The 20 to 30 lb, intensely bright orange pumpkins have defined ribs and strong handles for jack-o-lanterns. Large spreading 10 ft vines produce 4 to 6 carving pumpkins per plant.

• Plant after frost danger when soil warms to 65 deg F
• Start indoors 3 to 4 weeks before anticipated transplant date
• Leave on vine until fully mature, rinds should be firm
