THE GLEASON. 



Also a seedling of 1860, of the Pink Eye Rusty Coat, No. 15, which it closely 

 resembles. When two years old, Mr. Goodrich described it thus : " Longish, rusty, 

 coppery ; leaves and vine's dark green ; flowers white ; a very hopeful sort." Sep- 

 tember 29th, 1863, at digging time, he added: "Very nice; many in the hill; 

 no disease." The two seasons, 1865 and 1866, under Dr. Gray's cultivation, this 

 variety yielded at the rate of four hundred bushels to the acre, being more produc- 

 tive than the parent. This variety gives the best satisfaction. The tubrse are not 

 overgrown, but numerous ; have fine-grained, solid flesh, that cooks white. For 

 winter use this kind is excellent. It is a good keeper, and has a fine, rich flavor, 

 especially when baked. 



Willard. 



J. J. H. Gregory says of this potato : " The Willard is a seedling from the Early 

 Goodrich. It proves to be a half early variety, enormously productive, and is a 

 potato of good promise. It is of a rich rose color, spotted and splashed with white. 

 The flesh is white "
