BLUE HUBBARD Squash, botanically classified as Cucurbita maxima, is also known as green pumpkin and buttercup squash. The Blue Hubbard squash can grow from a weight of 15 pounds up to a staggering 50 pounds. The Hubbard squash's shell is one of the most difficult to process, creating a demand for precut portions in retail stores. The Hubbard squash is thought to be named for Elizabeth Hubbard, who shared the squashes seeds with her friend, James J. H. Gregory, who introduced it to market. The original variety of Hubbard squash is native to South America. The Hubbard squash is thought to have been grown in New England since the 1830's and sold commercially since 1909. 30+ seeds per order.
