"Semences de Kokopelli" by Dominique Guillet
This ancient variety originated in the United States. The first types of "Butternut" appeared in New England in the 1930s. They are probably descended from "Canada Crookneck". The "Butternut Waltham" variety was developed in 1968 by Bob Young of the Waltham Agricultural Experiment Station in Massachusetts. He crossed the "New Hampshire Butternut" variety with a collarless variety from Turkey. New Hamsphire Butternut" had been developed in 1956 by Yeager and Meader from a cross between "Butternut" and "Taurukubi".
