Select Hubbard 
SQUASH 
One ounce will sow 25 hills; 3 pounds an acre 
The Squash is best cultivated in good, rich soil. Being a tender vine and very 
sensitive to cold, the seed should not be sown until the weather is warm and settled. 
Plant in hills which have been previously prepared by mixing a plentiful supply of 
fertilizer into the soil. The hills for bush varieties should be 4 feet apart each way 
and 8 feet apart for the trailing-vine varieties. Six to eight seeds may be used to a 
hill, and thin out to two of the strongest plants when they have grown their third 
leaf. A spraying with arsenate of lead solution when the young plants appear above 
ground will protect them from the attack of insects.

SELECT HUBBARD. This is the strain that Mr. Frank 
Dunning worked on for years and selected to get a real 
Warted Hubbard and he always took the first prize where- 
ever he had them on exhibit. They grow to a large size, 
thick heavy meat. Weigh 25 to 30 pounds each and keep 
a nice green color and does not turn brown like some 
Squash do. I got hold of some stock seed from this Squash 
and the grower that raised them for me he said he has raised 
Squash for the last 40 years, but he has never seen such a 
beautiful and perfect shape and I am only sorry that I do 
not have a very large supply to offer, because I know there is 
going to be a big demand for this particular strain of 
Squash .$0.10 $0.30 $1.00 
New Brighton. This squash is an improvement over the original 
warted Hubbard. Almost again as large, it will be extra 
fine for the hotels and restaurants, but too large for a 
market variety. This squash is sent out by the Minnesota 
Agricultural Station .15 .40 1.50 
Connecticut (Lemon-color) Straightneck. A new strain de¬ 
veloped by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Sta¬ 
tion, and proving popular because of its earliness, lemon- 
yellow color and the fact that it is smaller, has fewer and 
less prominent warts than the old strain.10 .35
