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!

Just off the top of my head, the name "Godiva" comes to me.

Hmm, for a second I was excited and thought that Godiva might be the
variety, but it is not.

It doesn't specifically mention anything about it being a bush, and
the seed packet I looked at most definitely did not show a mottled
appearance.

I seem to recall the seed packet stressing 3 aspects:

1) decent sized orange pumpkins made good pies or Jack O Lanterns

2) vines were very small bush type

3) hull-less seeds for roasting

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.

Finally figured out I was thinking of "Triple Treat" from Burpee, and
my memory wasn't from 10 years ago - it was from the late 80's.
Evidently I thought it was a bush type, but it is not.

Maybe a hull-less orange bush type doesn't actually exist!
