Delica |
Number one in the export buttercup market. Both Delica and T-133 are similar in appearance in both shape and size. Delica has an attractive dark green skin with a light green mottle. Delica offers better vigour and higher yields than T-133, and is more suitable if early sowing is planned |

T-133 |
A dry "Kabocha" type with reputedly good flavour for the segment of the Japanese market that prefers this squash type. T-133 has often compared more than favourably against other dry types. Sowings of T-133 should be confined to the warmest weeks of the growing season. |
