ESSEX HYBRID, OR HARD-SHELL TURBAN. This new and very excellent squash is a cross between the Hubbard and the Anierican Turban, having the color, shape and superior qualities of the Turban, with the dry- ness and hard shell of the Hubbard. It is not only one of the richest flavored, finest grained and sweetest of all the Squash family, but one of the very best keepers we have, specimens keeping until the middle of June as sound as when gathered in the fall. The flesh is very thick, rich colored and solid, having an extremely small cavity for the seeds. It is also one of the most productive squashes ever introduced, often growing in pairs on the same vine, within one foot of each other, and each squash weighing from eight to twelve pounds. It is very early, of quick growth. Squashes have been raised from seed planted the 3d of July, in just two from the day of plant- ing, to weigh twelve pounds.
