635 Improved Hubbard 
The leading Hubbard squash (100 days)

represents the perfection of &ll large 
winter squashes. The fruits grow about 
10 by 12 in. in size and weigh about 
12 Ibs. The flesh is rich orange-yellow, 
fine grained, solid, dry, and lusciously 
sweet. The toughness of the dark olive- 
green warted rind makes it the favorite 
for winter use, keeping well until spring 
if properly stored. Improved Hubbard 
is not only used in every squash recipe 
but also as a superior material for bak- 
ing pumpkin pies.

unique and attractive. Fruits grow 44% 
in. thick and 61% in. across, with a 
heart-shaped protuberance at the blos- 
som end. Skin is green with stripes and 
spots of gray; flesh is thick, orange, dry, 
sweet, of the finest texture, and really 
supreme quality. The fruits are small 
enough to be baked whole, and this 
method of preparation is something 
which must be tried to be appreciated. 
Medium sized fruits require about 14% 
hours in a moderate oven. Good keeper.

Buttercup 
645 Red or Golden 
Hubbard 
Orange-red skin (92 days) 
Similar to the Improved Hubbard in size 





and shape, often weighing the same in spite of 
its earlier maturity, but differing from it in 
having deep orange-red colored skin which 
makes it particularly attractive. The thick 
orange-yellow flesh is richer in color than 
Hubbard, but of the same fine-grained texture 
and sweet luscious flavor. Red or Golden Hub- 
bard is easily stored throughout the winter.

Plauting Guide 
All squash grows best in a deep, fertile soil. Bush 
varieties are grown in rows or hills 4 by 4 ft. apart; 
running varieties, 8 by 8 ft. apart. Sow seed in spring 
when soil has become warm. Thin bush yarieties to 4 
plants in a hill, running varieties to 2 to 4 plants toa 
hill. A packet will plant 8 hills; bush varieties, one oz. — 
40 hills; running varieties, one oz. 50 hills; 3 to 4 Ibs. 
per acre. ; 
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 ‘‘pumpkin’’ pie. 


















630 Acorn ¥ 
Also known as Table Queen (58 days) 
The smooth, hard shell is deeply ribbed and 
dark green, 514 in. long and 4 in. thick. Vines 
are long and vigorous. The half-grown fruits 
are fine for summer use; fully grown fruits are 
excellent winter keepers. The mature Acorn, 
like other small squashes, is at its best when 
baked whole. It is then cut in half, the seeds 
removed, and served in the shell. Prepared this 
Way, it is the world’s finest squash.

Acorn 
Ib. $1.30. 
A number of fine characteristics make this 
new squash worthy of a place in your garden. 
The seed cavity is very small, being confined 
to the globular bottom of the fruit. The thick 
neck is solid flesh, just right for slicing. The 
fruits when baked have an indescribable nut- 
like flavor superior to any squash we have 
ever tasted. Fruits measure 4 to 5 in. thick at 
the widest point and 10 to 12 in. long. Just 
right for baking whole. Winter keeper.
