troducing the Freeman Potato, I do not believe any one in America has received so § 
many new potatoes for trial, or been offered so many new potatoes by potato growers in 9 
every section of the country. Every one who has had a new potato seems anxious to sell it to 
me. I have of course tried all the various samples, but until I secured the Irish Daisy, I could 
find nothing that anywheres near approached the Freeman. I flatter myself, however, that at 
last I have obtained the greatest of all late potatoes, and a fit companion in every way to the Free- 
man. There is no question but what the Irish Daisy will win, in the next few years, many 
friends in thousands of homes scattered throughout the length and breadth of our country. The, 
Irish Daisy is a seedling of the Empire State, possessing all the strong qualities of its parent; is * 
not quite so large in size, but perfect in form. Shallow eyes, and skin, pure bright straw color; 3 
on sandy land shading down to a brilliant white, The Irish Daisy last year put out and grown 3 
by trusty growers on gravelly land, heavy soils and sandy loam, alongside of all other heavy $ 
yielding late potatoes, has outyielded them in every instance. Vines are stocky in growth, 
a dark rank green, and seem to stand dry weather better than any other late variety. They have‘ 
never blighted yet, and therefore might be safely guaranteed blight-proof. The growth in the F 
hill is a marked peculiarity of this potato, setting as they do 8 to 30 potatoes in a hill. We dugg 
one hill last autumn containing 27 merchantable potatoes, with a net weight of over 15 pounds, 3 
from two eyes of seeds planted. With common field culture on ordinary sandy loam, they yielded 
at the rate of a bushel from five hills for the entire field. As to date of ripening, they ripen § 
with Rural New Yorker No. 2, White Star and Monroe Seedling, and will outyield every va=, 
riety mentioned two to one. For eating purposes, the quality is par excellence, the finest of $

any late potato on the market. For a potato to sell from the wagon, or by market gardeners 3° 
or grocers direct to customers, they will outsell every other variety, owing to their attractive 
shape, form and pure white coloring. With the Freeman for early, and Irish Daisy for late, you 
will have the two most perfect potatoes known to-day. Now a few words in regard to the price. 4 
All who followed my advice and planted largely of the Freeman have made money, and lots of 
it. I make the same prediction in regard to the Irish Daisy. I have control of the entire stock, 
and shall only sell, this the first year of its introduction, 800 bushels. First come, first served. 
The first year I offered Freeman I gave it one page in my catalogue. I do the same with Irish 
Daisy. Further comment is unnecessary.

Prices of Irish Daisy for 94: peck, $2.50; bushel, $7.50, barrel, $15.00; 2 bbls, $25.00; 10 bbis., $100.00. 
S ecial Note In connection with this description of the Irish Daisy, I would like to mention just two instances in relation to two of rg 
p ° my customers who got aboard early onthe Freeman. In 1891, four pounds was the most I would sell to one customer. g 
One of my customers, who purchased 4 pounds and paid me §8.00 for same, planted the entire product he raised from these in 1892; he planted the ¢ 
product from these in 1893, and last Fall sold over $6,000 worth of Freemans as a result of his experiment. The other instance is the case of one 4 
of my customers, who early in January, 1892, in fact, the day after he received my catalogue, sent me $100 for 10 barrels. Last spring he sold the = 
product of these 10 barrels for $3,300. A word to the wise is sufficient. The demand for the Irish Daisy next spring will undoubtedly far exceed # 
the supply, and I can truly say I think I am giving all my friends a chance to duplicate the money-making success they had with the Freemans. >
