Rose’s Beauty of Beauties. 
Unsurpassed as a Family Garden Potato, though 
equally Desirable for a Field Crop. 
A seedling from the Peachblow. On one-eighth of an acre with extra 
cultivation yielded 12514 bushels, or at the rate of 1004 bushels per acre. 
Shape, beautiful oval-oblong to round; skin, russeted white; eyes, 
shallow ; flesh, white, fine grain; cooks evenly through, dry and mealy, 
not falling to waste. Vines grow strong, fast and vigorous. Tubers 
from 1 to2 pounds each. One of the very best varieties introduced in 
many years. I consider it one of the best and most productive late 
potatoes I know of. Although a medium late variety, tubers form quite 
early and can be dug when the tops are quite green and will cook as 
mealy 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 yield enormously than any variety of its class. Last year 
samples of Victor Rose 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 
agreat 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- ff 
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 seen. 
My stock of this grand new potatoisa 
large one of handsome large size, well 
shaped tubers that yielded in common 
field culture 38344 bushels per acre the 
past Summer. 
Pound, 30 cents; 3 pounds, 
75 cents, by mail, postpaid.

I Have Had the Reputation 
For a number of years of being head- 
quarters for new varieties of potatoes, and this 
department of my business is one inwhich I have 
always taken a great deal of pride. This year I offer 
my customers only the best, in my opinion, of all 
the new sorts. The list is small, but at the same 
time it covers the ground fully. Last year was a 
very favorable one for potatoes; my crops of all the 
varieties named herein were unusually Jjine, consequently I never remember a year 
in which I have been able to offer such superior seed stock at such reasonable figures.

small; general form symmetrical. It is very strong and vigor- ~) 
ous in growth, and an enormous yielder. Has been planted 6 
largely by many growers to their entire satisfaction. Its ap- a | 
pearance while growing is different from all other varieties. 4 
The stalks are thick and stout and very dark colored, growing = | 
upright at first, afterward spreading around and lopping over 
in every shape; leaves small and of the darkest green; blos- 2 
soms, purple. it is slow in getting started, and the first part of =
