Butman
The new squash is the result of a scientific cross between the Yokohama and Hubbard. The flesh is between a salmon and a lemon color. It has all the qualities of a first class squash, being very dry, fine-grained, and of excellent flavor. While having all the good points of the Hubbard, it has somewhat the flavor of the summer squashes. Medium in size, light stone, striped and blotched with distinct cream color.

Hubbard
This is a superior variety, and the best winter squash known; flesh bright orange yellow, fine grained, very dry, sweet, and rich-flavored; keeps perfectly good throughout the winter; boils or bakes exceedingly dry, and is esteemed by many to be as good baked as the sweet potato. This variety we recommend as being superior to any other variety of winter squash in cultivation.

Improved American Turban
An excellent variety for use in the autumn and early winter. Flesh orange yellow, thick, fine-grained, sugary and well flavored. Usually of a greenish color, striped with white, though often yellowish white, without stripes. In form, resembling a turban, or Turk's cap. This variety is not to be confounded with the French Turban variety, which is more showy, but inferior in quality
