New Late Potato-The Irish Daisy. "^Ztr'" 



This new main-crop Potato, is a seedling of Umpire State, originated in the great potato district of 

 Northern New York. It has been thoroughly tested by some of the largest growers there, and has in 

 every instance outyielded tTvo to one such good varieties as the Rural New Yorker No. 2, White Star, 

 Empire State and- all others with which it has been grown in competition. It grows uniformly to good 

 size, with shallow eyes, skin bright straw color, flesh pure white, of the best quality and of handsome 

 shape, as shown in photograph above. The vines are very stocky and vigorous in growth, dark green, 

 withstand drought better than any other late potato and are absolutely blight-proof. With the Penn 

 Manor, described below, for early, and the Irish Daisy for late, you will be sure of having two of the 

 best potatoes in cultivation Prices: lb., 40c.; 3 lbs., $r.oo, by mail, post-paid ; peck, 65c.; b"sh., I1.75; 

 barrel, $3.75; 10 barrels, I3.50 per barrel, by freight or express. 



Tiie Penn Manor Potato. "TJr^^XZZT 



This variety was originated from a seed-ball of the Early Rose by one of the largest growers of that 

 historic country, a few miles north of Philadelphia, known as Penn's Manor. It has been critically 

 tested and planted by some of the most extensive potato growers, who all agree in saying they have 

 never found a hardier or more productive variety, doubling the Early Rose in yield. It is fuller at the 

 ends, and has a skin in color a lighter pink than Early Rose, ripening a few days earlier, and with 

 heavier foliage, which withstands the beetle to a remarkable extent. It also stood the severe drought 

 of the past summer at our Bucks County farm better and produced more than any of the eight varieties 

 we grew there. Price, per lb., 40c.; 3 lbs., |i.oo, post-paid ; peck, 70c.; bush., |2.oo; barrel, $4.25, by 

 freight or express. 



The Carman No. 1. 



A New riedium or 

 Intermediate Potato. 



Originated by the celebrated editor of the Rural New Yorker, who produced the "Rural New Yorker 

 No 2." It IS a seedling from other seedlings raised through several generations, always retaining those 

 with best qualities. It is medium in season, shaped like the Rural No 2, and has very few shallow eyes. 

 The flesh is unusually white and the quality perfect. It is considered by many of the best potato 

 growers in the country who have made careful trials for the last two years, to be the most promising 

 second early variety recently introduced. I/b., 40c,; 3 lbs., |i.oo, post-paid ; peck, 75c.; bush., |2.oo; 

 bbl,, I4.25, by freight.
