Butman Squash
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.

Butman Squash
This new squash is very distinct in color from any other kind, being a bright grass-green intermixed with white. In size and productiveness, it resembles the Hubbard; it has a thick shell, and is thick meated. The color of the flesh is quite striking, being of a light salmon and lemon color combined. It is very fine grained and smooth to the palate. It is remarkably dry, sweet and delicious, being entirely free from the pumpkin-like flavor occasionally found in the Hubbard, while it does not grow so stringy on the inner portion of the flesh, as is usually the case with that fine variety late in the season. It is unquestionably a fine variety-keeps well; 2oz., 40c.; oz., 25c.; ½ oz., 15c.; pkt., 10c.
