POTATOES— Continued. 



tEE'S FAVORITE. This new potato is said to be a 

 week earlier than Beauty of Hebron, resembling the Early 

 Rose in shape, but with lighter skin. It has yielded over 

 four hundred bushels to the acre, and its qualitv is all that 

 can be desired. Peck, 65c.; bush., S2.00: bbl., S4.25. 



PEAKL OF SATOY. This new variety is a cross of 

 Clark's No. 1 and Extra Early Vermont. Quite as early as 

 the Early Rose: very productive and vigorous in growth. 

 The tubers are oblonq:, fair and of large size; the fiesh is 

 pearly white. Peck, 65c.: bush., S2.00; bbl., 84.25. 



PRIXCE EDWARD ISLAND EARLY ROSE. Our 



stock of this popular variety is imported direct from Prince 

 Edward Island, where we tind them in their original purity, 

 most of tlie stock of Early Rose now grown in the States 

 being mixed and inferior. Peck, 65c.; bush., S1.T5 ; bbl., S4.00. 



RURAL XEW YORKER, No. 2. This, the best 

 intermediate and main crop potato, originated on the 

 experimental grounds of the Rural yeiv Worker, where more 

 than rive hundred varieties have been tested practically dur- 

 ing the past twelve years. It is 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; the skin is 

 white as is the flesh, which is of superior qtiality. In matur- 

 ity the variety is intermediate, arfd its solidity and vigor are 

 .such that it has rotted less in very wet seasons than an.v of 

 the numerous .sort.s grown with it. We highly recommend 

 this valuable sort to all growers. Peck, 65c.; bush., SI. 75; 

 bbl.,S4.00. 



NEW LATE PURITAN. Identical with the Early 

 Puritan in color, appearance and qualitv, but later and more 

 productive. Peck, 6.5c.; bush., $2.00; bbl., S4.25. 



THE SUPERIOR, or COY'S SEEDLING, No. 88. A 



seedling of the White Star, which it strongly resembles. 

 Skin and flesh very white, excellent quality. They ripen 

 medium late. Peck, 6oc.; bush., SI. 75; bbl., S4.00,

SEED SWEET POTATOES. 



WE make a specialty of seed sweet potatoes, growinK 

 our stock exclusively in New Jersey, about nme miles 

 from our Philadelphia warehouse, where we have 

 unequalled facilities for handling and storing. We pack lor 

 shipment in boxes and barrels, with greatest care ; but as they 

 are ver.v suceptible to climatic changes, we cannot hold our- 

 selves responsible for their condition after long journeys of 

 several hundred miles. 



EXTRA EARLY CAROMNA — THE EARLIEST SWEET POTATO. 



SWEET POTATO-EXTRA EARLY CAROLINA.

 superior to all other varieties in earlines.s, productiveness 

 and quality. Of a bright yellow color, shape nearly round, 

 and shorter than the 6rdinar.v varieties. Will produce fine 

 edible tubers in ten weeks from planting slips. Owing to its 

 extreme earliness. it is better adapted to cultivation in the 

 Northern States than any other variety. Does well on ordi 

 narv soil, and is the best of keepers. Peck, 75c.: bush., S2.25 ;
