PERFEC!T GEM SQUASH. Tliis variety, un- like anj'tliing be- fore offered, is ex- celleiit both as a --i^ summer and a win- ^ ter scjuash. It lias all the properties of tlie best of botli ^ what peculiar. Af- ter setting tlie ' i^v squashes near the root, like the bush varieties, it com- f'^ mences to run, and the vines often attain a length of twenty feet, and are very thick and strong, branching in a similar manner to the Ornamental Gourd, and often bearing quite as abundantly. The squa-shes are from four to six inches in diameter, flattened, of a creamy white color, slightly ribbed, and have a thin, smooth skin. The flesh is fine-grained, and when cooked is dry, very sweet, and lias a delicious flavor, entirelj^ free from that strong taste common to all of the winter squashes. It is remarkable for its keeping qualities. In a dry, cool room, free from frost, they may be kept until spring. In short, it is justly entitled to the name given it, being equal to the best bush or marrow squash for summer use, and better than any other for winter. A good keeper, very productive, a free grower, and worthy a place in every kitchen- garden. Price, 25 cents per packet; five packets, $ NEW IMPROVED DWARF OKRA.
