THE VEGETABLE GARDEN 



Flowers very numerous, large, lilac-blue, a large proportion of them 

 seeding. This Potato 'seeds, perhaps, more abundantly than any 



other of the ordinary 

 kinds. It is a good, 

 early, productive variety, 

 and keeps well. The 

 flesh is floury and very 

 yellow. The crop may 

 be dug about the end 

 of July. The tubers are 

 never very large, but they 

 are very plentiful, and of 

 fairly uniform size. 



Incomparable Potato. 

 Tubers oval or almond- 

 shaped, smooth, with eyes 

 almost level ; the skin 

 is yellow, and usually 

 blotched with purple-red ; 

 the flesh is yellow, the 

 shoot violet. The stems

are thick and angular, trailing, and sometimes striped purple ; 

 the leaves are small, curled ; the leaflets oval-pointed, hairy and 

 folded over. The flowers are flax gray and often fertile. A 

 handsome Potato, with regularly shaped tubers. Exclusively a 

 cooking potato, half-early, but not productive. 



Incomparable Potato.
