Tom,
I'm attempting to grow Amish Pie & Musquee de Provence this year. Will see how it goes and report back in this thread if I'm successful. They both sound like great ones. AP can get over 60 lbs. according to Baker Creek's catalog while MdP can get up to 20 lbs.
Baker Creek's description says Amish Pie is an excellent long-keeper, and SSE's description of Musquee de Provence says it's a good keeper. Maybe others can comment on these two who have actually grown them. I wanted MdP based on the looks and description of the flavor. AP I wanted because of the flavor and size indicated in the blurb.
And of course, if I'm successful growing them I'll save seeds to offer anyone interested.
Carolyn,
The warted French variety you mentioned might be Galeux D'Eysines, although there's another one I believe that gets warts like that I've seen in the seed catalogs.
Jeff
