HENDERSON'S EARLY PURITAN. 



Hundreds of testimonials, and not a single bad report, confirm our opinion that it is the most valuable Potato that has been intro- 

 duced since the Early Rose. The prevailing shape is shown in the cut, and we consider its form to be a distinctive feature, because all 

 other valuable early sorts that are white belong to the same order as the Snowflake — that is, they are flat in form, so that the shape of 

 Henderson's Early Puritan cannot be excelled. The skin and flesh are very white, it cooks dry and floury, and is equal in quality to 

 that of the Snowflake, than which there can be no higher standard to compare by. But the chief value of Henderson's Early Puritan 

 Potato lies in its great productiveness ; planted under exactly the same conditions, it has thus far yielded nearly double that of the 

 Early Eose and the Beauty of Hebron. Price, 20c. lb. ; 4 lbs. for 60c. (postage, 8 cts. per lb. extra). 75c. peck ; S2.25 bush ; $4.50 bbl.

BILL NYE." 



This is a valuable new white kidney variety. It is a cross between " Beauty of Hebron " and the " Belle." It is very smooth and 

 handsome, well studded with eyes, which are unusually shallow for a late potato. It is a vigorous grower, of first-class quality, and an 

 enormous cropper. The tubers are easily dug, as they lie compact in the hill. One of the largest growers of seed potatoes in the United 

 States informs us that he found more potatoes of this variety to the hill than any other sort, and, with his experience even, he was sur- 

 prised to see his men throw them out of the hills in such quantities when they were dug. Last, but most notably, they are the best 

 keepers we have ever seen. They can be kept in an ordinary cellar temperature until July following without sprouting. The " Bill Nye " 

 is similar in shape and general appearance of tuber to "Burpee's Superior" or " Munroe Seedling," but is entirely distinct in habit, and 

 superior from its remarkable late keeping qualities. Price, 30c. per lb. ; 4 lbs. for 81.00 (postage, 8c. per lb. extra). $1.25 peck; $4.00 bush. ; 

 $8.00 bbl. 



A flattish-round, red-skinned variety. The tubers are very large in an ordinary season, having deep eyes but few in number. The 

 quality when cooked is everything that can be desired. Its season of ripening is medium late, coming in about the same time as 

 "Peerless" and "Jumbo." It is the strongest grower that we have seen, and considered to be the heaviest cropper in America to-day. 

 Every one who saw this potato growing last season predicts a great future for it. Price, 30c. per lb. ; 4 lbs. for SI. 00 (postage, 8c. per 

 lb. extra). $1.25 per peck ; $4.00 per bush. ; $8.00 per bbl.
