TWO GREAT NEW POTATOES. 



BRITISH QUEEN. 



A grand second early Potato imported originally a number 

 of years ago by ourselves from Scotland, where at that time 

 it was attracting a tremendous amount of attention on account 

 of its heavy yielding qualities and the regularity with which 

 it carried off exhibition prizes. We have grown it here for a 

 number of years, and it is now thoroughly acclimated. It has 

 shown itself under our observation not only to be a fine 

 exhibition variety, for which, in fact, we consider it the equal 

 of any, but a distinctly superior market and table sort. It is 

 an extraordinary ylelder, possesses exceptionally fine table 

 qualities, always cooking dry and mealy with no sign of hol- 

 lowness. The tubers are uniformly large and handsome in 

 appearance, oval and smooth with very few and shallow eyes; 

 skin and flesh white, has no tendency to disease. 



This Potato will, we have little doubt, prove itself the most 

 valuable intermediate variety yet produced. 



Peck GOc; bushel $1.75; barrel (165 lbs.) $4.25. 



Sir Walter Raleigh — A heavy yielding, standard main 

 crop variety, much in demand on account of its uni- 

 formly excellent qualities. Vines vigorous and largely 

 bug-proof; tubers large, fine-grained and clear white; 

 flesh drv and mealy when cooked; eyes few and shal- 

 low. Peck 50c; bushel $1.50; barrel (165 lbs.) $3.50. 



Carman IVo. 2 — A standard main crop variety yielding 

 enormously. It is of perfect form, almost every Potato 

 being of uniform size and shape. It has very shallow 

 eyes, which are few in number. The skin and flesh are 

 white, with no hollow or dark parts; cookins qualities 

 very fine. Peck 40c; bushel $1.25; barjrel (165 lbs.) $3.25. 



Rural New Yorker No. 2 — An intermediate variety of ro- 

 bust habit, and a very abundant yielder producing well- 

 shaped tubers of slightly oblong shape and very, uni- 

 form in size. The skin is white and smooth with few 

 and shallow eyes. Peck 40c; bushel $1.25; barrel 

 (165 lbs.) $3.25. 



The Aeme Hand Potato Planter Is a convenient 

 and UNeful tool, 75c. 



UP-TO-DATE. 



A new main crop Potato that compares more than favor- 

 ably with the best varieties grown in this country. We im- 

 ported the parent stock a number of years ago and believe we 

 now have in our Up-to-Date a Potato which will take second 

 place to none. It is a remarkably heavy cropper and has a 

 grand constitution, being at all times free from disease. The 

 vigor of its growth and its apparent immunity to bugs are 

 very striking. The tubers grow to a uniform size and are 

 wonderfully attractive, with very few eyes, and those exceed- 

 ingly shallow. The skin and flesh are white. Its cooking 

 qualities are the very best, being at all times dry and floury, 

 and the flavor is excellent. In Europe crops of this Grand 

 Potato equal to 20 tons per acre are not unusual. Plant on as 

 well-drained ground as possible and hill up well at the proper 

 time. This variety needs hilling for best results, and it is 

 best to get the seed into the ground soon after the middle of 

 May, although planting thus early is by all means imperative. 

 Peck 50c; bushel $1.50; barrel (165 lbs.) $3.50.
