The Harrison Potato. 



THE HARRISON POTATO. 



This is another of Mr. Goodrich's Seedlings, and as a late or winter 

 variety, all things considered, is one of his best, surpassing even the Early 

 Goodrich in productiveness, and, like that popular variety during the past 

 unfavorable season, was not affected by the rot in the least ; while the 

 Jackson White, Sebec, and other varieties on the same ground, were almost 

 a total failure. 



Mr. Goodrich commenced his experiments with a view to improve the 

 potato by planting the seed of the wild Peruvian, from which many thou- 



sands of seedlings were raised, and several excellent varieties obtained, one 

 of the most valuable of which was the Cuzco ; and its progeny are the Early 

 Goodrich and Harrison. 



In size, the Harrison is somewhat larger than the Early Goodrich ; 

 smooth ; skin and flesh both remarkably white ; always solid to the heart ; 

 eyes full on the surface ; quality as a table-potato superior. It is a strong 

 and vigorous grower, and requires plenty of room and generous culture. 



Its handsome appearance, excellent quality, productiveness, and freedom 

 from disease, will make it the most profitable and certain late variety now
