MAULE'S IMPROVED HUBBARD SQUASH. 



THE ACKNOWLEDGED STANDARD FOR QUALITY 



More people in more places plant the Hubbard Squash than any other 

 sort; that is, It is the American favorite. It out-sells all other varieties 

 in winter in the great Eastern 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 ditferences in 

 the Hubbard type which should be recognized by progressive gardeners. 



Maule's Improved Hubbard represents the perfection of the type. 



The flesh is of a rich yellow or orange color, and Is very fine grained, 

 solid, dry and sweet. The toughness of the rind or shell makes it 

 a good keeper. The color varies somewhat, being sometimes green and 

 sometimes reddish when mature; but the color and quality of the flesh 

 are fixed and uuchaugeable— always a deep golden yellow or orange.
