244 How to Make the Garden Pay. 



Badger State. Originated by Mr. Huebner, of Wisconsin. 

 It promises to make a place for itself at the top of the list. Of 

 large size, oblong shape and firm skin. Proves to be an excellent 

 shipper. 



Early Rose. The well-known early market variety. So 

 many of its seedlings have been introduced in recent years, 

 and are being marketed under the name of " Early Rose," that 

 it may be difficult to procure the pure old variety under that 

 name. 



Prince Edward Island Rose is being sent out as the well- 

 preserved old sort, and having retained all its original good 

 qualities. 



Beauty of Hebron. Equals the Rose in popularity as an 

 early market sort, and ripens at about the same season. 



Clark's No. i. An early sort of the Rose type. 



Early Mayflower, 



Early Maine, 



Morning Star, 



Beauty of Beauties, 



Conqueror. All these are worthy of trial. 



Peerless. An old sort, much grown for market, especially 

 in sandy soils ; very productive, but usually quoted lower than 

 other leading market sorts. Food for the south. 



Mammoth Pearl, 



Mammoth Prolific. These are of the Peerless type, but 

 preferable to the old Peerless. 



White Elephant. A large, late and immensely productive 

 Beauty of Hebron ; of fine quality, and well thought of in 

 market.

 quality only when grown on light soils. 



White Star. Might be called an Improved Burbank, as it 

 resembles that sort in general appearance, but seems to be 

 superior to it in almost every respect. Now, next to the Rose, 

 the leading market sort. 



Dakota Red. A large prolific red sort, well thought of 

 in most localities. 



Empire State. Very promising ; superior in yield and 

 quality. 



POTATO (SWEET). 



Convolvulus Batatas. German, Batatc ; French, Patate 

 Douce ; Spanish, Batata In sweet potatoes we have a most

 which will hardly ever succeed in the short seasons north of New
