Very thick, long, strong handles.
Howden-size (avg. 25 lb.) with huge handles. Distinctive, round pumpkins are deep orange with moderate rib. Thick flesh helps prevent flat-siding. Nice breeding work by Western New York farmer Chris Awald. Matures late. NOTE: Wolf takes more room to grow than other pumpkin varieties. Plant 2-3 seeds every 3' in rows 12' apart. Once seedlings have germinated, thin out every other grouping of seedlings so you are left with a grouping of seedlings every 6'. Avg. yield: 2 fruits/plant. Order 2487T (Treated/film-coated, available 1/4 lb. and larger. Add $2.00/lb.) or 2487 (Untreated). Avg. 2,500 seeds/lb. Packet: 30 seeds.

Pumpkins
CULTURE: Refer to "Winter Squash".
PLANT SPACING: Medium- and large-fruited pumpkin varieties need plenty of growing room for sufficient sunlight penetration for successful fruiting, and to grow to their fruit size potential. Rules of thumb: Small fruited = 18 sq.ft./plant; Medium = 24; Large = 30; Giant = 48.
TIMING: Sow pumpkins to mature in Sept. for the fall decorating market. Too many days of sun on fruits in the field after maturity will bleach handles and sunscald the fruits.
HARVEST: Before frost or after 1 or 2 light frosts. Clip stems close to the vine. Use care to avoid gouging or bruising. Store under cover with plenty of air.
