SQUASH 
BABY BLUE—A UNH introduction. This squash is a cross between 
Blue Hubbard and Bush Buttercup, with 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. 
If you like a dry winter squash for baking, Baby Blue is it. Pkt. 15 
cts.; 14 oz. 30 cts.; 1 oz. 50 cts.; 14 lb. $1.50; 14 lb. $2.55; 1 lb. $3.95. 
Baby Blue Squash 
NEW HAMPSHIRE BUSH BUTTERCUP—A UNH introduction. 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 inter- 
nodes, therefore a shorter plant. There is considerable Bush Butter- 
cup seed on the market that is not the New Hampshire strain and has 
poor quality. Ours is Dr. Yeager’s special strain grown at West Stew- 
artstown, New Hampshire, to insure earliness and high quality. You 
will like this squash for your home or commercial garden. And be 
sure to try it for pies; it is tops. Pkt. 25 cts.; 1 oz. 60 cts.; 14 lb. $2.25; 
1 lb. $7.00. 
BUTTERCUP—Buttercup is a dry winter squash about the same size 
as Baby Blue. It is similar to Bush Buttercup but has a turban on the 
blossom end. The outside color is dark green with silvery white lines. 
Its flesh is deep yellow in color and excellent in quality. The vines 
are large and productive but later than Bush Buttercup. Pkt. 15 cts.;
