This very old variety was introduced to the USA in 1894 by seed company Peter Henderson of New York. It is a semi-bushy and very productive plant which produces fruits of 0.5 to 1 kg. Their cream-colored skin is striped with dark green and their orange-yellow flesh is firm, sweet and rich in flavor. Cooked, their taste is reminiscent of chestnuts. They keep less long than the fruits of other varieties of squash.
