Very early, enorm- ously productive, of medium size and the best possible quality, we fully that this new variety is ?d to became a standard )gst squashes, both for home larlcet purposes. distinctive feature of this ash is that the ripe squashes iry in color, some of them K*ing pale yellow with still paler yellow stripes in hollows, while others are green, mottled, and faintly striped with a lighter green. In this respect it is different from all other varieties, and after years of careful trial we have found that this squash follows its type abso- lutely true, and we can offer this squash as a ict new vegetable. The flesh is deep orange yellow, cavity very small and seeds few; the special peculiarity, however, is that, while uncooked it appears to have a shell like any squash, when cooked there is practically none, the shell or inedible part being only about as thick as a sheet of writing paper. It is the best squash we ever tasted—sweet and very dry—and for squash pies it must be tried to be appreciated. We know a trial will convince all of its great value. It matures early and can be used as a summer squash. It is the best winter variety we know of, being a very late keeper; we have repeatedly had squashes in our cellar in perfect condition in April and May. It is the only squash we ever saw that every specimen is of superior quality without regard to size or whether it is ripe or green. This is a very desirable feature, as many squashes (the Hubbard epecially) must be thoroughly ripe before frost, or the crop will be lost. It is not so with the Faxon Squash; every specimen can be gathered and used.

It is probably a sport from Co- coanut by crossing with some other small variety,
