what to call it?

14 years ago

Been picking up seeds to add to my patch...I have come across three advertized squash but feel they are the same...Fairy tale pumpkin, Muscade de Provence, an early French heirloom squash and Rumbo Hybrid, I think appeared maybe around 2005 from what I can find online....have lots to plant and don't want to over plant one kind.....is there a difference?

Just located another squash which closely resembles the other three....Tonda di Napoli...now I'm really confused...I'll probably end up planting about five of each and have my own look and taste test....

Fairy Tale is a 20-30 lb hybrid C. moschata. Rumbo is also a hybrid C. moschata with many of the same characteristics. Smaller at 10-15 lbs.
Tonda di Napoli (Round of Naples) is same as Musquee de Provence. C. moschata open pollinated. 20 lb class

Thanks farmerdilla...your a wealth of info., the ones I thought were same, were not and the one I wasn't sure of is the same...thou that is good because now I will plant all, thou similar in looks, will have different size and maybe a little different taste among them.....now I will have 46 different squash instead of 47
