Maule's 

 Improved 

 Hubbard 



Maule's Winter Squash 



Culture: Winter squashes require the same general cultural directions as the summer varieties but 

 need a longer growing season to mature. Fruits must remain on the vine until they have fully 

 matured; gather them before frost, leaving part of the stem attached. Keep in a moderately warm, 

 dry place until used. Handle carefully so as not to bruise them, for bruises may cause decay. 

 Examine fruits in storage from time to time. Many of the winter squashes make excellent "pump- 

 kin" pie. Because the plants make such a vigorous rampant growth, the hills should be spaced 

 8 by 8 ft. apart.
