Default seeking specific bush pumpkin variety

Ohioguy said:


Probably 10 years ago, I encountered a pumpkin variety at a small mom
& pop hardware store. It was a type that grew on very compact bush like
plants, but still yielded decent sized pumpkins.

However, the feature I liked the most was its essentially hull-less
seeds. I love roasted and salted pumpkin seeds, and the fact that this
variety did not have seed hulls was a big plus.

Anyone know the name of this variety? I have not been able to find
it anywhere online. Thanks!


Could it be 'Snack Jack'? Not big pumpkins, but not mini either, and
bush type.

The only naked seeded pumpkin that I know I've seen on seed racks
is Burpee's 'Triple Treat' which is shorter vined, but certainly not so
short as would be a bush-type.
