* NEW * E/IRLT - rURIT/IN * FOTflTO * 



This new^ variety originated with Mr. E. L. Coy, of Washington County, N. Y., originator of the well-known and popular 

 early B«>aiity of Hebron. Mr. Coy says his Early Puritan far excels the Beauty of Hebron in productiveness and quality, 

 w^hich indeed is saying a great deal in its favor. The skin and flesh is very white, it cooks dry and mealy, even when half 

 grown. It ripens with the Early Rose, greatly exceeds it in productiveness, the vines grow strong, fast and vigorous, 

 standing up firm as a tree. Lb., 30c.; 4 lbs., Sl.OO, post-paid. Peck, 75c.; bush., $2.00 ; bbl., $4.50. 



NEW SEEbLINQ FOTflTO-RUR/IL NEW YORKER N2 2. 



This potato, offered for the first time last season, originated on the experimental grounds of Tlie Rural Neiv-Yorker, where 

 more than five hundred varieties have been tested practically during the past twelve years. It has been tried there and else- 

 ■where for several years with much care, and critically watched by its experienced originator for the development of weak 

 points, any of which would have caused it to be promptly discarded. So far it may well lay claim to being very nearly a 

 perfect potato. 



The "Rural New-Yorker No. 2" is a potato of most distinct appearance and could readily be distinguished among a 

 hundred others. It is very large and unusually smooth, with few and shallow eyes; in form it is oblong, inclining to round, 

 as shown in our Illustration above, made from a photograph ; the skin is white, as is the fle.=h, which is of superior quality. 

 In maturity the variety is intermediate, and its solidity and vigor are such that it has rotted less in very wet seasons than 

 any of the numerous sorts grown with it. The vines are heavy and strong and the yield of handsome tubers of great 

 uniformity of size is unu^uallv large— less than ten per cent, of the potatoes dug have been of unmarketable size. 



A "WONDEKFDI. PKODUCT. The " Contest Experiment Plot " on the Sural grounds was dug on September 28, 1888, in 

 thepresenceof a committee of five distinguished agriculturists, who make a sworn statement that the yield of the Rural No. 2 

 was at the rate of 1076 bushels to theaere. Per lb., 40e.; 3 lbs., $1.00, post-paid ; peck, 90o.; bush., $2.75 ; bbl., $6.00, by freight 

 or express. 



THE SUPEKIOR, or COT'S SEEDLING No. 88. A 



seedling of the White Star, which it strongly resembles. 

 Skin and flesh very white, of excellent quality. They grow 

 vigorously and ripen medium late. Peck, 6oc.; bush., $1.75 ; 

 bbl.,S4.00". 



CHAS. DO^WNING. An extra early variety, with beau- 

 tifully netted skin, flesh white and excellent in quality. In 

 growing it, however, we do not find it adapted to light soil. 

 Peck, 65c.; bush., $1.75; bbl., $4.00. 



GARFIELD. A seedling of the Eariy Vermont hybrid- 

 ized witli the E.?celsior. Flesh white and mealy, very pro- 

 ductive and a strong grower ; a superior market varietv. 

 Peck, e.5c.; bush., $1.75 ; bbl., $3.7.5. 



MAMMOTH PEAKL. This medium early variety is 

 very smooth and uniform, eyes even with the surface, skin 

 white ; for the table it cooks like a ball of flour, and as white 

 as snow, evenly to the centre. The vines grow fast and 

 strong and yield well. Peck, 60c.; bush., $1.50; bbl., $3.50. 



MORNINGSTAK. Apromisingnewvariety. Although 

 a i3ure-bred seedling of the Beauty of Hebron, it bears little 

 resemblance to that variety. Color pure white, form oval to 

 oblong, eyes even with the surface, quality excellent; the 

 vines make a strong and vigorous growth; somewhat later 

 than the Late Beauty of Hebron. Peck, 65c.; bush., $1.75;
