WINTER SQUASH 
774 Butternut 
The Best Strain Obtainable 
Now the most widely-grown small squash in 
the East, Butternut’s popularity is rapidly 
spreading to other sections. Our strain, grown 
and selected on our farms, has top rating with 
the most important growers, and we are 
proud of its uniformity, yield and depend- 
ability. 
The fruit are of moderately long shape with 
straight thick necks that are solid meat. In 
size (3 to 4 lbs.) it is ideal for modern markets 
and the quality is excellent. Butternut ma- 
tures early and bears big crops for summer 
and fall sale. Resistant to squash vine borers 
and highly prolific on nearly all soils, this is 
the squash to grow. See prices below. 
BLUE HUBBARD 
770 Blue Hubbard 
Harris’ Famous Selected Strain 
Our special large, rugged strain produces im- 
mense yields of big, well-shaped squash that 
bring the highest prices. The thick-fleshed 
fruit is uniformly heavy and stores well. 
Our strain is the result of years of careful 
breeding here on our own farms, and is gen- 
erally recognized as the finest, purest stock 
grown. It cannot be obtained elsewhere. 
Blue Hubbard is still in good demand on 
most markets in the East, and the fine quality, 
enormous yields and excellent keeping quali- 
ty of our famous strain make it one of the 
most profitable squash to grow. See prices 
below.

810 Quality —Fine-Flavored Market Type 
One of the best medium-sized squash for 
modern markets, Harris’ Quality has thicker 
meat, richer flavor and heavier yields than 
the well-known Delicious, which it resembles. 
Excellent for storage and freezing, it has a 
fine market appearance with a thin, hard, 
dark green shell and an attractive heart 
shape. The flesh is extra thick, dry, sweet and 
delicious. Highly recommended where quality 
is appreciated. See prices below. 
773 Buttercup 
Small Fruit, Finest Quality 
Its distinctive appearance, small size and top 
quality are bringing Buttercup a steadily in- 
creasing sale on roadside stands and local 
markets. The squash are dark green, turban 
shaped and about 8 in. in diameter with a 
prominent grey “button.” The flesh is thick 
and extra dry and sweet. Many markets now 
require small “family-sized” squash, and 
Buttercup has a reputation for quality that 
makes it a ready seller. See prices below.
