well, and during wet seasons rots less than any other variety. Al-

Breese's Peerless. Only seven years since this variety was 

 introduced, yet at present it is the leading variety for market as 

 well as for family use. Skin dull white, sometimes slightly rus- 



Snowflake. 



setted ; eyes few and shallow, round, occasionally oblong ; grows 

 to a large size, very productive and earlier than the Jackson 

 White. As white potatoes are more salable than pinkish kinds, 

 and as this variety is handsome in appearance, and of good qual- 

 ity, it has become the general favorite in this section. 



Breese's Prolific. This is another new sort. The vines 

 are short, tubers from medium to large, very regular and very 

 smooth. Skin dull white, slightly russetted; eyes shallow and 

 pinkish j flesh white, very mealy and of fine quality -, not quite 

 so productive here as the foregoing kind. 



Kussets. This kind is still planted by some. It is round, 

 redish and slightly russetted. Eyes deep and many. Very pro- 

 ductive, but not so fine a quality as some others. If the season 

 is dry it will do well, but in a wet season, this variety will rot 

 quicker than any other.
