outside, and the seeds are large and white. The quality is not equal to that of 

 the "Hubbard,'" but the variety is productive. 



No. 3. "Delicious." The "Delicious," as before noted, has a smaller fruit 

 than the "Hubbard," but resembles that standard sort in the solid olive or bronze 

 green color. It has no neck at the stem end and in longitudinal view is 

 long, egg-shaped, tapering nearly straight to the blossom end. The flesh is thick 

 and of an olive orange color. During the present season this variety did better 

 than any other, upon land that was too poor and dry for the "Hubbard" and 

 "Boston Marrow." It is, in quality, high, and this, with the hardiness and 

 productiveness, make this variety very desirable. 



No. 4. "Golden Hubbard." This is a small-fruited, orange "Hubbard," with 

 the squash long and somewhat grooved. The flesh is thick and quality good, but 

 with us it has not been at all productive. 



No. 7. "Warren." This is a "turban" of the "Essex Hybrid" type — in fact, is 

 a recent offspring of it, quite productive of large, cheese-shaped, warty, orange- 

 colored fruits. The turban feature at the blossom end of the fruit is a source 

 of weakness, as here the flesh is folded peculiarly, which favors decay. The flesh, 

 quite thick in the stem half of the fruit, is deep orange at the center and pale 

 orange toward the exterior. 



No. 14. "Giant Neapolitan." This is a strong vine, producing fruits of great 

 size, some three feet long and fi-equeutly bent. It is of the slender-stemmed 

 group and its quality is not desirable. 



No. 15. "Japanese" (No. 12843, U. S. A. D.) is apparently the same as our 

 No. 31, figured in Plate XIII. 



No. 16. "Mammoth Chili." This has a very large fruit, quite variable in 

 size, but in general oval, without ribs and decidedly netted, like muskmelcns. 



No. 17. "Japanese" (No. 12845, U. S. D. A.) Practically the same as No. 

 30. The specimen shown in Plate XIII. is quite warty. 



No. 18. "Winter Crookneck." This is a slender or hard-stemmed squash, pro- 

 ducing large, striped fruits, with long, much-curved, solid necks. The flesh is 

 thin, of a bright, light orange, with the quality inferior. 



No. 19. "Cocoanut." A small squash, its size and shape being suggested in 

 the name. It exhibits many variations, but in general the shape is oval with a 

 sunken stem end and a blunt, pointed blossom end and somewhat corrugated, 

 and of a cream color, striped in the grooves with yellow. At the stem end there 

 is a disc with sharply-defined border, in which the yellow stripes are replaced by 

 green. This last variation may be elsewhere upon the fruit in blotches upon 

 one side. The flesh is a light yellow, with a small seed cavity and bearing small, 

 oval, straw-colored seeds. The stem is long and very slender. 



No. 20. "Victor." Produces a flat, orange-colored fruit, of small size. 



No. 21. "Bay State." Is a somewhat cheese-shaped fruit, with a bluish-green 

 color. 



No. 22. Duplicate. 



No. 23. "Golden Bronze." This is a squash of the "Hubbard" type, but 

 broader, with green veining and shallow ribs. 



No. 24. "Marblehead" is closely related to the "Hubbard," with a bluish color 

 and oval shape. The quality is superior. 



No. 25. "Dunlap's Marrow." Yields a fruit of the "Marrow" type, oval and 

 often strongly ribbed and a beautiful solid orange color, with the surface finely 

 netted, somewhat in stripes. The flesh is fairly thick, of rich orange, same as 

 the exterior and with seeds long and white. 



No. 26. "Warted Hubbard" is the ordinary "Hubbard," with a rough exterior. 

 There was great variation in this wartiness among all the "Hubbards."
