Siegers Seed Company has released
two new pumpkin varieties and a new gourd variety that opens up
a totally new class.
 KNUCKLE
HEAD, GOOSE BUMPS, and GREMLINS are the first three varieties of
the new Super Freak ™ Series. All three are heavily warted;
pumpkins and a spectacular variety of unique gourds that are
unlike anything currently being sold in the decorative
pumpkin/gourd market. “They are completely unique,” said Roy
Pearman, Director of Sales and Marketing for Siegers, “and give
our growers something different to sell in addition to their
current pumpkin and gourd sales. These varieties fit the market
because they demonstrate a perfect theme for Halloween by
creating perfectly freaky and scary Jack O Lanterns”.
Siegers Seed Company has
put over 10 generations of breeding and dedication into these
varieties in order to get them perfect. Small warted gourds have
long been a standard fall decoration, but no one has yet been
able to bring a full-sized reliably- and heavily-warted pumpkin
to the market until now. With KNUCKLE HEAD and GOOSE BUMPS,
Siegers has broken that mold. Additionally, GREMLINS is a
spectacular variety of uniquely shaped and colored large warted
gourds. They truly are amazing! Test marketing has shown the new
class to be a hit with consumers. According to Pearman, “nobody
has ever seen anything like it. The Super Freaks ™ not only sell
well, but they attract attention to the other items being
offered for sale. They truly increase profitability by expanding
the market.” Since the varieties are opening a new class,
Pearman sees this as “the next big thing” with unlimited growth
potential, so Siegers has “an ongoing program with more sizes,
shapes, and colors in the pipeline. If Unique is what you seek…
these are just the first three of what is yet to come”!
