40 VEGETABLES FOR THE GARDEN 



Improved Thick Long Red. — Height of plant 12 to 15 in. 

 Fruit 3 to 4 in. long, tapering uniformly from shoulder to 

 point. Diameter at shoulder 1\ in. Very early and productive. 

 Color when ripe very deep scarlet. Colors quickly after reach- 

 ing maturity. We recommend it for home or market use 

 where ripe peppers are wanted. 



POTATOES 



Early Rose. — This potato needs no introduction to our New 

 England growers, having long been the standby for early plant- 

 ing. While new varieties are annually introduced with a big 

 flourish, claiming to excel this variety in yield as well as earli- 

 ness, yet we are unable after testing them all to point out one 

 that has given as good average results in the two above men- 

 tioned respects, provided a good selected strain of seed was 

 used. 



In our variety test the past season the following early vari- 

 eties made a very good showing and are worthy of further trial : 

 Junior Pride, Early Norwood, Eureka. 



Delaware. — Season medium early to late Tubers have a 

 roundish flattened form, size medium to large, skin white, 

 finely netted, quality excellent. A very strong growing and 

 heavy yielding variety. Highly recommended as a reliable 

 main crop variety for home use or market. 



Green Mountain. — Season medium to late. Tubers similar 

 to the Delaware excepting size and shape, averaging longer and 

 larger than that variety. Very vigorous and productive, quality 

 fine. This potato brings the top price in nearly all New Eng- 

 land markets, therefore one of the most profitable for main 

 crop. 



Washington. — Season medium to late. Tubers large to very 

 large, shape regular, oblong, somewhat flattened, skin very 

 smooth and white. Quality fair (not equal in this respect to 

 the Delaware and Green Mountain). A very, productive and 

 vigorous sort. In our test of potatoes the past season, includ- 

 ing fifty leading old and new varieties, the Washington stood 

 first in point of yield, the Delaware second, and the Green 

 Mountain third.
