NEW EXTRA EARLY POTATO, PRIDE OF THE SOUTH. 



This is a •white sport of the Bliss' Triumph, first found a few 3-ears ago in a large field of that 

 popular variety. The t3-pe 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 produces more bushels to the acre than 

 any other first earh- 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 season among prominent planters in many of the Southern and INIiddle States, w'ho all 

 agree in pronouncing it the most profitable potato ihey have ever grown, bringing from 50 cents to $1.00 

 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, ^i.oo, by mail, post-paid. Peck, 75c.; bush., 

 $2.00 ; barrel, $4.50. by freight. E^.t\y ThofOUghBred

The handsome appearance of 

 this valuable new potato is well 

 shown in our photograph alongside. 

 It was introduced last year by a 

 brother seedsman, to whom we paid 

 $25. GO per barrel for our seed stock, 

 and from which we have grown a 

 magnificent crop. We offer them 

 at a very reasonable price for so 

 valuable a new variety. We do not 

 find them as early as Pride of the 

 South, but in every other respect 

 they are fully equal, and there will 

 no doubt be a demand for seed, in 

 1898, for all the Early Thorough- 

 breds that are grown in 1897. 

 Prices : per lb., 40c.; 3 lbs., fi.oo ; 

 50 strong eyes, f i.oo, by mail, post- 

 paid. Peck, 8oc.; bush., $2.25;
