POTATOES. 



Acme, from G. W. Mace, Greenville, O., was true to type and made a rank vigorous 

 growth. The tubers matured early and are of good shape and quality. They are well 

 bunched in the hill and can be planted closely in the row. 



Daughter of Rose, from Salzer, is a seedling of the old Early Rose, and resembles it 

 very closely. Not as quick to mature as some other early sorts, but the quality is good. 



Eureka, from W. A. Burpee, Phila., was of strong growth and seemed to be resistant 

 in a marked degree to the attack of the potato beetle. The tubers are irregular, oval, 

 slightly flattened; skin smooth, with minute dots and netted patches. The eyes have pink 

 markings, and are shallow. They mature quickly, yield well and are very dry and 

 mealy when cooked. Of considerable promise. 



Norwood, from W. W. Rawson, is of the Early Rose type. It was one of the most 

 productive early sorts. The tubers are long, pinkish white; eyes shallow, slightly lipped, 

 and have pink markings. The elongated regular form, smooth skin and excellent 

 quality makes them an attractive and desirable variety. 



White Ohio, from Mace, was identical with those grown several years. They have the 

 roughened skin, and the same shape as Early Ohio, but are nearly pure white. They are 

 a selected strain of the Early Ohio, and yield better. They are a good early sort. 



Big Crop, from Mace. The vines are about two feet high, light green, strong, and 

 rather branching; tubers large, nearly round at the seed end, tapering toward the 

 stem; skin, pink tinted, a little netted but rather free from dots. The eyes are pink and 

 rather deeply set which gives the tubers a rough appearance. The flesh is very white and 

 dry. It is a promising sort. 



Farmer's Favorite, from Hiler, has rather rough tubers; eyes deeply set, and 

 shouldered. The skin is pinkish white, finely netted; flesh very firm; white and fine 

 grained. The vines are strong, spreading well over the row thus shading the ground. 

 The tubers are bunched in the hill, of uniform size and yielded among the best. The 

 vigor, yield, and quality make it promising.
