Atlantic Giant

An improved strain of one of the largest pumpkins in the world. Excellent for fall displays, the huge pumpkins are pale orange with a pink tinge. 50 to 100 pounders are commonly grown. Fertile soil, irrigation, wide spacing (70 or more sq.ft./plant), and limiting each long-vined plant to one fruit commonly results in 200 to 300 pounders, though it has been known to grow even larger. Originally bred by Howard Dill of Nova Scotia.Specs:Packet: 15 seedsAvg. 1,400 seeds/lb
