A squash so aptly named, as it resembles nothis more than this. French records suggest it has been grown since the early 19th century and probably before. Fine earring (the flesh is moister than most squashes) despite this somewhat off-handed description by Mr Thompson in The Gardener’s Assistant, 1859, “Fruit middle-sized, flat, with a round margin, and elevated centre, which is deep green, the rest is yellow or pale cream. Flesh firm. This variety is chiefly grown for ornamentation in this country.”
