    Part of the Super Freak (TM) series. Large (12") elongated pumpkins that develop blisters on the rind as they ripen. Very effective for jack-o-lantern carving or simply as a stand-alone decoration. Try pairing with the smaller Goosebumps (8"). I was somewhat disappointed in the relatively small amount of blistering, but it could have been my weather as other members have posted impressively blistered fruit.
