 stock exclusively in Xew Jersey, about nine miles from our 

 Philadelphia warehouse, where we have unequalled facili- 

 ties for handling and storing. We pack them for shipment

 variety comes from Japan, and has proven a valuable addi- 

 tion to our pie and cooking pumpkins. The flesh is very 

 thick, and of a rich salmon color, nearly solid, the seed 

 cavity being very small in one end of the pumpkin, unus- 

 u;dly fine grained, dry and sweet, having much the same 

 taste and appearance as sweet potatoes, making pies as rich 

 without eggs as other varieties do with. Theyrii^en early,

DUNKARD WINTER PUMPKIN. This hybrid 

 variety originated with the religious sect of Dunkards in 

 Bucks County, Pa., where it has had a local reputation for 

 a few years past. They are oblong in shape and frequently 

 attain weights of twenty to twenty-five pounds. The outside 

 skin is a rich, deep orange color| lightly striped. The flesh 

 is very thick and of a beautiful golden-yellow color, very 

 rich and sweet in flavor. Their most wonderful property is 

 their great keeping qualities, having been kept for a period 

 of two years in perfect condition. The vines are very hardy 

 .and productive. They sell in Philadelphia markets at 

 double the prices of other varieties. Owing to the hybrid 

 origin of the variety, they as yet vary some in shape, there 

 being a tendency to sport back to the original parents. All 

 specimens, however, are equally good in quality. Pkt., lOc; 

 oz., 20c.; 14 lb.. 45c.; lb.; S1.50.

 eter. The ©utside skin is dark green when young, changing

 sweet, dry and excellent for pies. Its keeping qualities are
