Our illustration, made from a photo- graph, clearly shows the shape. The squashes grow to weigh from eight to twelve pounds each; the skin is green- grav in color, thin and smooth, but very hard and flinty. THE PIKE'S PEAK is a very productive variety, of vigorous growth and matures at the same time as the Hubbard, although the quality is con- siderably improved after being housed a few weeks. As a keeper it is unexcelled, remaining in a good, dry cellar perfectly sound until the last of April, constantly improving in flavor and quality—the hardness and flintiness of the .shell render- ing it one of the vei~y bexf keepers and ship- pers in existence. Heretofore theHubbard has been the standard of quality for all Winter Squashes, but this in far svperior in quality to that famous variety. The flesh is solid, thick and of a rich golden- orange color ; it is entirely free from any strong "squashy" taste; dry, fine-grained, remarkably rich and delicate flavor.
