Cocozelle— (See cut.)— A fine new early 

 varietv. A re.narkable feature of this 

 variety is that the little green Squashes, 

 when still verv small, can either be boiled 

 whole or sliced and fried like Egg Plant, 

 and to our taste are nearly, if uot quite, 

 equal in flavor, while, of course, they are 

 more easily raised. It will prove a valu-

both ends. Single sp ecimens have grown to the enormous weight 

 of 300 pounds. Outer color a rich orange yellow ; flesh very" thick

 Improved Hubbard— (See cut.)— The 

 best of all winter varieties, of large size, 

 often weighing from nine to ten pounds; 

 decidedly" the best squash introduced. 

 Flesh bright orange, very dry, sweet and 

 rich flavored. I recommend this variety 

 as supeiior for winter use. It keeps per- 

 fectly throughout the winter, much long- 

 , er than the Marrows, and has long been 

 one of the most popular vai'ieties in culti- 

 vation. Choice stock seed, pkt. 4c, oz. 7c,
