RlCEARD FrOTSCHER's AiMANAC and Garden aIantal 



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. 



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. Flesh white, 

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

 foregoing kind. ; 



Rus§et§. This kind is still planted by some. It is round, redish 

 and slightly russetted. Eyes deep and many. Very productive, but 

 not so tine 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. 



Extra Early Ver- 

 mont. Very similar to 

 the Early Eose, but of 

 a stronger growth, a 

 little earlier, and the 

 tubers are more uniform 

 and larger. It is an ex- 

 cellent table variety. 



Siiowflake. 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 fine grained, and 

 when boiled snow-white 

 For an early market 

 variety it can not be 

 surpassed, and will come 

 into general cultivation 

 when better known.
