Para, Tnrban, Hubbard, Yokohama ! 
As the original introducer of the Hnbbard Squash. I am 
Ereiiared to supply every culiivator with purk seed. Ttie 
uDbard is the dryest, sweetest and richest of all wixtek 
squashes, and will keen till April, The Turban is the dryest, 
sweetest and richest ol all fall squashes, and will keep till 
March. Manyof mycorrespondentsareextravagant in their 
praise of tliis squash— ""Why will people longer raise the 
coarse, watery summer varieties when they can get such a 
sqash as the Turban ! " The Tokohama, a new Bquash from 
Japan, has given great satisfaction this season ; it is exceed- 
ingly fine grained, very sweet, and of a peculiar marrow-like 
taste. The Para is a bush squash from South America, for 
fall and winter use ; keeping till February. It resembles in 
qualitv a vcrv fine crookneck. My seed stock came directly 
Irom Para and is puke. All these varieties yield abundantly. 
Ten tons of Hubbard and eight tons of Turban have been 
raised to the acre. — Packages of seed of each of tliese va- 
rieties, sent post-paid to aiiv address for 15 cts. Hubbard 
sent by the ft, for $'2,"2n. Turban sent by the «>. for Jo.nO.
