196 GARDENING FOR PROFIT. 



Mercer • — A variety perhaps more generally known and 

 cultivated than any other sort ; it is very productive, me- 

 dium size, and of excellent flavor, and keeps well until 

 spring. One of the leading market varieties. 



Harrison. — One of the Goodrich seedlings. Said to he 

 the most productive of all Potatoes; color yellowish- 



white; ohlong; full; flavor excellent. At this date, the 

 most valued and highest priced on the list. The ahove 

 engraving represents half the aA^erage size. 



Peach Blow. — Another sort extensively grown for mar- 

 ket, and a favorite shipping variety. Tubers rather large, 

 round ; eyes rather sunk ; skin pinkish-red. Very pro- 

 ductive, and in this section has for some years withstood 

 disease better than auy other sort ; should be planted 24- 

 or 3 feet in drills. 



White Peach Blow. — A sub-variety of the above, 

 claimed by some to be superior.
