Early Prolific Orange Marrow.— A compara- 

 tively new fall or winter variety. It is shaped somewhat 

 like the Boston Marrow, but it is a decided improvement 

 on it, being much earlier and more productive. These 

 characteristics will commend this variety to market 

 gardeners, while its brilliant orange red color and fine 

 keeping and cooking qualities make it popular with the 

 consumer. The rind is very hard, but thin, and the 

 flesh deep, fine grained, and of delicate quality.

form of the Hubbard is a great favorite with many mar- 

 ketmen, as it is very striking in appearance, and having

 mens, it crops heavily. The warty knobs draw general 

 attention, and it will generally sell in the market better 

 than those having smooth 

 shell. Packet, 5 cents ;
