Improved American Tur- ban. (Essex Hybrid.) De- veloped by selection and cross, ing from the old American Tur. ban, being of a richer color, having a hard shell and in its remarkable keeping qualities. It is of medium size, and the skin is a rich orange red. Flesh deep, rich color, very thick, and of ex- cellent quality. The earliest of the winter varieties Pine Apple. Vigorous and hardy, coming into bearing late in the season, and then producing fruit at nearly every joint, making it one of the most productive kinds grown. Skin creamy white; flesh very thick and with a peculiar flavor, on which account it is much liked for pies; it is also used green like the summer squashes, and baked or stewed like the winter Perfect Gem. Vine coming into bearing late, but very pro- ductive. Fruit four inches in diameter, nearly round, ribbed white; flesh yellowish white and cooking, very sweet and well flavored. This is the best _ of the intermediate kinds, and p many think it fully equal to the winter sorts.
