Norwood was received from Rawson in 1901 and is a choice variety. 

 It yielded 217.69 bu. in 1901 and 279.89 bu. per acre in 1902. 



Salzers Early is not a heavy yielder, but it is one of the quickest 

 maturing red varieties in the list. The yield for 1901 was 161.88 bu. ; in 

 1902, 181.14 bu. per acre. 



Silver Crown stands among the leaders, both in quality and quantity. 

 Sunlight is very similar. They are two very desirable early white varie- 

 ties. Silver Crown gave the heavier vield (1901, 180.12 bu.; 1902, 378.38 

 bu.) while Sunlight gave 215.10 bu. in 1901 and 204.34 bu. in 1902, an 

 average slightly in favor of Silver Crown. 



Triumph averaged 284,72 bu. per acre for the past two years, yielding 

 395.81 bushels in 1902. It is a promising variety. 



MEDIUM AND LATE SORTS. 



All Seasons, is a mid-season variety, with a yield of 259.16 bu. per acre. 

 The tubers resemble Early Rose, oval in form with pink markings and are 

 of good quality. The tops are upright, with a spreading habit. 



Heavy Weight, is of the Carman type. The tops are strong, upright 

 growers. The tubers are well bunched in the hill, white, regular, oval, 

 slightly flattened, very smooth and white. It is an attractive variety but 

 no better than many others of the same class. 



Lakeside Champion is said to have originated in the western part of 

 Michigan. The yield (168.45 bu. per acre) was not large, but the tubers 

 which are elongated, and of good size are of fine quality and fairly 

 attractive. 



Among the second early varieties, the new Early Carman is prominent. 

 It ripened soon after the early sorts and yielded 388.74 bu. of very smooth, 

 white potatoes. 



Daughter of Rose was slightly later. The yield was very promising 

 (456.13 bu.) but the tubers were uneven and rough. Rose colored. 



Irish Cobbler (435.40 bu.) holds its place as a second early, ripening 

 only about ten days later than Early Ohio. 



Early Peachblow (263.97 bu.) was a few days later than Irish Cobbler 

 and gives an average of 193.96 bu, per acre for seven years. 



Pioneer matured nearly with Irish Cobbler and yielded 414.65 bu. The 

 tubers are smooth and of the best quality. Very promising. 



LATE VARIETIES. 



Among the late varieties there are a large number that resemble Carman 

 No. 3, and many appearing to be either selections or seedlings from that 

 variety. The list includes Battles Best, Dewey, Free Silver, Free Trade.
