662To Thomas Jefferson from Francis Carr, 26 September 1823 (Jefferson Papers)
Instead of the seed, I send you three potatoe pumpkins—The two smallest, I should think from their form, are the most genuine. The fourth is a Cushaw, (my ear directs the Orthography as I have only heard the name,) not inferior, when thoroughly ripe, in their edible qualities to the potatoe pumpkin. Both delight in a light, moist soil—fresh land is very propitious to their growth—You would...
