The Stourbridge Glory is the best potato of this type 

 which we have grown on a large scale during the past 

 few years. 



The Bruce runs the Stourbridge Glory a close race, 

 and is preferred by some growers. 



The Reading Giant ranks among the best Late 

 Kidneys, and is often dug green. It is suitable for 

 almost all classes of soil. It is a good all-round 

 variety. 



The Colossal is a comparatively new introduction, 

 which has attracted much attention on account of its 

 great cropping powers. The tubers are large, but 

 well-shaped, and, considering their great size, very 

 uniform. It is fast coming into notoriety. 



The Main Crop has been popular during the past 

 few years. In seme places this year it has shown a 

 tendency to "kindle " ; in others it has done well. 



The Sirius is notable on account of the high place 

 it has attained in the Warminster trials. It heads the 

 list in point of yield. It is said to lie of excellent 

 quality, and resists disease in a marked manner. 



The Up-to-Date has been out long enough for its 

 high merits to be appreciated, although it is a com- 

 paratively new variety. Last year we grew thirty 

 cwt. from one cwt. of closely-cut seed, which was at the 

 rate of fourteen tons per acre, in open field cultivation. 

 There was no trace of disease, the quality was 

 perfect, the skin beautifully netted, the flesh white, 

 and not a coarse tuber in the crop. We intend to 

 grow it largely in the future.
