Pumpkins!! Odd and Ends from Old Seed Catalogs

I love pumpkin pie!  Also pumpkin bread, and just plain pumpkin as a side dish.  

I have pumpkin pie for breakfast.  I think that works as I don't use much sugar, relying on stevia for the sweetness and just a little molasses to give the sweetness some depth. 



The page of pumpkins is from Everitt's 1894 catalog.  My second favorite name here is Winter Luxury.  The sort of name to make a pumpkin lover purr.

 My favorite is the Quaker Pie pumpkin. Great name...bet it would sell pumpkins really well today!

This excerpt from Currie Brothers 1906 catalog  has the Quaker Pie pumpkin, too.

On the other hand, the name Golden Oblong doesn't hack it.
