Eureka Extra Early Potato 
The Favorite Extra Early 
None More Quick to Mature 
More Proof Against Drought and Blight 
So Free from Second Growth 
As to its origin and history, the originator 
says of it: ‘Eureka Extra Early was a 
chance hill found growing in a field of 
Early Morn potatoes, season of 1895. In ji 
looking over the field a single plant was \ 
noticed distinct from the rest, which died 
while the others were still green. 
“Tt has never failed to produce a large 
crop of extra early potatoes. The plant is 
dwarf and compact, maturing in advance } 
of the Early Rose and Freeman. It never § 
has had the blight. The tubers are round, Q¥ 
slightly flattened. White skin, free from & 
disease. Flesh, white and mealy; no cores ¥ 
or black specks. Quality unsurpassed. iS 
“One point alone which makes it valu- 
able is that it has never taken second 
growth, and resists drought better than any 
other potato I have ever grown. North, 
South, Hast and West, Eureka the past 
summer came off with flying colors. I 
again advise early orders, for while my 
stock is large, the demand for Eureka is 
simply astonishing. Lhb., 40 cts.; 3 Ibs.,
