Bakerys

An ornamental squash shaped like a bowling pin. Rind is yellow-orange with green stripes running from end to end. Fruit measure 9-11 inches long, 4-5 inches wide at the bulbous end, and weigh 2.5-3.5 pounds. Flesh is pale orange and rather bland and stringy. Plants sprawl extensively and are highly productive. Donated to SSE by Emma Adkins (KY AD E, 1935-2011). Emma received this variety from her mother, Anna Wells, who raised the squash for as long as Emma could remember. The family typically cuts the fruits in half, sprinkles with sugar, and bakes them. SSE Accession # 120221
