Winter Squashes 
«s Maule’s Improved Hubbard 
THE ACKNOWLEDGED STANDARD FOR QUALITY 
More people in more places plant the Hubbard Squash than any other 
sort; that is, itis the American favorite. It out-sells all other varieties 
in winter in the great Hastern markets. It is an especial favorite in New 
York and New England, but reaches perfection almost everywhere at 
the North from ocean to ocean. Thousands and tens of thousands of 
barrels of Hubbards are annually disposed of in Philadelphia, New York 
and Boston. While the average strain is good there are differences in 
the Hubbard type which should be recognized by progressive gardeners. 
Maule’s Improved Hubbard represents the perfection of the type.
