Hubbard, Improved Green 105 days. The standard 
winter sort. Our stock of 
this is smaller and much more uniform than is usual, and less 
inclined to have slate color stripes at the blossom end. We believe 
the small sized Hubbards more desirable for selling from retail 
stores because too large squash are usually split and sold in 
pieces. Weight about 9 pounds; pointed at both ends, moderately 
warted. Rind dark bronze green, tough and hard. Flesh very 
thick, orange-yellow, sweet and dry.

than any of the other Hubbards.
