If you want the HEAVIEST CROPPER of them all, then you must plant the Irish Daisy. With extra cultiva- 
tion can readily be made to produce 600 busheis per acre. My customers in the Northwest, where 
potatoes last Fall were worth only 10 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. 
N INTRODUCING the Irish Daisy to my customers for the first time, I stated in doing so 
I gave them a fif companion for the Freeman. With Maule’s Early Thoroughbred, “the 
E Freeman and Irish Daisy, my friends have THE THREE BEST VARIETIES 
KNOWN to the American potato planter to-day. During the ‘last three 
or four years, owing to the great success I had in introducing the Freeman Po- 
ato, I do not believe any one in America has received so many new potatoes for trial, or been of- 
red so many new potatoes by potato growers from all sections of the country. I 6f course tried 
1 the different samples; but until I secured the Irish Daisy I could find nothing that any- 
here near approached the Freeman. As _ stated in last. year’s catalogue, in securing the Irish 
aisy, I am satisfied that at last I have obtained the greatest of all late potatoes. The Irish 
aisy is a seedling of the Empire State, possessing all the strong qualities of its parent; is not 
uite 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 
4 gravelly land, heavy soil and sandy loam, alongside of all other heavy yielding late potatoes, has 
a 8 outyielded them in every instance. Vines are stocky in growth, a dark, rank green, and seem to 
@ stand dry weather better than any other late variety. They have never blighted yet, therefore 
a might safely be guaranteed to be blight-proof. The growth in the hill is a marked peculiarity of 
a this potato. We dug in the Fall of 93 one hill containing 27 merchantable potatoes, with a net 
zweight of over 15 pounds, from two eyes of seed planted. With common field culture on ordi- 
# nary sandy loam, they yielded at the rate of a bushel from five hills for the entire field. They 
5 ripen with Rural New Yorker No. 2, White Star and Monroe Seedling, and will outyield any 
«one of these three varieties two to one. For eating purposes the quality cannot compare 
g with the Freeman or Thoroughbred, which are undoubtedly the finest flavored potatoes known. 
S For a potato to sell from the wagon or by market gardeners, or grocers direct to customers, they 
E will outsell every other variety, owing to their attractive form, “shape and pure white coloring. 
t As stated before, ‘with Maule’s Thoroughbred and Freeman for early, and Irish Daisy for late, my 
€ customers will have the three most perfect potatoes known to-day. 
Owing to the wonderful record made by the Irish Daisy the last two seasons, a record that 
has never been equaled before by any other variety, I understand a large number of dealers pro- 
= pose offering the Irish Daisy this year, who have never had any stock in any way, shape or form 
from me either this year or last, consequently I would caution every one to be very careful from whom 
= they purchase. My prices for this year are even more reasonable than last, especi jally when it is 
P g considered that this is only the third year of its introduction, and I .do not think-that any one 
‘ will offer the bogus stock at much less than my figures for the genuine article.
