We offer this fine new Potato for the first time. It is an early white-fleshed, kidney-shaped variety, a good 

 cropper and an excellent cooker, having a dry mealy texture so much desired in a table potato. Our illustrations 

 from photographs show the flat surface of the potatoes, illustrating extremely shallow bat strong eyes. Skin a 

 beautiful light pink, remarkably smooth, and very attractive in appearance. The vines grow vigorously, the roots 

 extend very deeply into the soil, thus resisting drought. This variety is especially free from blight and rot. The 

 originator writes, December I, 1902 : " I planted last spring six bushels of my new potato and harvested 180 bushels. 

 Notwithstanding the very wet season, I found not more than one peck of rotten potatoes in the field with no scab, 

 while other varieties planted in similar land were twenty-five per cent, decayed and scabby." We have confidence 

 in recommending this new sort for trial, as we feel sure that growers for private consumption will welcome it. 

 Orders will be filled in rotation as received.
