The Crown Jewel Potato. 



We have been growing this valuable new potato for five years, and feel we cannot say too much in its 

 praise, as every claim we have made for it has been fully substantiated. It is a seedling of the Early 

 Ohio. The seed-balls were found in a large field of that well-known variety, and it partakes of all the pure 

 and unadulterated qualities of its excellent parent, without any admixture of baser blood. Grown in com- 

 petition with the Early Ohio, Karly Rose and Sunrise, it more than doubled the yield of any of 

 them ; under precisely the same conditions, they were ready to dig ten days earlier. The Crown Jewel 

 is a strikingly beautiful potato, the shape is well depicted in our illustration, skin is white and smooth, eyes 

 shallow but strong, flesh pure white and floury, cooking evenly throu,ghout. The vines grow vigorously, 

 the roots extend very deeply into the soil, thus resisting drought, and its keeping qualities are eqnal to the 

 best. Si;e testimonials, page 5H, Jolinson&Stokex' Garden and Farm Manual/or ISSO. Peck, 65c.; bush., $2,00;
