Product information for Everwilde Farms - 1 oz Anna Swartz Hubbard Winter Squash Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet
Known for its hard shell and for being excellent keeper this squash has thick flesh that tastes somewhat like yams or sweet potatoes. It is a family heirloom squash from the 1950s. It usually takes about 95 days to grow the 8-pound squashes. The story is told that Elizabeth Hubbard a washerwoman for the Gregory family in Marblehead Massachusetts gave her employer the seed for an heirloom squash. J. H. Gregory immediately named the squash Hubbard saying that Mrs. Hubbard was a good humble soul and it pleases me to think that the name of such a one had become without any intent of hers famous. The Anna Swartz Hubbard was a family heirloom of Anna Swartz and introduced by the Seed Savers Exchange in 1999.
