Squash: Butternut - Seeds & Bulbs

Nothing beats the rich, sweet flavor of winter squash. Table King acorn squash is no exception - it has marvelous flavor. This variety is great for short seasons or late spring planting since it matures quite early for a winter squash. The compact vines grow to only 4' which makes it the perfect choice for a small garden. Don't worry about growing too much! It stores for months. All America Winner.
