THE NEW SQUASH! 
Xlte Turban or Turk's Bffead $<iana*la. 
Since I introduced the Hubbard as the best of all "Win- 
ter squashes, I have been seeking for the public a first class 
squash for Fall use. After spending six years in carefully 
testing many new varieties, I am satisfied that the Turban Is 
decidcdlv the best of all squashes for Fall use. It is very dry, 
verv One* grained and rich flavored, (the Hubbard has linle 
or no flavor in the Fall,) and is the thickest meated and 
heaviest in proportion to its si/.e of all squashes. I r. grows 
to a good size for family use, yields well, and is most excel- 
lent either for the table or for pies. In competition with all 
other varieties my Turban received the prize for quality next 
to the Hubbard at the late great exhibition at the rooms of 
the American Agriculturist. — Recommendations from Seeds- 
men, Editors of Agricultural papers, Provision Dealers and 
Farmers, with a flne engraving of the squash will be found 
in my Circular, which I shall forward gratis, to all my form- 
er customers: hence they need not write me for it. To all 
others it will be sent gratis on application. 
Price per package of 50 seed— 25 cts. ; five packages for SI.

Goodrich's Seedling Potatoes. 
I published in January a notice that I would not sell my 
Seedling Potatoes— such as the Cnzco, Garnet Chili, Pink-eye 
Rusty-Coat, and others, next spring. 1 also offered to send 
my Sale-bill, describing these sorts, to such persons as would 
send for It. I likewise hinted that probably I might sell a 
New Early Seedling in the spring. Now I wish to give no- 
tice that I can send those Sale-bills no longer, that I shall 
not sell that new Seedling. If the farmers will leave me 
entirely at rest, I may possibly recover health so that they 
may hear from me next year.
