Howden-
The standard large pumpkin was created by John Howden of Massachusetts during the early 1970s. It became the epitome of big Halloween pumpkins, featuring a vibrant deep orange color, well-defined ribs, and sturdy handles. The shape and weight of the pumpkins may vary, with an average size of 18-26 pounds or even larger. Although they were already impressive back then, the newer hybrids have proven to be more reliable in terms of both quality and yield. These pumpkins are derived from the original stock developed by John Howden and are USDA Certified Organic

They are widely recognized as a popular type of mini jack-o'-lantern pumpkin that is perfect for making pies.
