34 ESCULENT ROOTS. 



Early Goodrich. Plant of hardy, healthy habit ; tubers of 

 Am. Agr. f u \\ medium size, oblong, white, with rather 

 large, prominent eyes ; flesh white, light and dry, mild and 

 delicate. 



The variety was originated by the late Rev. C. E. Good- 

 rich, of Utica, N.Y., after whom it was named ; and is 

 described as being a seedling of the Cuzco. 



It was introduced in 1864 ; and has proved not only of 

 fine quality, but early and productive. Of sixteen thousand 

 seedlings raised by Mr. Goodrich, this promises to be one 

 of the best. 



Garnet Chili. Plant of medium 

 height, rather erect, 

 sturdy, and branching ; flowers 

 abundant, white or pale purple, 

 showy, and generally abortive ; 

 tubers large, roundish or oblong, 

 purplish-red or garnet-colored ; 

 Gamet cMii. eves not abundant, and of mod- 



erate depth ; flesh nearly white, dry and mealy when cooked, 

 and, the size of the tubers considered, remarkably well 

 flavored. Not early, but hardy, healthy, productive, and 

 recommended for cultivation. 



The Garnet Chili, now very generally disseminated, was 

 originated in 1853 by Rev. Chauncey E.. Goodrich, of 

 Utica, N.Y., from the seeds of a variety received from 

 Chili, South America. 



Gillyflower. Tubers large, oval or oblong, flattened, 



white, and comparatively smooth ; flesh white, 

 dry, and of fair quality. The plants are healthy, and the 

 variety is very productive : but it is inferior to many others 

 for table use ; though its uniform good size, and its fair 

 form and whiteness, make it attractive and salable in the 

 market.
