As to their quality one enthusiastic grower says : "No other pump- kin or squash that has ever been introduced can vie ^vith the Japaxese for their excellent qualities and exceedingly fine fla vor when cooked.

Containing but little water, they can easily be cut and dried, like dried apples, and make excellent pies or sauce for Winter use. We will venture to say, that pies made from the Japanese Pumpkin, without eggs, are fully as good as pies made from any other variety when eggs are used.''
