fe WINTER SQUASH -....-.-.--- 
Blue Hubbard 
UCONN 
Gold Medal 1950 
Developed by Dr. L. C. Curtis, this variety should appeal 
where space is limited, as the plant is a bush type and 
occupies a space only about 3 feet square. The fruits are 
Table Queen or Acorn type with green skin, yellow flesh, 
but more rounded ridges than Table Queen. 9 plants should 
yield a bushel of mature fruits. 
BLUE HUBBARD 110-120 days 
This is the true strain of the old favorite variety and is 
distinguished from the ordinary by its uniformity of shape, 
which includes prominent rounded “necks’’ at both ends, 
giving the fruit an elongated shape. 
WARTED HUBBARD 110-120 days 
This variety is typical Hubbard shape, with very dark 
green and heavily warted skin. This is one of the main 
storage types and our stock is unsurpassed. 
IMPROVED HUBBARD (Green) 104-115 days 
The old standard Hubbard squash which has never lost 
its popularity. The flesh is deep yellow, skin dark ivy green 
frequently striped at tip, rough and slightly warted. 
GOLDEN HUBBARD (Red Hubbard) 98-103 days 
This variety is similar to Improved in shape, but the fruits 
are smaller than Improved Hubbard, weighing from 8 to 10 
pounds. The hard skin is covered with large shallow warts, 
and is reddish orange colored with grayish stripes at the 
blossom end. 
WARREN TURBAN 115-125 days 
A selected stock of the popular New England variety, 
turban shaped, flattened at top and bottom with a distinct 
button at the blossom end. The color is bright reddish orange 
with scattered grayish striping at blossom end. The shell is 
very hard, thick and heavily warted. 
TABLE QUEEN (Acorn) 90-100 days 
This variety is a small, acorn-shaped squash, smooth and 
very dark greenish black in color with deep ridges. The flesh 
is thin, pale orange to deep yellow, and when baked (usually 
whole) and eaten from the shell is delicious. An excellent 
variety for home and market gardens or roadside stands. 
MAMMOTH TABLE QUEEN 90-100 days 
A larger version of Table Queen, also called Royal 
Acorn, a couple of inches longer and an inch thicker than its 
smaller cousin. Same dull, dark green shell, turning dull 
orange in storage, same excellent quality. 
BOSTON MARROW 97-100 days 
A popular shipping variety shaped like the Hubbard 
squashes, but with dull orange skin. The flesh is thick, orange 
tinged golden, fine grained and sweet. 
Butternut 
BUTTERNUT 95-102 days 
Maturing an abundant crop in late summer and early fall, 
this very meaty squash has quickly found favor. Fruits are 
10-12 inches in length and 4—5 inches at largest diameter. 
The photograph clearly shows that it is nearly 100% meat. 
The flesh is dry and yellow, and it keeps well, making excel- 
lent pies. Also fine baked or boiled. 
BUTTERCUP 100 days 
Productive turban-shaped winter squash, 6—8 inches in 
diameter, dark green skin faintly striped with gray. Deep 
yellow, fine-grained, dry flesh of best quality. Keeps well. 
GOLDEN DELICIOUS 100-105 days 
The squash is top-shaped in form, medium-sized, with 
orange colored flesh. In appearance, it is one of the most 
attractive squashes we have ever seen and a wonderful 
keeper. We recommend it very highly for market or home 
garden. 
DELICIOUS (Green) 100-105 days 
Another standard variety similar to Golden Delicious, but 
it has a dark green skin with thin, light green stripe at the 
blossom end. The flesh is the same as Golden Delicious, but 
the color is not as intense an orange.
