 POTATO. 



TENNESSEE SWEET POTATO. 



— Grows to medium size, pear shaped, 

 a little ribbed, color creamy white, 

 sometimes lightly striped with green. 

 Flesh thick, creamy white; remarkably 

 flne grained, dry and brittle, and of 

 most excellent flavor. Hardy, very pro- 

 ductive, and keeps perfectly sound until 

 late in the spring. It speedily becomes 

 a general favorite wherever it has been 

 introduced. When cooked it has some- 

 what the appearance of sweet potatoes, 

 but of more delicious taste. Pkt., 5 cts.; 

 oz., 10 cts.; '4 lb., m cts.; lb., $1.00. 



QUAKER PIE This comes from 



Washington Co., N. Y. It is both hardy 

 and productive, and can be depended on 

 to make a crop when others fail. Es- 

 pecially valuable for pies, being fine 

 grained and of rich flavor, having nona 

 of the stringy nature common to so 

 many varieties. It is early and keeps 

 late, oval shaped, tapering at each end, 

 of a cream color both inside and out.

 variety. Is wonderfully prolific, s"ix to eight

 Tennessee Sweet Potato. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.
