32 New Secdling-P otatoes. 



Its history is as follows : In 1861, the original plant was raised in Hub- 

 bardston, Vt., from a seed-apple of the Garnet Chili, by Mr. Albert Breese, 

 the originator of the Early Rose. 



It is a singular fact, that both the Early Rose and the subject of our 

 illustration came from seed of the same apple. 



The vines of Breese's Prolific are of full medium height, bushy, but 

 somewhat spreading ; the foliage is large, and the plants do not set fruit ; 

 the tubers are very smooth, a litde long, much flattened ; the skin is a 

 dull white, often rusty ; eyes almost even with the surface, rather pinkish ; 

 the flesh is white, cooks meal}', and of excellent quality. The potatoes 

 are never false-hearted, but full and even. 



It matures about three weeks later than the Early Rose.
