Abstract
Cultivars of Cucurbita mixta Pang, have been slowly disappearing from listings in seed catalogs in the United States. Several years ago 4 cultivars were listed: ‘Green Striped Cushaw’, ‘White Cushaw,’ ‘Japanese Pie,’ and ‘Tennessee Sweet Potato.’ Today, ‘Green Striped Cushaw’ is occasionally listed. Of the other 3 cultivars, the author has recently seen only fruits of ‘White Cushaw’, which were produced by growers who save their own seed. Although these 4 cultivars of C. mixta are productive, they are very susceptible to powdery mildew, which may account for their decline in popularity.
