NEW LATE POTATO-THE IRISH DAISY, 



III tins new main-crop Potato, which we have given 

 a place in our Catalogue for the first time this season, 

 we believe we have the most productive potato ever 

 oflfered to the American public. It is a seedling of 

 Empire State, originated in the great potato district of 

 Northern New York, has been thoroughly tested by 

 some of the largest growers there, and has in everj' 

 instance outyielded t'wo to one such good varie- 

 ties 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 an}- other late potato and are 

 absolutely blight-proof. With the Penn Manor, 

 described on preceding page, for early, and the Irish 

 Daisy for late, you will be sure of having the tAvo best 

 potatoes in cultivation. Ha\H[ng procured a good 

 supph' of seed direct from headquarters we are able to 

 offer it at a very low price for such a valuable new and 

 distinct variety that is certain to become the leading 

 potato. Prices : lb., 40c.; 3 lbs., $r.oo, by mail, post- 

 paid. Peck, $1.00; bush., f3.oo; barrel, |6 00, by 

 freight or express. 



Potato Eyes by Mail. 



For $1.00 we will send, all postage paid, 50 good 

 strong eyes of either Penn Manor or Irish Daisy 

 Potatoes, or for $1.75, 100 eyes, 50 of each variety, 

 separate and carefullj^ labeled and packed in damp 

 moss. These eyes will produce as good crops as if 

 the whole tubers were planted.
