OUR FIELD OF PRIDE OF THE SOUTH, GROWN IN AROOSTOOK COUNTY, MAINE, YIELDING 550 BUSHELS PER ACRE. 



New extra early potato, pride of tne south. 



This is a white sport of the Bliss' Triumph, first found a few years ago in a large field of that popular 

 variety. The type is fixed to such an extent that in a field of two acres, but one-half dozen Red-Skinned 

 Potatoes were found. It is not only the earliest,but produced more bushels to the acre than any other first 

 early potato ever grown in Aroostook County. In ripening, the vines die down all at once, thus giving 

 the blight, which works down into the potatoes through the vine, no chance to work. It is a quick, strong 

 and vigorous grower, and in cooking qualities very superior. It was distributed in a small way last sea- 

 son among prominent planters in many of the Southern and Middle States, who all agree in pronouncing 

 it the most profitable potato they have ever grown, bringing from 50 cents to jji.oo per barrel above the 

 price of Red Bliss Triumph and other extra early sorts, on account of its great earliness, beautiful white 

 skin and handsome shape. Price, large tubers, per lb., 40c.; 3 lbs., fi.oo ; 50 good, strong eyes, fi.oo, 

 by mail, post-paid. Peck, 80c.; bush., $2.25; barrel, I5.00, by freight or express. 



NEW WATO. fflftl F KlNC. 



The Table King is a new seedling 

 originated in Washington County, the 

 banner potato county of New York State. 

 We have had it tested the past season in 

 different States, and, judging from the 

 numerous favorable reports, we think it 

 has a great future and is destined to become 

 the best all-around potato on the mar- 

 ket. The skin is a light russet color, with 

 few and shallow eyes. The flesh is snow- 

 white, remarkably dry, smooth and 

 floury when either baked or boiled. 

 Their flavor as a table potato is not ex- 

 ceeded by any variety that grows. The 

 vines are unusually strong and healthy. 

 The tubers lie compact in the hill, ripen 

 medium early, and are entirely free from 

 scab, rot or disease of any kind, and crop 

 enormously. Price, tubers, lb., 40c.; 3 

 lbs., $1.00; 50 eyes, |i.oo, post-paid; 

 peck, |i.oo ; bush., I3.00 ; barrel, ^6.00..
