A packet of seed of winter varieties will plant 3 to 4 hills; an ounce 15 hills; 3 to 4 lbs. of seed per acre. 
These varieties have very large running vines and should be planted in hills 6 to 8 feet apart each way. The vines often extend 20 feet in all direc- 
tions, although they may be trained to grow in a narrower row. Working manure or fertilizer into the soil around the hill will greatly improve the 
crop. Plant in May or early June, after danger of frost is past. 
770 BLUE HUBBARD. True High Yielding Strain. Harris’ 
Blue Hubbard is in a class by itself. 
This strain which we have bred ourselves is a very heavy yielder and 
the truest, most uniform stock grown. 
The fruit is attractive blue gray color, rough and rugged, and grows 
to enormous size. The shape is shown in the photograph above. The 
flesh is thick, of deep yellow color and of fine flavor and texture. 
This squash is a very profitable farm crop as there is always a great 
demand for these large fine squash, especially on Eastern markets. 
It is also good to raise in the garden because of its heavy yield and 
excellent storage qualities.

800 IMPROVED WARTED HUBBARD. Dark Green. The most 
widely grown green squash. This strain of Hubbard squash produces 
large fruit covered with warts and of very dark green color. They are 
noted for their keeping quality and sell well in the markets, as the 
fruit is very handsome. We offer a uniform true strain of Chicago 
Warted Hubbard.

810 QUALITY. The Most Delicious Squash. This handsome 
squash has been our favorite home garden type 
for many years, and now the demand for fine quality squash of smaller 
size has made it a great seller on markets and roadside stands. See full

780 DELICIOUS. Fer Fine Flavor. This is one of 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 and very attractive pointed shape; not as large as 
Hubbard but is very heavy. This has long been a favorite home garden 
kind and one of the best of the smaller high quality squash which 
present day markets prefer.

other sections. The flesh is very thick, deep orange, firm and of very 
superior quality. The fruit is round, heavily warted, flattened at the
