BLUE HUBBARD. True High Yielding Strain. This strain 
-- ot Blue Hubbard which we have bred our¬ 
selves is a very heavy yielder and the truest and most uniform which 
we have ever seen. 
The fruit is an attractive blue gray color, similar in type to the old 
Hubbard, but larger and more warted. The flesh is thick of deep 
yellow color and of fine flavor and texture. 
This squash has proved a very profitable farm crop as the demand 
for these squash is steadily growing especially in Eastern Markets.

QUALITY Our Favorite. The Best Flavored Squash. Fine 
-Grained and Sweet. Of all the squash we grow and 
sell, this is our favorite variety. The thick deep colored flesh of these 
fine squash cooks as dry as a good sweet potato and is sweeter and 
finer flavored than any other kind we know. The fruit is medium size 
(5-10 lbs.) a very convenient size for family use. The outside shell is 
dark green, thin and hard. The vines are strong and healthy and 
produce excellent crops. 
We know of no more satisfactory kind for the home garden and the 
present trend toward the smaller and better quality sorts both in the 
city markets and at roadside stands makes this a profitable kind to 
grow. These attractive dark green squash find a ready sale. Be sure 
to try some this year.

DELICIOUS. For Fine Flavor. With the exception of the “Quality” 
this is the finest flavored winter squash we know. It is rich and sweet 
and so dry and fine grained that it resembles a good sweet potato. The 
fruit has a dark green shell with bright orange flesh. It is of medium 
size; not as large as Hubbard but is very heavy. This is a favorite 
home garden kind and market gardeners are finding it increasingly 
profitable to grow.
