For the Southern States.

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 quality, it has become the general favorite in 

 this section. 



Brccse'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. Flesh white, 

 very mealy and of fine quality; not quite so productive here as the 

 foregoing kind. 



Russets. This kind is still planted by some. It is round, redish 

 and slightly russetted. Eyes deep and many. Very i^roductive, but 

 not so fine in 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. 



£xtra Early Ver- 

 mont. Very similar to 

 the Early Bose, but of 

 a stronger growth, a 

 little earlier, and the 

 tubers are more uniform 

 and larger. It is an ex- 

 cellent table variety. 



SnowAaike. This is 

 a very early variety; 

 tubers good medium 

 size, elongated, very 

 uniform and quite pro- 

 ductive. Eyes flat on the 

 body of the tuber, but 

 compressed on the seed 

 end. Skin white, flesh 

 very line grained, and 

 when boiled snow-white. 

 For an early market 

 variety it can not be 

 surpassed. 



Beauty ©f Hebron. 

 I have tried this variety 

 very thoroughly and 

 have found it all that it 

 has been represented. 

 It is earlier than the 

 Early Eose, which re- 

 sembles it very much, 

 being a little lighter and 

 more russetted in color. 

 It is very productive and 

 of excellent table quali- 

 ty, more mealy than the 

 Early Rose. I have a Extra Early Vermont, 



large lot grown East, and the crop is promising, so I expect to be able 

 to offer the genuine article at a low price.
