The Yokohama Squash. 
The subscriber oilers for sale seeds of this new Squasn, 
raised from those sent to him from Japan, by his brother 
Mr. Thomas Hogg. It Is without doubt one of the best 
squashes grown, and is a great acquisition to our list of veg- 
etables as it combines more good qualities than any other 
squash grown in this country. The surface Is strongly rib- 
bed, the skin warty, in Its early stages of growth, of" a pale 
green color, becoming of a very deep green when more ad- 
vanced, and when fully ripe, is of a deep, dull orange color. 
It Is of the Turban class, measures from four to six inches 
thick, and from six to twelve Indies across, and weighs from 
six to twelve pounds. The flesh is of a deep orange color, 
very finely flavored, sweet and dry, very line grained and 
without any fibre. It is excellent stewed, and when 
baked, it much resembles, a sweet potato in flesh and flavor, 
and is superior io any pumpkin for pies. It is a robust and 
vigorous grower, running very freely, having the peculiarity 
of rootins at the joints like a Verbena, and is a very prolific 
bearer. It conies early into bearine;. and is excellent for 
cooking, when no larger than an ordinary bush Squash, so 
that a continuous supply for a family during the whole sea- 
son can be had by growing this variety only. It keeps until 
February or March. 
The seeds are warranted pure, being grown by myself. 
They will be put up in packets containing ten seeds each, at 
the price of twenty-live cents per packet, sent to any address 
postage free. JAMES HOGG,
