THE EARLIEST OF ALL POTATOS, 



"SHARPE'S VICTOR." 



Sharpe's VICTOR is a seedling raised from the Alma Kidney 

 and the old early short-top round Potato. It is earlier than 

 any present variety, and having a very short top, it is especially 

 suitable for frame cultivation. Its precocity is such, that it can 

 be had fit for the table in eight weeks or less from the time of 

 planting, and there is no difficulty in securing new Potatos for 

 the table every day in the year. Victor is a flattened roundish 

 oval in shape, with a beautiful clear skin and extremely shallow 

 eyes, being one of the handsomest as well as the heaviest 

 cropper of any variety adapted for frame work, or for a first 

 early crop outdoors. It is dry and mealy when cooked, and 

 the flavour and ths quality of the flesh are superior to nearly 

 every other variety at present in use. Several seasons* trials 

 have fully confirmed all that has been said iu favour of the 

 Victor Potato. It is proved to be the earliest, most prolific, 

 and best flavoured of all the early Potatos; and for pot culture 

 is unrivalled.
