Ohio, Early. See Early Ohio. 



Ohio Jvmior. Originated by James Vick, Rochester, N. Y., who says: "This new 

 potato originated with us in 1881, and although a chance seedling it is without 

 doubt in some way related to that good old sort, the Early Ohio. " L. L. Olds 

 says : " It is the only seedling thus fai- of the old favorite Early Ohio. " Introduced 

 by Yick in 1887. 



Description. — Season extra early. Almost identical with the Early Ohio in 

 form and marking of the tubers, habit of growth, etc. Tubers oval-oblong, round 

 at the seed end; eyes full, 'shallow. References: Vick's Floral Guide, 1887, p. 

 164; 1889, p. 93; L. L. Olds's seed catalogue, 1891, p. 4. 



Note. — It is not quite clear to the writer what Vick means by ' ' chance seedling. ' ' 

 Moreover, the wi-iter has not yet learned where Olds gets his authority for the 

 statement, "It is the first and only instance where the 'Ohio' has been repro- 

 duced from seed."
