 i NEW BADGER STATE. When 

 $ traveling in the West, my attention was 

 j called to this choice seedling, and I de- 

 < teruiined to list it. Badger State was first 

 ! offered in 1889 at >M per barrel. It is a 

 1 large oblong white potato of excellent 

 market shape and appearance. A 

 strong grower and good yielder. It is 

 from a seed-ball of Burbank's Seedling fertil- 

 ized with Wall's Orange. The originator, 

 Mr. Huebner, of Wisconsin, says: ''This 

 variety, now five years from the seed-ball

 bines so many highly desirable qualities. 

 Flesh is pure, snowy white and floury : 

 rich and delicate in flavor. Vines 

 very rank, ol vigorous growth 

 Tubers lie very compactly "

 large to" very large. The vines are very 

 strong. The skin is firmer than most
