Improved American Turban Squash
An excellent variety for use in the autumn and early winter. Flesh orange yellow, thick, fine-grained, sugary and well flavored. Usually of a greenish color, striped with white, though often yellowish white, without stripes. In form, resembling a turban, or Turk's cap. This variety is not to be confounded with the French Turban variety, which is more showy, but inferior in quality
