(Cucurbita maxima)
Tough-skinned oblong bluish-green fruits weigh ten to fifteen pounds, and the golden yellow flesh is dry with a great flavor. This winter squash stores well, for up to six months, and can be used in a variety of recipes. The Hubbard squash probably originated in South America and first arrived in America in the 1700's aboard sailing ships from the West Indies. 110 days
