Pure Hubbard Squash Seed. 
By the subscriber, who first introduced this excellent variety 
to public notice, and gave it its name. The foil wing testimo¬ 
nials express but the general sentiment of all who have 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 be 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 a eeter than sweet potatoes or boiled 
chestnuts, a good deal like the latter, out better than either.”— 
(The Homestead )

” TO BEE-KEEPGKS-AG1IY 
In reply to P. J Mahan’s slanderous advertisement in the last 
number of the Agriculturist. I will here only say, Thar Rev. 
L. L. Langstroth is not 1 he original inventor, and hence not the 
rightful owner of the “ Movable Comb Frame,” as can and will 
be proven at the time needed. 2d I have never said the “ Mova¬ 
ble Frames would not do for our ignorant farmers ” The word 
ignorant i have never used. The statement I pronounce false. 
3d I did not,* apply for a patent on Mr. L’s Movable Frames 
with a slot at the ends, &c„, &c My “Sectional Frames ”na- 
tented Nov. 9th. 1858, is a very different article in construction 
operation, and results, and I defy P. J. M., or any other person’ 
to prove one like it, has ever been used or known, until devised by 
me_ 4th. I am authorized bv Solon Robinson Esq., of the A 7 . Y. 
Tribune, to stale publicly, “that, seeing an advervisement in the 
Ohio Farmer, puffing “ Mr. L.’s Movable Frames,” he wrote an 
article for that paper, stating that the public, were not obliged to 
pay for the privilege of using the ** Movable Frames,” as it was 
an old device, and had been described by him m<>re than twenty 
years since, in the N. Y. tribune, and a certain Agricultural pa¬ 
per, as the documents would show ; that he received a private 
ft -0 ™ H ie editor, declining to publish thearticle, ns a friend 
of his had invested some $5,060 in the patent, and it would pre¬ 
vent. his selling rights. 5th, P J. JIT refers von to Mr. Quinbv 
to prove the g- od qualities of Mr. L.’s Frames. I would also 
f ake the liber! v to refer von to an article written by Mr. Q and 
published in the Rural New-Yorker, of December. 1 856 Mr Q 
says, " I have used a large number of these hives (the Movable 
Frames.) the past season, and two-thirds of the swarms, madethe 
comhs, ill every possible direction, without regard to the bars 
making them, so far as Movabl Frames are concerned no better 
than the o- mmon hive.” 
N . B I have an arramrement bv means of which the bees con¬ 
struct tliecnmbstslraight ou the frames. 
For particulars, in reference tothe merits of the hives, prices 
&c , See ,.send a 1 cent stamp and receive a circular. ’
