i Rose's Beauty of Beautie.s. 



gEAUTY 



OF BEAUTIES. 



Unsurpassed as a Family Garden Potato, though 

 equally Desirable for a Field Crop. 



A seedliDs: from thePeachblow. On one-eighth of an acre with extra 

 cultivation yielded Vio^i bushels, or at the rate of lUOi bushels per acre. 

 Shape, beautiful oval-oblong to round; skin, russeted white; eyes, 

 shallow ; tlesh, white, tinegrain; cooks evenly through, dry and mealy, 

 not falling to waste. Vines grow strong, fast and vigorous. Tubeis 

 from 1 to 2 pounds each. One of the very best varieties introduced m 

 manv years. I consider it one of the best and most productive late 

 potatoes I know of. Although a medium late variety, tubers form quite 

 earlv and can be dug when the tops are quite green and will cook as 

 mealv as if fully matured. This feature alone makes it a very desira- 

 ble potato for the family garden, while for field culture has few equals

Victor Rose. 



Undoubtedly the best Main Crop Potato ever Intro- 

 duced. On our trial grounds the past summer out- 

 yielded every variety, either early medium or late, 

 with the exception of Irish Daisy. 



It gives me pleasure to offer this grand new potato to my customers. 

 In my estimation this is the greatest main crop potato extant to-day. 

 It contains more new blood, more vigor, better quality and greater 

 ability to vield enormously than any variety of Its class. Last year 

 samples of'Victor Rqse were sent out to 

 all sections of the United States, and 

 where ever planted, either on light 

 sandy soil or heavy ground, whether 

 the season was wet or dry it has made 

 a great record. It is a seedling of the 

 Reeves' Rose which dates back to the 

 Early Rose and although ten or fifteen 

 days" later than the early varieties it 

 is certainly a wonderful potato and 

 should be planted by every one wish- 

 ing a perfect intermediate variety. 

 The skin is perfectly smooth, a hand- 

 some pink in color entirely free from 

 all disease, eyes are prominent but 

 very shallow, shape, is oblong to long 

 ends are nearly square, in fact it is the 

 best shape potato I have ever seeu. 

 My stock of this grand new potato is a 

 large one of handsome large size, well 

 shaped tubers that yielded in common 

 field culture ;383>^ bushels per acre the 

 past summer.

y Jr O 1 A 1 U OJillD. quantity of very 

 y choice potato seed from the nower ball (the 

 ^ true seed) which I am pleased to ofl'er my 

 g customers who would try to raise a new kind 

 «< of potato. The tubers rarely grow to be more 

 pj than a half inch in diameter the first year, but 

 ^ the second they get to be quite respectable pota- 

 p toes, though they do not get out for all they are 

 g worth until the third year. Packet, 15 cents. 



The Irish Daisy Potato. 



First offered the American public in 1894. If you want the heaviest cropper of them all, then you must plant the 



Irish Daisy. With extra cultivation, can readily be made to produce 600 bushels per acre IVIy customers in 



the Northwest, when potatoes were worth only lO cents per bushel, MADE MONEY on Irish Daisies. 



How ? Because even with potatoes selling at this price, they had $70.00 return from an acre. 



. The Irish Daisy is a seedling of the Empire 



State, possessing all the strong qualities of its par- 

 ent; is not quite so large in size, but perfect in form. 

 Eyes shallow and pure bright straw color, on 

 sandy land shading down to a brilliant white. The 

 Irish Daisy, put out and grown by trusty growers 

 on gravelly land, heavy soil and sandy loam, 

 alongside of all other heavy yielding late potatoes, 

 has iiutyielded tliem in every instance. Vines are 

 ocky in growth, a dark, rank green, and seem to 

 and dry weather better than any other late va- 

 ety. They have never blighted yet, therefore 

 light safely be guaranteed blight-proof. The 

 ^rowth in the hill is a marked peculiarity of this 

 potato. We dug in the fall of 'PS one hill contain- 

 ing '27 merchantable potatoes, with a net weight of 

 over 15 pounds, from two eyes of seed planted. 

 With common field culture, on ordinary sandy 

 loam, tliev yielded at the rate of a bushel from five 

 hills for the entire field. They ripen with Hural 

 New Yorker No. 2, White Star and Monroe Seed- 

 ling, and will outyield any one of these three \arie- 

 ties two to one. I wish to call the attention of niv 

 customers to the fact that I recommend the Irish 

 Daisy simply on account of its wonderful produe- 

 tivetiess, as in quality it cannot be compared v* iU> 

 Thoroughbred, Vreeinan or many other varieties.
