THE NEW SQUASH ! 
The Turban or Turk’s Head Squash. 
Since I introduced the Hubbard as the best of all Win¬ 
ter squashes, I have been seeking tor the public a first class 
snnasfi for Fall use. After spending six years m carefully 
Sing nmny new varieties, I am satisfied that the Turban is 
decidedly the best of all squashes for Fall use. It is very dry, 
very fine grained and rich flavored, (the Hubbard has little 
or no flavor in the Fall,) and is the thickest meated and 
heaviest in proportion to its size of all squashes. It 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 lor 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 fine 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.

We call attention to the following experiences of prac¬ 
tical farmers, who have used Poudrette for years : 
Melrose, near Hickory, Harford Co., Md. 
October 13, 1S63. 
Agents Lodi Manufacturing Co. 
Gents : I have used the Lodi Poudrette on corn and pota¬ 
toes. I tried it by the side of barn-yard manure, and I think 
the Poudrette Produced one-third more corn. I con¬ 
sider it a very cheap fertilizer. 
JAMES BILLINGS & CO. 
Magnolia, Harford Co., Md., October 31,1863. 
Agents Lodi Manufacturing Co. 
Dear Sirs: In answer to your request respecting my opin¬ 
ion of the Lodi Poudrette, I nsed it last spring on corn and 
all kinds of garden vegetables, and I consider it the cheap¬ 
est and best manure for the hill I ever used, although I have 
nsed Peruvian Guano, Phosphate, and many other fertilizers. 
I would give it the preference to any other. 
Yours respectfully EDWARD SWEETING.

Agents Lodi Manufacturing Co., Baltimore, Md.: 
Dear Sirs: As to the result in my application of the Lodt 
Poudrette, I applied it to a portion of my corn in the hill, 
according to directions. It caused a very rapid growth, and 
promises a good yield for a very bad season, 1 think at least 
one-third more than 1 ever raised on the same field before. 
My opinion is, that it is preferable to Peruvian Guano for 
Coen. Yours &c. JOS. C. THOMAS.

Respected Friend: Thine of the 26tli ult. lias been received 
askiug what our experience was in the use of the Bone-Ta- 
Feu. We put the thirty barrels ou about nine acres of 
wheat, harrowing it in, before drilling in tlie wheat, and are 
so far well satisfied witli it, as it appears to be equally as' 
good as any other part of the field, (about 40 acres), whicli 
was well manured with good barn-yard and stable manure. 
Altogether likely to he a good crop, being now nearly 
ripe. Respectfully thy friend, 
JOSEPH BAILEY. 
Northvile, Conn,, Litchfield Co., Dec., 1863. 
Agent Lodi Manufacturing Co. 
I put four barrels of Poudrette upon an acre of ground 
this year, from which I raised a crop of Tobacco amounting 
when sold to a 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 norther ma¬ 
nure of any consequence upon the lot. The Poudrette cost 
me, delivered, about two dollars per barrel or eight dollars 
in total Yours very respectfully, 
CHARLES BARTRAM.

Agent Lodi Manufacturing Co. 
Dear Sir: I was induced by your Agent at Northville, Mr. 
F. S. Bartram, to try the Poudrette upon Tobacco thi3 last 
year, which resulted most satisfactorily to me. I also tried 
the Super Phosphate of Lime and a mixture of lieu Manure 
and Plaster, side by side with the Poudrette. The Tobacco 
where I put the Poudrette was much earlier, larger and bet¬ 
ter color, and I shall use the Poudrette in future, in prefer¬ 
ence to all other Fertilzers. Yours truly, 
MARSHALL PLATT. 
Northville, Litchfield Co., Conn.

I used the Poudrette upon Sorghum this year, and am so 
well satisfied with its results, that I shall use it in future. 1 
also tried it upon Tohacco'with good success. 
Yours truly, EARLE BUCKINGHAM. 
Extract of a letter from Messrs. Brush Brothers of Fresh 
Pond, N. Y„ dated July, 1S63. 
“ It has been very dry with us so fan and oats are very 
short; but where we used the Bone-Ta Feu, they have grown 
faster than they have along side where there was none put. 
We could also see a big difference in the looks of the pota¬ 
to vines, as they -were not only larger, bnt looked black 
and rank. We think it a good manure."
