WEBB SOUTHDOWN SHEEP 
FOI£ SALS. 
The celebrated flock of the late James C. Taylor, of Holm- 
del, N. J., numbering 26 Earns, 63 Ewes, and 40 Lambs, is 
now offered for sale, either as a whole flock, or in lots to 
Buit purchasers. 
The well-known reputation of Mr. Taylor, and his flock, is 
bo perfectly understood by the breeders of Southdowns in 
the United States, that it is not necessary to give any further 
description of them, excepting to say that they are his choice 
reservation, as he never sold his selected Eioes, although fre- 
quently tempted by very large offers. 
The flock Is in a fine healthy condition, and can remain 
where they are until summer, at the risk and expense of the 
purchaser, should it be so desired, as plenty of the best kind 
of food and capital arrangements for keeping them are pro- 
vided. A descriptive Catalogue is being prepared, and will 
be forwarded by mall to any one by inclosing postage 
stamps. Address WM. J. C. TAYLOR,

HITOAKD Km TURBAN. 
My epecimena of these two squashes received the two 
prizes offered for the best squash for family use, at the last 
exhibition at the rooms of the American Agriculturist. As 
this was open to competitors in all parts of the United States, 
the Hubbard and Turban can fairly be ranked as the two 
best varieties for table use, and hundreds of letters received 
this season speak of them as "the sweetest, chyest and best 
flavored squashes known." Both kinds can be kept through, 
the winter. As the original introducer of these two squashes, 
I send packages of the purest seed in the market to any ad- 
dress, at 15 cents eacli.— Ounce packages, Hubbard, 33; Tur- 
ban, 89.— Pound packets, Hubbard, $2.00; Turban, $2.50.— All 
warranted to reach the purchaser. If any person, after 
trying these, doesnotjind them tobe what I represent. Iusill 
refund his money. JAMES J. H. GltEGORY,
