POTATO ROT.— A REMEDY BY WISE IMPORTATION AND 

 REPRODUCTION ! 



THE subscriber offers the following valuable varieties of pota- 

 toes for sale. Tlie N . Y. State Agricultural Society have gen- 

 erously eiicourajfed their importation and culture. 



1st. THE ROUOII PURPLE CHILI. This was imported at 

 a great e.xpense from South America, in 1851, and was the only 

 BOrt out of eight adapted to our climate. For hardiness, yield, 

 and quality for the table, it has no equal. Seventy-five small 

 parcels of it were widely spread, in ISM, over twelve Northern 

 States. Erom more thau one third of them, embracing nine 

 States, reports have been received. These reports, notwithstand- 

 ing the "unfa vorableness of the season, usually show a yield vary- 

 ing from twenty to si.\ty pounds, from one pound planted. But 

 two cases of disease have been reported, one from Mass., and 

 one from N. Y., both in circumstiinces of very unfavorable cul- 

 ture. The adaptation of this variety to the varying soil and cli- 

 mate of our country is such as to render it superior to any now 

 cultivated. Price $8 ^ Bushel. 



2d. SEEDLINGS OF THE ROUGH PURPLE CHILI. These 

 were derived from the seed-ball of the preceding, in 1852. They 

 present a considerable number of varieties. They have been 

 chosen by three successive selections, from nearly eight hundred 

 varieties, so as to secure hardiness, the best yield and fine flesh. 

 In season of maturity many of them, and in color and shape the 

 most of them, exceed the parent. They are now ofiered to the 

 public, after a most laborious and costly cultivation, in the full- 

 est confidence that they will make an addition of valuable sorts 

 to those now in use, such as have never before been made. Con- 

 nected with them are some other sorts of the same age, and 

 equally valuable, and similarly selected from three other families. 

 Many of these seedlings were widely tested the last year, in con- 

 nection with the Rough Purple Chilis. JIT Those varieties of 

 these seedlings which are too late for the Northern States, 

 have been expressly selected for the South. Price $8 ^ Bushel. 



O" Each parcel ordered will be safely packed and directed 

 to the purchaser by Railroad, or Express, as directed, and at 

 the expense and risk of the purchaser. No package failed last 

 year to reach its destination. 



Xir Dealers will be allowed a discount of twenty-five ^ cent. 



jj* Purchasers who take parcels from my house and pack for 

 themselves, will be allowed twenty-five ^f cent, discount.

 proverbial the success of the trees sent from here to all parts of

 rence.

 cultivation, especially those recommended by the American Pom- 

 ological Society ; as well as novelties of bothn^^jue nmd foreign
