Isbell's Improved Hubbard Squash
The acknowledged standard for quality. Isbell's Improved Hubbard Squash represents the most perfect type of this justly famous variety, and in addition to our strain is so early that we grow our seed in Michigan. This is an extremely valuable characteristic because this otherwise universally popular sort sometimes fails to ripen, even as far South as Central Ohio, unless it is planted very early. The fruits large, moderately warted; shell dark bronze-green. The flesh is always of a rich golden-yellow color, very fine grained, solid and sweet. The shell is very hard and protects the flesh from bruising, etc., so that no sort can surpass the Hubbard as a winter keeper. In addition to its earliness our strain is particularly selected for its rich color of flesh. Ready for table use in 95 to 100 days. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; ¼ lb., 40c; lb., $1.15, prepaid.
