Japan is always surprising the world with something remarkable in the vegetable kingdom. Now it is & Pumpkin with seeds covered with what look like Japanese letters, and a very small seed cavity, all the balance being solid meat throng}lout. It is very productive, the pumpkins ripen early, weigh from 15 to 20 lbs. each, and are good keepers. The flesh is a rich salmon color, unusually fine-grained, and when cooked is almost as dry and mealy as a sweet potato.

Containing but little water they can easily be cut and dried, like dried apples, and used for pies and sauce during winter. Its flavor is more re- fined than that of any other Pumpkin, in fact it is considered su- perior in quality to the old Hubbard Squash; and one enthusiastic grower of it says: "We will venture to say that pies made from the Japanese Pumpkin, without eggs, are fully as good as pies made fiom any other variety when eggs are ; Per pkt. 5c.

To meet this objection we have prepai-ed a mixture of seed of all the hest Summer Squashes, SO that a packet of seed will furnish at least 8 or 10 varieties, and will prove the best investment that can be thought of for the summer and fall table. Most of them are Bush varieties and require but little space in the garden. Per pkt. 5c YonQatoes. Station Tree—Very dis- tinct; stout, erect grower. Very
