dental variety, the ears being of unusual length—as long as the 
best Dutton—t he kernels being very large and deen—eight rows 
on the cob. It ripens perfectly in one hundred ilavs, and pro¬ 
duces very nearly double as much as the ordinary King Philip.

Pure Hubbard Squash Seed. 
By the subscriber, who first introduced this excellent variety 
to public notice, and gave it its name. The following testimo¬ 
nials express hut llie general sentiment of all who hove tested 
the new squash, which has just received the award of the Mas¬ 
sachusetts Horticultural Society as the best squash exhibited 
during the season. 
“ The richest squash I have ever tasted.” (Hon. Marshall P. 
Wilder.)_“ Nothing could he better. It is a very important 
acquisition to the vegetable garden.”—(Hon, Edward Everett.) 
... ‘ They excel in flavor and fineness of the flesh any squash 
we have ever tasted.”—(New-England Farmer.)_“They are 
mealy as mashed potatoes, s \ ecter than sweet potatoes or boiled 
chestnuts, a good deal like the latter, but better than either.”— 
(The Homestead )

SUE. OPE AN POTATOES. 
The subscriber received last Spring, from the Seedsman to the 
Imperial Agricultural Society of France, a collection of 
ONE HUNDRED VARIETIES OF POTATOES, 
selected as the best from upwards of 
FIVE HUNDRED VARIETIES, 
collected from all parts of the world, and cultivated by that So¬ 
ciety for the purpose of lesting their quality. This collection has 
been carefully cultivated during the past season, and specimens 
exhibited at some of our State anil (’minty Fairs, which have 
attracted much attention. From these, 
FIFTY VARIETIES 
have been selected, which, from their productiveness, fine fla¬ 
vor, and freedom from disease Dio signs of rot appearing in any 
of them), can be recommended as every way desirable for gene¬ 
ral cultivation. A large proportion or the remaining varieties 
promise well, hut he has thought it best to give them another' 
year’s trial before sending out. 
For the purpose of introducing as extensively as possible, he 
has put them up in collections as follows, which can be sent by- 
express to any part of the country.
