CREAM CITY 



Potatoes in many parts of the country. It is the beM early Potato we 

 have ever seen. In habit of growth and general appearance it resem- 

 bles the Early Ohio, with this decided difference, however, that while 

 the shape is almost identical with that very popular variety, the flesh 

 ia pure while. The tubers grow to a large size, but are always sound 

 and solid, showing no disposition whatever to become hollow. They 

 are matured very early, and are of excellent quality, and cook remark- 

 ably quick, and are invariably mo.st delightfully dry and flaky, very 

 much like that old favorite, Snowflake. And not the least of its many 

 good qualities is its remarkable productiveness. As a keeper it is unsur- 

 passed. Peck, 65 cts.; bushel, $1.75; bbl $4.50

BEAUTY OF HEBRON. 



The Milwaukee, 



An excellent New Early Potato, resembling Crown i 

 Jewell in appearance, but of larger size and very much 

 superior in qiiality. It is a strong grower with very strong 

 tops, and comes into use fully as early as Early 

 Sunrise, yielding however a mucli larger crop than 

 that variety, and has the further merit of being a first- 

 class keeper, and may be depended upon to remain in goed 

 condition without sprouting until very late in the season. 

 If grown in rich black loam it will produce st> 

 very heavy crop of handsome large tubers of very 1 

 fine quality. 1
