Following is a list of potatoes chiefly grown in

Earlies. Button's May Queen: This variety is

 first early. 



Button's Ringleader: White kidney, white flesh, 

 the earliest potato grown. 



Button's Harbinger: A white round, white

 flavor.

 variety. This variety is more largely grown than

Button's 90-fold: This is a heavy cropping white 

 fleshed kidney, of American texture. 



Sir John Llewelyn: White kidney, white flesh, 

 a heavy cropping first early. 



Duke of York: White kidney, yellow flesh, an 

 excellent cropper, of good flavor. 



Second Earlies. Button's Windsor Castle: A

 considered by connoiseurs to be one of the best 

 flavored varieties in cultivation. 



Button's Supreme: White kidney, white flesh, 

 heavy cropper, excellent quality. 



British Queen: A heavy cropping variety of 

 good flavor, largely grown by farmers. 



Sharpe's Express: White kidney, white flesh, 

 excellent cropper, of good flavor.

 kidney, white flesh, handsome shape, perfect cook-
