New Golden Hubbard 
First Offered by Us as a Novelty. Now Known and 
Grown in Every State in the Union 
This is a true Hubbard Squash, except in color, which 
is bright golden. It ripens its crop very early and uni¬ 
formly, thus making it a certain cropper. The fruits 
are very uniform in size, weighing from 6 to 8 pounds, 
and in shape are like the Hubbard. Through maturing 
early, they are wonderfully long keepers, so they can be 
held over in good condition for canning use. The shell 
is warty, hard and strong, and a very beautiful orange 
red color, except for a bit of olive green on the blossom 
end. It cooks very dry, fine grained and good flavored. 
Pkt. 7c; oz. 13c; 2 oz. 20c; y 4 lb. 35c; y 2 lb. 65c; lb. 
$1.15; 2 lb. $2.15, postpaid. 
New Golden Hubbard 
The Best “All Purpose” 
Squash Grown 
This new Squash is a 
heavy yielder and the best 
all-purpose variety ever 
grown. Can be used when 
quite young and will keep 
splendidly for a winter 
squash. The color is gray¬ 
ish-green, shell soft, so that 
it can be cut with a knife. 
It grows from eighteen to 
thirty inches long and six to 
nine inches in diameter. It 
is very prolific but a shy 
seeder. Flesh is of yellow 
color; entirely free from fibre 
or stringiness. Cooks up 
perfectly smooth and is of 
most delicious flavor. Ma¬ 
tures rather late and should be planted early 
if very large fruits are desired. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 18c; 2 oz. 28c; V 4 lb. 45c; V 2 lb. 80c; lb. 
$1.40; 2 lb. $2.50, postpaid.
