EARLY VARIETIES. 
THE ‘“‘BOVBE.” (See Novelties, page 20.) 1 lb. 30c., 3 Ibs. 70c., 
5 lbs. $1.00, postpaid. If by freight or express, deduct 8c. per lb., 
80c. peck, $2.75 bush., $5.50 bbl. 
“Your Bovee potato I planted alongside some Early Rose and the Bovee 
beat them 3 to 1 in yield, and gave me edible potatoes in 8 weeks’ time; they 
distanced everything in the potato line in this vicinity, and I can’t withhold 
my testimony oftheir value.” F, E. JOHNSON, Americus, Ga. 
“BARLY NORTHER.” Several days earlier than the Barly 
Rose, and equally prolific; a most desirable sort. Itis a strong, 
vigorous grower, and the potatoes are bunched well together in 
the hills. In shape it resembles the Early Rose; the eyes are 
few and shallow. Its table qualities cannot be excelled, cooking 
dry and floury, whether baked or boiled. Seems to do well 
everywhere. (See cut.) 75c. peck, $2.25 bush., $4.50 bbl. 
“‘The Early Norther Potatoes I planted last spring have proved to be the 
best I have ever lad, both in quantity and quality.” 
QUEEN. A grand potato, closely resembling Beauty of Hebron 
in appearance, color, size and shape, but is much earlier and a 
heavier yielder. 75c. peck, $2.25 bush., $4.50 bbl. 
ROCHESTER ROSE. Of recent years the Early Rose has not 
done well in some sections. The Rochester Rose, which we now 
offer, is a seedling of the Barly Rose, and is an improvement in 
every respect. It willaverage larger in size, is not quite so early 
and is a much heavier yielder. 75c. peck, $2.25 bush., $4.50 bbl. 
HENDERSON’S EARLY PURITAN. One of the most valuable 
early varieties, entirely distinct from all other early sorts, the 
skin being nearly pure white. It cooks dry and floury, and is 
unequaled in quality. Awarded the medal at the American In- 
stitute Fair. (See cut.) 80c. peck, $2.50 bush., $5.00 bbl. 
“From the one peck of Early Puritan Potatoes that I purchased from 
you last spring I dug 18 bushels.”’ 
“In the spring I bought one peck of Henderson’s Early Puritan Potatoes 
from you. They were planted on my Island Farm on April Ist and dug July 
16th. The yield was 33 pecks. They are large, smooth, and could easily have 
been dug a month ago.” 
“« Our potatoes from your Early Puritan were the very finest potatoes I have 
ever eaten. They kept fiuely, though every one around lost by rot.” 
=<$—$—S== 
EARLY OHIO. Tubers almost round; flesh solid; eooks dry and 
mealy; very early. 80c. peck, $2.50 bush., $5.00 bbl. 
EARLY ROSE. The leading variety for earliness, quality and 
productiveness. 75c. peck, $2.25 bush., $4.50 bbl. 
BEAUTY OF HEBRON. One of the best early sorts; productive 
and of excellent flavor; a good keeper ; pure white skin and flesh. 
60c. peck, $2.00 bush., $4.25 bbl. 
CLARKE’S No. 1. Earlier than the Early Rose and very pro- 
ductive. Cooks mealy. 75c. peck, $2.25 bush., $4.50 bbl. 
MAIN CROP VARIETIES. 
NEW IDEAL. Yields avery much heavier crop than any of the 
earlies; in fact, it outyielded several of the late potatoes. Itis 
a handsome potato, having a pink russet skin; itis one of the 
best cooking or baking potatoes, the flavor being excellent; the 
vines are large, stocky and healthy; its keeping qualities are of 
the best. 80c. peck, $2.50 bush., $5.00 bbl. 
CARMAN No.3. A new seedling raised by Mr. Carman. It is 
of perfect form, even in dry seasons, almost every potato being 
of uniform size and shape, averaging nearly a pound each in 
weight. It has but few eyes, and they are very shallow. The 
skin and flesh are extremely white, no hollow or dark parts, and 
its cooking qualities are exceptionally fine; a remarkably hand- 
See Gee and enormously prolific. 60c. peck, $2.00 bush., 
4, bl. 
CAMBRIDGE RUSSET. An exceedingly handsome russet po- 
tato, the entire skin being heavily netted. A strong grower, 
heavy yielder, remarkably free from disease and of superb 
cooking qualities. 75c. peck, $2.25 bush., $4.50 bbl. 
LATE PURITAN. In the LATE Puritan we have a potato which 
is identical with the Early Puritan in appearance, color and 
quality, but far more productive. T5c. peck, $2.25 bush., $4.50 bbl. 
“Ifyou are interested in hearing of your Late Puritan Potatoes, 1 am happy 
to say that not only have they outyielded everything in this part ofthe country 
and are fast taking the place ofthe old standard varieties, suchas White Star, 
etc., but also the consumers pronounce them the best potatoes they have ever 
used.” £. D. KASSON, Gloversville, N. Y.
