This new pepper attains a larger size than the Spanish Monstrous, and is of different shape. The fruits are 6 to 8 inches long by 4 inches through, of a bright ruby-red color. They are remarkably mild and pleasant in flavor—un- equaled by any other variety. They can be sliced and eaten with pepper and vinegar, like Tomatoes, and make a very pleasant and appetizing salad. The Ruby King will prove a great acquisition, and will occupy a similar position among red peppers as Golden Dawn among the yellow sorts. The plant is bushy in growth and very ornamental, each plant producing from six to eight large, handsome fruits. Price 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts. ^ OLIVE SQUASH. Our attention was first directed to this new Squash in France, the past summer, where we were very favorably impressed with its appearance and growth. The seed was brought to France by a traveler from Hungary, where, however, it is evidently not common, as we did not see it. It has been called Olive Squash, as the shape and color of the fruit exactly resemble an olive. _ It belongs to the Cu- curbita Maxima family, with the split foot. The fruit is a little longer and the skin smoother than the Hubbard, while the quality of flesh is better. The squashes weigh 5 to 10 pounds each, skin very smooth and extremely thin. The flesh is very thick, ©f a rich golden yellow color, firm, mealy, very sweet, and of remarkably good quality. As a winter squash it is bound to occupy a front rank. We are sure all our friends who like squashes will thank us for in- troducing the Olive Squash.
