NE * VANGUARD 
My stock of seed potatoes are grown by experienced growers, and are 
of undoubted purity and reliability, far surpassing, as my customers well 
know, the general run of Seed Potatoes. JI make special prices on ten 
barrel lots or over. All prices, however, are subject to market changes. By 
Mail ali potatoes are 50 cts. per Ib. 
EARLY MAINE.—Introduced last year by Mr. Gregory, who found it = 
after two years careful test beside all standard sorts, and with scores of seed- 
lings from every part of the United States, the best variety for earliness, 
yield and quality. Early Maine has yielded on a large scale, 410 bushels 
per acre. One gentleman after planting them, says: “I would rather pay 
extra for the Early Maine, than to take Early Rose as a gift.’”? This is the 
general opinion of all who have planted them. They are not only smoother, 
more productive, of better quality than Early Rose, but also, very much 
earlier. Peck, $1.00; 14 bus., $1.75; bus., $3.00; bbl, $6.00. 
NEW VANGUARD.—In earliness, according. to the introducer, it has 
in every instance, when grown side by side with the earliest varieties, been fit 
to dig never less than ten, and often twelve or fourteen days before any 
other had matured. Peck, $1.00; bus., $2.50; bbl., $5.00. 
DAKOTA RED.—This new sort has been very largely advertised, 
although last season only offered by the pound. Skin is firm, of a red flesh ' 
eolor; vine stocky and stand draught well; tubers large and uniform, 
resembling the oid Peachblow in flavor. It is very productive and thrives 
well on both sand and clay soils. Peck, $1.00; bus., $3.00; bbl., $6.00. 
EARLY MAYFLOWER.—This is the third year only of Mayflower, 
and seed is still very scarce. In 1883, it sold for $2.00 a pound, and all pur- 
chasers found it a good investment even at this price. Be sure to give it a 
trial this season. Mayflower is of medium size, with smooth skin ; flesh, 
white, solid, is entirely free from any strong or earthy flavor, and in fact has 
no superior in quality among either late or early sorts. Ripens with the 
Early Rose. Peck, 75 ets.; bus., $2.00; bbl., $4.00. 
NEW EARLY SUNRISE.—The earliest grown producing potatoes 
fit for table eight weeks from time of planting. It is very productive, an 
excellent keeper, and free from all disease. Try it. Peck, 75 cts.; bus., 
$1.75; bbl., $3.75. 
CONQUEROR.—A seedling from the Peachblow, ripening a week later 
. than Early Rose; fiesh, fine grained, white and of excellent flavor. It is a 
great cropper, vines strong and vigorous. This excellent potato is 
certain to take a place in the front rank of the varieties best suited 
to the farmer. Its vigorous growth and great productiveness, (1,008 lbs. 
raised from one lb.) combined with its uniform smoothness, good eating 
aan induce us to stake a great deal upon it. Peck, 75 ets.; bus., $1.75; 
bbl., $3.50. 
MAMMOTH PROLIFIC.—This new variety, is in productiveness = 
simply wonderful, and bids fair to surpass anything yet introduced. It is 
- medium early, ripening in August; of very handsome appearance, few 
eyes, flesh pure white, fine grained, always solid; cooks through evenly, 
and is dry and flowery. Itis a vigorous grower, vines completely covering 
the hil’s. Have been kept in good condition till new potatoes come again. 
To sum up, Mammoth Prolific is just the potato for the gardener, the farmer, 
the family, for market, for the shipper, for the exhibitor; in fact, for every- 
body and every purpose. Sold in 1883 for $20.00 a bushel, but this season 
we offer it Peck, 75 cts.; bus., $2.00; bbl., $4.00. 
WHITE STAR.—It is undoubtedly one of the best potatoes introduced 
for a number of years. Peck, 60 cts.; bus., $1.75; bbl., $3.00. 
en ee for the main crop. Peck, 60 ets.; bus., $1.75; 
bbl., $3.00. 
MAGNUM BONUM.—An enormous yielder, early; of unusually large 
size and superior table quality. It originated in New York, and in 1879, the 
originator raised 548 bushels from one acre, without any manure whatever. 
Peck, 60 cts.; bus., $1.75; bbl., $3.00. 
MAMMOTH PEARL.—It is an enormous producer. Quality excellent 
and it is particularly desirable for table use. It is free from rot; never 
hollow; sure to produce a crop in spite of the bugs. Skin white, and esh 
the whitest of all varieties. Peck, 60 cts.; bus., $1.75; bbl., $3.00. 
BEAUTY OF HEBRON.—Earlier than the Early Rose, and at the same 
fer en fully one-half to one-third more. Peck, 50 cts.; bus., $1.50; 
E ELEPHANT.—It is wonderfully productive, of excellent 
quality and flavor. Peck, 60 cts.; bus., $1.75; bbl., $3.00. 
EARLY ROSE.—Peck, 50 cts.; bus., $1.50; bbl., $2.25. 
NANSEMOND SWEET.—tThe justly celebrated Philadelphia sweet 
potato, almost universally grown for the Philadelphia and New York 
markets. Peck, 75 cts.; bus., $2.25; bbl., $4.00.
