DESCRIPTION OF PROMISING NEW VARIETIES. 



Carmmi. — In shape oblong-oval, somewhat flattened. Skin rough, rose 

 colored. Flesh firm, yellow, dry, and fine grained. The most promising

 coarse and prongy. Vines very thrifty and vigorous. 



Colossal. — Medium size; shape oblong, flat, a little irregular; skin 

 netted, rose colored; eyes large, shallow, with a little red in them; flesh 

 firm and white. Vines good. Yields well. 



Early Everitt. — Size medium or small; shape oblong-oval; skin netted, 

 rose colored; eyes numerous and deep; flesh firm and dry; desirable because 

 of its earliness and productiveness. 



Heavy Weight — Size medium ; oval ; skin smooth and very light colored; 

 eyes numerous and deep; flesh rather flabby, clowdy white; the potatoes 

 are poor; the redeeming quality of the variety being its productiveness.

 small, shallow; flesh yellow, firm, and dry; very promising. 



Prizetaker. — Medium size; oblong; skin rough, straw colored; eyes few 

 and small, deep, with a red tinge; flesh firm, white, dry; plants vigorous.

 fine appearance; skin smooth, very light colored; eyes large, but shallow, 

 few; flesh firm and white. A good variety. 



Reeves' Rose. — Small to medium; round, regular; skin netted and 

 scurfy, straw colored; eyes numerous and deep; flesh yellow, firm. A fair
