4 HUBBARD SQUASH 4 
These four varieties of the ever-popular Hubbard Squash make 
it possible for almost everyone to enjoy one of our most delicious 
winter vegetables. They grow readily, yield freely, and make 
friends everywhere. 
HUBBARD. One of the best of the winter Squashes. Very pro¬ 
ductive. The fruits are large, heavy and moderately warted, 
with a very hard shell; skin dark bronze-green; flesh bright 
orange-yellow, fine-grained, thick, dry, and richly flavored. 
This Squash can be kept in good condition until spring. Pkg. 
10c; oz. 15c; 34 lb- 40c; lb. $1.25. 
BLUE HUBBARD. Here is a Hubbard Squash of gray-blue color 
whose meat is thicker, of better quality and keeps longer than 
the original Hubbard. It will pay you to try it in your garden. 
The most popular market variety in New York State. Pkg. 10c; 
oz. 15c; 34 lb. 40c; lb. $1.25. 
WARTED HUBBARD. Similar to the Hubbard, but with thicker 
flesh, deeper color and densely warted. A good variety for 
winter storage. Pkg. 10c; oz. 15c; 34 lb. 45c; lb. $1.45. 
GOLDEN or RED HUBBARD. Medium size, weighing from 6 
to 8 pounds; in shape like the Hubbard, although in condition 
for use decidedly earlier. They are long keepers and can be held 
in good condition for spring use. The flesh is deep orange-red, 
dry, fine-grained and richly flavored. Pkg. 10c; oz. 15c; 34 lb. 
40c; lb. $1.25. 
Winter Squash 
DELICIOUS. This is the finest flavored of any of the winter Squashes. 
The meat is so dry and fine-grained that it greatly resembles that 
of a good sweet potato. Delicious does not grow as large as Hub¬ 
bard, usually weighing from 5 to 10 lbs., but is very heavy as the 
orange-colored flesh is so thick that there is but very little seed 
cavity in the center. A splendid winter keeper and one you should 
grow in your garden. Pkg. 10c; oz. 20c; 34 lb. 45c; lb. $1.45. 
Italian Vegetable Marrow 
Italian or Vick’s Summer Asparagus. Grows like a summer Squash. 
Fruit oblong and deep green. Cut when not more than 5 inches 
long. This is the Vegetable Marrow so largely grown in Europe, 
and its fine qualities as a garden vegetable make it worthy of room 
in your own garden. Try it this year and give it plenty of sheep 
manure and water. Cook and serve same as asparagus. Cut in 
small pieces and creamed, sliced and fried, or used as a salad, 
it is very delicious. Plant in hills in May and every two weeks until 
July. This should be in every garden. Pkg. 10c; oz. 20c; 34 lb. 
45c; lb. $1.45. 
A New High-Quality Squash 
TABLE QUEEN or ACORN 
People who have tried this Squash claim its quality superior to 
that of any other. It is a small kind, about the size of a cocoanut, 
thin-skinned, with thick meat, dry and mealy. To cook, cut in half, 
place a lump of butter on one half, top with the other, and then bake 
whole. Half a Squash serves one person. An enormous yielder—a 
few hills will supply a good-sized family. Try it this year—we are 
sure you will like it. Pkg. 10c; oz. 15c; 34 lb. 45c; lb. $1.45.
