THE NEW SQUASH! 
The Turban orTnrk's Head Squash. 
Since I introduced the Habbard as the best of all Win- 
ter squashes, I have been seeking for the public s first class 
squash for Pall use. After spending six years In carefully 
testing many new varieties, I am satisfied that the Turban is 
decidedlv the best of all squashes for Fall use. It is very dry, 
very flue grained and rich flavored, (the Hubbard has little 
or no flavor in the Fall.) and is the thickest raeated and 
heaviest in proportion to its size of all squashes. It grows 
to a good size lor family use. yields well, and is most excel- 
< ituer for the table or for pies. In competition with all 
other varieties ray Turban received the prize for-qualitynext 
to the Hubbard at the late great exhibition at the rooms of

Gents : I have used tltc Lodl Pondrette on corn and pota- 
toes. I tried it by the aide Of burn-yard manure, ami I think 
the Foudkkttk PnonrcKn ONK-Tiiiuo moke CO EH. 1 con-

Dear Sirs: In answer to your request respecting my opin- 
ion ol the Lodl Pondrette, I nsed It last spring on corn and 
nil kinds of garden vegetables, and I consider It the cheap- 
est and best manure for the hill I ever used, although I hare 
used Peruvian Guano, Phosphate, and many other fertilizers. 
I would give it the preference to any other. 
Yours respectfully EDWARD SWEETING.

Dear Sirs: As to the result in my application of the Loni 
POT/DERTTE, I applied it to a portion of mv corn In the hill, 
according to dim-dons. It caused a verv ranid growth, and 
promises n good yield for a vcrv bad season. I think at ha-t 
one-third more than 1 ever raised on the same Odd before. 
My opinion is, that it is preferable to Peruvian Guano for 
Corx. Yours &c. JOS. C. THOMAS.

Respected Friend : Thine of the 26th ult. has been received 
asking what onr experience was in the use of the Bqnb-Ta- 
FF.tr. We put the thirty barrels on about nine acres of 
■wheat, harrowing it in. before drilling in the wheat, and are 
so far well satisfied with it. as it appears to be equally as 
good as any other part of the field, (about If) acres), which 
was well manured with good barn yard and stable mannre 
Altogether likely to be a good crop, being now nearly 
ripe. Respectfully thy friend, 
JOSEPII BAILEY.

I put four barrels of Poudrette upon an acre of ground 
this year, from which I raised a crop of Tobacco amounting 
when sold tea little over $400. I might also state that 1 
sowed it in a bed in one corner of the lot, from which I raised 
the earliest plants, and sold enough, beside what I used, to 
amount to $100. Thus you see, I realized over Five hundred 
dollars from an acre of ground. There was no other ma- 
nnre of any consequence upon the lot. The Pondrette cost 
me, delivered, about two dollars per barrel or eight dollars 
in total Yours very respectfully, 
CHARLES BARTRAM. 
New Milford, Litchfield Co., Conn., Dec. 15, 1863. 
Agent Lodi Manufacturing Co. 
Dear Sir: I was induced by your Agent at Northville, Mr 
F. S. Bartram, to try the Pondrette upon Tobacco this last 
year, which resulted most satisfactorily to me. I also tried 
the Super Phosphate of Lime and a mixture of hen Manure 
and Plaster, side by side with the Poudrette. The Tobacro 
where I put the Poudrette was much earlier, larger and bet- 
ter color, and I shall use the Pondrette in future, in prefer- 
ence to all other Fertilzers. Yours truly, 
MARSHALL PLATT.

also tried it upon Tobacco with good success.
