Itrezee's Prolific. 



This variety originated with Albert Brezee, Esq., of Hubbardtown, Vt., in 1861. 

 Mr. Brezee was the originator of the Early Rose, the seed producing both that and 

 Brezee's Prolific, being from the same seed-ball, and both are seedlings of the Gar- 

 net Chili. 



The vines of Brezee's Prolific are of medium height, quite bushy, and somewhat 

 spreading, and with very large leaves ; as yet they have produced no seed-balls. 

 Tubers large, regular in shape, and very smooth, slightly oblong, and very much 

 flattened ; skin dull white, inclined to be russeted ; eyes but little depressed and 

 slightly pinkish ; flesh white, rarely if ever hollow ; cooks quickly, and is very mealy 

 and of excellent quality. Yield very large, maturing three weeks later than the Early 

 Rose. 



Worth Obsewing. An experienced cultivator says, " My experience 

 leads me to lay down the following as safe rules : 



" I. As early as possible, lay your plans for the next season's planting, and manure 

 and work your ground accordingly, in advance. 



"II. Secure the best seed, even if it cost you two or five times as much as a com- 

 mon and less valuable sort. 



"III. Always get a new, improved variety, as soon as it has been tested and proved. 

 Remember the profit is mainly made by the early cultivators. When it gets so com- 

 mon that_y0tt can buy cheap, you will have to sell cheap, too. 



" IV. Buy only from reliable dealers, and be sure you get i\\Q genuine article. 



" V. BUY, or at least ORDER, if you possibly can, in the fall or winter ; you thus 

 save the spring rise of prices. 



" VI. Liberal outlay for seed, manure, tools, and work gives ten-fold the largest re- 

 turn in money, as well as satisfaction."
