VARIETIES 
FALL or WINTER 
VARIETIES 
True Hubbard—The standard. 
Fruits are large, dark green, flesh 
bright, orange-yellow, cooking 
dry with an excellent flavor. Our 
strain is well selected and will be 
found satisfactory in every way. 
Banana — A prolific, oblong va¬ 
riety about 23 ^ feet long and 6 
inches in diameter with a gray- 
green shell. The flesh is solid and 
dry with a small seed cavity and 
is an excellent winter keeper. 
This is a very fine new variety. 
Blue Hubbard — A selection from 
the Hubbard. Fruit a grayish- 
blue color, large growing and a 
very good keeper due to its hard 
shells. Quality even better than 
the Hubbard. Our seed is from 
selected fruits only. 
Essex Hybrid — A turban-shaped squash, terra¬ 
cotta red in color with somewhat darker flesh 
than Hubbard and an excellent keeper. Very 
popular in New England. 
Table Queen — An acorn shaped dark green little 
Squash with a hard shell which is excellent for 
winter use. When halved and baked it may be 
eaten at the table exactly as a canteloupe. The 
flavor is delicious. 
Giant Summer Crookneck — 
Fruit much larger than the com¬ 
mon sort while just as early and 
tender. Color a deep yellow, very 
warty. Fruit often two feet long. 
Early Summer Crookneck — 
Early and of fine quality. Vine 
very bushy and so may be planted 
close together. Summer Straightneck 
White Bush Scallop — The fruit is flattened and 
scalloped, about 8 inches in diameter when 
mature and is a creamy white in color. When 
the fruits are about the size of a silver dollar they 
may be picked and prepared like Asparagus. 
They are delicious. Constant picking forces the 
plant to bear more heavily. 
Italian Vegetable Marrow (Cocozelle Longe) — 
Oblong, furrowed and ribbed. About 12 x 5, dark 
green in color mottled with yellow and striped. 
Summer Straightneck — The most desirable 
strain of summer squash on the market. It is 
early and productive, the fruit is almost uni¬ 
formly straight and holds the same shape its 
entire length and is an ideal light cream 
color which lasts until it is nearly mature. The 
warts or hard knobs do not appear for sometime. 
We recommend this to a high quality market.
