Winter Luxury.
The best. Small pumpkins, maybe 5 lb., with good smooth texture and 
excellent flavor. We made pies with about 6 kinds of pumpkins/squash last 
year and the clear winner was Winter Luxury. 95 day maturity - can you work 
with that? Some of the moschata types are also very good. Of course, stay 
away from the nice looking big Halloween type things; the Red Deliciouses 
of the pumpkin world. I must admit, we haven't grown butternut squash yet.
