[EARLY MAINES | 900 BUSHELS wie ACRES / 
EARLY MAINE.—As stated in the illustration has yieldeuon a large 
seale 500 bushels per acre. One grower after planting them says: ‘Would 
rather pay extra for Early Maine than take Barly Rose fora gift.” This appears to 
be the general opinion of all who have planted them. Tbey are not only smooth- 
er, more productive and of better quality than the Rose, but also several days ear- 
lier. Peck, $1.00; bushel, $2.50; barrel, $5.00. 
EARLY SUNRISE.—Has produced potatoes fit for the table eight weeks 
from time of planting. Tubers are large, uniform and handsome, flesh white, 
fine grained and dry, cooking remarkably well when first dug. For years 
has given the best of satisfaction to my friends. Peck, $1; bu., $2.50; bbl, $5. 
EARLY OHIO.—Is so well known as to need hardly any description, 
Itis one of the very best early potatoes, and above all, is always fit for use 
before fully ripe. Many growers consider it, and justiy too, the most profit- || 
able market variety. My stock is extra carefully grown and selected, the 
result of 20 years work by one of the most noted potato growers in America, 
I can recommend it to all desiring the true Ohio. I can ship Ohios from 
Green Bay, Wis., by the bbl. as well as from Phila. Pk, $1; bu., $2.25; bbl. ,$4.50 
BEAUTY OF HEBRON.—My stock of this popular variety is grown 
for me by the best grower I know of in the State of New York, who has se- 
lected his seed stock carefully for a dozen years or more, and considers that 
now he has it about perfect. Peck, $1.00; bushel, $2.25; barrel, $4.50. 
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND ROSE.—This is claimed to be the 
purest stock of the Early Rose in America. Grown as it is in the maritime 
province, and consequently coming from so far North, is of unusual vi- z NL 
tality and very choice. Peck, $1.00; bushel, $2.50; barrel, $5.00. ==> an SS = ae e 
ROSE’S BEAUTY OF BEAUTIES.—This seedling is from the Peachblow. On one-eighth of an acre they have yielded 1254 bushels, or at the 
rate of 1004 bushels per acre. Shape, beautiful oval-oblong to round; skin, russeted white; eyes, shallow; flesh, white, fine grain; cooks evenly 
through, dry and mealy, not falling to waste. Vines grow strong, fast and vigorous. Tubers from 1 to2l1bs. each. One of the very best varieties 
introduced in many years. I unquestionably consider it one of the 
best and most productive late potatoes I know of. In com petitive 
trials, both on my trial grounds and elsewhere, it has frequently 
yielded one-third more than the Rural New Yorker, which is saying a 
great deal. Peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.00; barrel, $6.00. 
RURAL NEW YORKER NO. 2.—Originated on the experi- 
mental grounds of the Rural New Yorker; is quite distinct in appear- 
ance; flesh, white; quality, excellent; Shape, nearly round, some- i 
what flattened. Tubers, large to very large, but not rough or irregu- 
lar; eyes, quite small; general form symmetrical. It is very strong 
and vigorous in growth, and an enormous yielder. Has been planted 
largely by many growers the last two or three years to their entire sat- 
isfaction, and after Beauty of Beauties I consider it one of the best 
late varieties. Peck, $1.00; bushel, $2.50; barrel, $4.75. y 
Z also have a few of the Rural New Yorker No., 2, in Colorado, which Ass 
J can put on board cars at Greeley, at $3.50 per 110-pound sack. 
EARLY ROSE.—This stock of Early Rose is grown for me by the Hs 
same grower who grows my Beauty of Hebron. He has been selecting | 
it, together with the Hebron for years, and I assure my friends that it |P 
is particularly choice. Peck, $1.00; bushel, $2.25; barrel, $4.50. 
THE VAUGHAN POTATO.—Mr. E. L. Coy, the originator of this 
potato, has this to say concerning it: ‘This is an inbred seedling of 
the grandold Peerless. It inherits its parent’s vigorous constitution. 
Inform resembles the Beauty of Hebron, but is a little more elongated. 
Skin is a beautiful flesh color; flesh very white and of delicate, rich 
flavor. Ripens with the Puritan, and like it, tubers when half grown 
are fine and dry for table use.” Peck, $1.00; bu., $2.50; bbl., $4.75. 
NANSEMOND SWEET.—The celebrated Philadelphia sweet po- 
tato; universally grown for the Philadelphia and New York mar- 
kets. Peck, $1.00; bushel, $2.50; barrel, $5.00.

=a E 7 THE POTENTATE POTATO. — In describing y 
| Fl ND this magnificent variety, I cannot do better than repeat ,, 
yy what I said of itin last year’s catalogue. For the last | 
K7 three years, on my trips through New York State, in- § 
MM specting my seed crops, a large grower of seed potatoes 5| 
HAAN has always called my attention to a potato he called the € 
| Potentate, as being particularly fine and worthy of a E 
good notice in my Seed Catalogue. Out ofsome 30 or 40 & 
sorts, embracing all the new varieties, as well as the a 
good old standbyes, he, as well as his entire family, has a 
used it in preference to all others, for their own table. = 
Even as late as July or lst of August, the Potentate from re 
\ the year before, cooked better and was preferred to =| 
many of the early potatoes that were then ready for use. j.) 
| Krom this, its two particular strong points—good keep- 
ing and good eating qualities—can readily be seen. Po- \ 
|tentate originated in the State of Iowa, and matures | 
about the same time as Magnum Bonum. The tubers 3 
are uniformly of a good size, and grow closely together 
in the hill. Pound, 30 cts;3 pounds, 75 cts., postpaid. 4 
By express or freight, purchaser paying charges, peck, » 
$1.25; bushel, $3.00; barrel, $6.00.

POT TO SEED I have a quantity of very choice po- 
Al » tato seed from the flower-ball (the 
true seed), which I am pleased to offer to my customers re 
who would try to raisea new kind of potato. Growing 
new sorts from the seed-ball seed is a very interesting © 
employment for old or young. There is the widest 
range of difference in color, shape, and general charac- 
teristics between the different seedlings; every one is 
more or less unlike every other. The tubers rarely grow | 
to be more than a half-inch in diameter’ the first year, 7

but the second, they get to be quite respectable potatoes, 
so that we may judge pretty nearly of their value, * 
though they do not get out for all they are worth until @ 
the third year. Plant in fairly rich soil when it is time *' 
to plant Indian corn; keep clear of weeds, and give them & 
good cultivation. Packet, 25 cents. >
