Cinderella
(Rouge Vif d'Etampes)
(Rouge Vif d'Etampes)
Cucurbita maxima
95 days — 'Cinderella', also known as 'Rouge Vif d'Etampes', is a French heirloom variety that is both very productive and beautiful. The fruit are flattened, deeply ribbed, and slightly concave on their tops. They average fifteen inches across and only six inches high weighing up to twenty five pounds.
The skin color is a brilliant reddish-orange and their flesh has an excellent flavor. A good choice for pies or winter squash recipes. Each packet contains four grams, which is approximately 16 to 20 seeds.
Planting Instructions:
After all danger of frost is passed and the weather has warmed, plant four to five seeds, 1 inch deep, in hills spaced 6 feet apart. When seedlings are 2 inches tall, thin to 2 plants per hill. Pumpkins prefer rich soil. Feed at planting time and again at the 4 to 5 leaf development stage.
Keep watered during the dry weather and cultivate or mulch to reduce weeds. Harvest fruit when skin has turned completely orange and it cannot be easily dented with your fingernail. Cut from vine leaving a two inch stem.
