Second Earlies. 



The White Elephant is a strong sport from the 

 same stock as the Beauty of Hebron. Although very 

 coarse, and in wet seasons proved a poor cooker when 

 first brought out, it has toned down so much that it is 

 now very similar to the Beauty of Hebron. It is still 

 rather the heavier cropper. 



The Daniels was rather inclined to coarseness when 

 first introduced, but like White Elephant, toned down. 

 The growth is very similar. It is now always of 

 excellent quality, 



Jeannie Deans is a newer variety, which has speedily 

 achieved fame for its good cooking and yielding 

 powers. 



The Reading Russet is a very handsome potato, 

 and is valuable for show purposes. The International 

 Kidney is also very popular. 



The Abundance is a particularly handsome, good- 

 cropping variety, which cooks well. In some seasons 

 it has a tendency to go hollow at the centre, but is, 

 nevertheless, a very valuable potato. 



The Kemp is very popular in Ireland. It is a full 

 cropper, but is more suitable to the Irish than the 

 English markets. 



The Beauty of Bute has recently attained popu- 

 larity around Dublin, and is a useful variety, suitable 

 for English markets. It crops well. 



The Windsor Castle has already, in a short time, 

 come into high favour. It is a good all-round variety, 

 with nothing that we know of to detract from its merits.
