Hubbard Squash 
HUBBARD SQUASH 
True old time Hubbard, famous for its high quality and 
hard to beat for storing. The quality of the True Hubbard can 
hardly be improved upon. By saving for a number of years, the 
seed from fruits formed on the strongest and thriftiest vines, 
we succeeded in putting higher yielding qualities into our 
strain of Hubbard. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 25c; 1 lb. $1.00. 
BLUE HUBBARD—Some growers claim that Blue Hub¬ 
bard is superior in quality, more productive and a surer crop 
than regular Hubbard. Its appearance is very attractive on ac¬ 
count of its blue color. You will find our strain true to type. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; lb. $1.00. 
Squashes 
CULTURE—1 oz. for 20 to 40 hills, 4 to 6 lbs. to one acre, 
depending on the variety whether small or large seeded. 
Squash does best on heavy well manured and moist soil. 
Plant about May 10th, as the later plantings are subject to be 
attacked by the striped beetle. Plant the bush varieties in 
hills 3 by 4 feet, dropping 5 seeds in each hill. The winter 
varieties, like Hubbard, require more room and the hills 
should be 8 by 6 feet. Cultivate often but shallow. 
About Squash Varieties 
Squash is divided into two broad classes, summer squash 
or those prepared (as a rule) by slicing, rolling in flour, 
cracker crumbs, ground parched sweet corn, etc.; and winter 
squash, which is cut or broken into moderate sized pieces and 
baked in the oven or made into pies. 
If you want a real treat in Summer Squash try COCO- 
ZELLA. It is in its prime when about 8 inches long. At this 
stage they are very tender and sweet and have no hard rind. 
If prepared like Egg Plant you’ll find a dish you’ll truly like. 
The finest flavored and best squash for baking and pies is 
DELICIOUS; for storing for winter the old standby, HUB¬ 
BARD, has no superior. Banana is of large size and wherever 
this feature is particularly desirable it is the sort to plant. 
About the handsomest of all squashes is Golden Delicious. 
Its vivid orange color catches the eye. It also ranks high in 
quality. Buttercup, a new squash which we do not list, will 
hardly ever become popular because it lacks attractiveness. 
Early Yellow Bush squash is superior in appearance to Early 
White Bush and so is Bennings squash.
