HUBBARD AND TURBAN. 
Mv specimens of these two squashes received the two 
prizes offered for tlie best squash for family use, at the last 
exhibition at the rooms of the American Agriculturist. As 
this was open to competitors in all partsof the UnitedStates, 
the Hnhbard and Turban can fairly be ranked as the two 
best varieties for table use, and hundreds of letters received 
this season speak of tliem as “tlie sweetest, dryest and be^ 
flavored squashes known.” Both kinds can be kept through 
the winter. As the original Introducer of these two squashes, 
I send packages of tlie purest seed in the market to any ad¬ 
dress. at 15 cents each.—Ounce packages, Hnhbard, 33; Tur¬ 
ban, 39.—Pound packets, Hubbard, $2.00; 'i’urhan, $2.50.—All
