Blue Hubbard 
Harris’ Selected Strain 
This stock is the result of years of close 
breeding and is considered the finest, purest 
stock grown. It can be relied on to produce 
immense yields of large true type squash. The 
seed we sell is all of our own growing. 
Although this was originally strictly a 
New England variety, the fine quality, 
enormous yields and excellent keeping quality 
have made this a most popular kind 
throughout the East. 
Ours is the large, rugged strain that pro¬ 
duces big yields that bring top prices. 
See prices below.
