It is now above twenty years since the variety was first brought to our notice by our old washerwoman named Hubbard; and to distinguish it from a blue variety that we were then raising, we called it '- Ma'am Hubbard's Squash"; and when the seed became a commercial article, and it became necessary to give it a fixed name, I called it the Hubbard squash.
