SQUASH 
BABY BLUE—A UNH introduction. This squash is a cross between 
Blue Hubbard and Bush Buttercup. It has the color of the Blue Hub- 
bard and the quality of the Buttercup squash. It has a thick, deep 
yellow, dry flesh and high sugar content. In my opinion it has the high- 
est quality of all winter squash. The plant is small, being semi bush. 
The squash weigh from 3 to 5 lbs. and are very solid. The size of this 
squash makes it ideal for the roadside stand or the home gardener. 
We run cooking tests on the best of our squash each year to get only 
the highest quality squashes of a desired type for stock seed. In this 
way we keep the best characteristics of the squash and improve on 
others. If you like a dry winter squash for baking, Baby Blue is it.

BUSH BUTTERCUP—An introduction of the Horticulture Dept., 
UNH. An improved Buttercup squash earlier in maturity, and higher 
yielding. It sets its first fruit close to the stem of the plant. It has 
shorter internodes, therefore a shorter plant. Pkt. 20 cts.; 1% oz. 35
