The Vokola&ima Squash. 
The subscriber offers for sale"seeds of this new Squash, 
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. T'lie 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 inches across, and weighs from 
six to twelve pounds. The flesh is of a deep orange color, 
very finely flavored, sweet and dry. very fine grained and 
without anv fibre. It is excellent stewed, and when 
baked it much resembles a sweet potato in flesh and flavor, 
and is superior to any pumpkin for pies. It is a robust and 
vigorous grower, running very freely, having the peculiarity 
of rooting at the joints like a Verbena, and is a very prolific 
bearer, it conies early into bearing, 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. 
Tlie seeds are warranted pure, being grown by myself. 
They will be put up in packets containing ten seeds each, at 
the price of twenty-five cents per packet, sent to anv address 
postage free. JAMES HOGG,
