Para, Turban, Hubbard, Yokohaijia! 
As tlie original introducer of the Hubbard Squash, I am 
preiiared to sunply every cultivator with pure seed. Tlie 
Hubbard is tlie dryest, sweetest and rieliest of all winteu 
squashes, and will keep till April. The Turban is the dryest, 
sweetest and richest ot all pall squashes, and 5vill keep till 
March. Many of my correspondents are extravagant in their 
jiraise of tills squash—“Why will people longer raise the 
coarse, watery summer varieties when they can get sucli a 
sqash as the Turban ! ” Tlie Yokoliaiiia, a new squash from 
Japan, has given great satisfaction tins season ; it is exceed¬ 
ingly fine grained, very sweet, and of a peculiar marrow-like 
taste. Tlie Para is a biisli squash from South America, for 
fall and winter use; keeping till February. It resembles in 
(jiiality a very fine crookneck. My seed stock came directly 
from Para and is puke. All these varieties yield abundantly. 
Ten tons of Hubbard and eiglit tons of Turban liave been 
raised to tlie acre.—Packages of seed of each of these va¬ 
rieties, sent post-paid to aiiv address for 15 cts. Iliihbard 
sent by the It. for $2.25. Turban sent l)y the It. for $3.50.
