History Notes

One of the parents of Red Warty Thing Squash was Red Hubbard squash.

The Baker Creek seed catalogue says, “This old variety was introduced by James J.H. Gregory of Marblehead, MA in 1897 as Victor. It was recently reintroduced as Red Warty Thing.” ^[1]”Victor or Red Warty Thing Squash”. Accessed September 2019 at https://www.rareseeds.com/victor-or-red-warty-thing-squash/
