 We are growers of Sweet Potatoes upon a large scale, and are in 

 consequence in a position to intelligently offer to our patrons the best 

 varieties that are grown. Last year in a field of ten acres we grew 

 a large number of varieties under exactly the same conditions and 

 carefully noted their behavior and j'ield. From this our exhibit at 

 the Americax Institute Fair, J^'ew York City, was made, and the 

 tubers were so fine as to gain for us the Medal of Excellence for 

 the best exhibit of Sweet Potatoes there -made. It is from these that 

 we now offer plants as quoted below. Our patrons will undoubtedly 

 perceive the advantage of ordering plants from such a source. 



Lovett*S Yellow. Of such remarkabh^ fine quality and immense 

 yield as to distinguish it from all others. The tubers are of short, 

 chunky shape, very uniform and even, of almost white skin: exceed- 

 ingly smooth and rich; yellow flesh, dry and sweet. Unsurpassed for 

 famih" use, and by reason of its superior quality, -beautj^ and great 

 yield it is profitable for market. Doz.. 35c; 100, 82.00; 1000. -SIO.OO. 



Lovett's Red. Very similar to the preceding in every way except 

 color of skin, which is of a brilliant pm'plish-red. The richest and 

 sweetest variety grown .sm'passing all others for table use. It is of 

 regular, uniformsize. thick and soUd. Doz., 35c; 100, 82.00; 1000, 810.00. 



Yellow Nansemond or Jersey. The well-knoAvn, popular variety grown 

 in large quantities throughout ISTew Jersey, Delaware, Marj'land, etc; 

 A trustworthy and reliable sort which has proved highly profitable for market. Doz., 10c; 100, 50e; 1000, 88.00 

 5000 or more, 82.50 per 1000. 



Chinese Thirty Days. A bunch variety remarkable 

 and valuable for its great earliness. as it matures from, 

 three to four weeks in advance of all other varieties. 

 Skin light yellow, flesh deep yellow, rich and sweet; 

 vine very productive, with abimdant foliage, at first 

 veined red, turning finally to deep green. Doz., 15c; 

 100, 81.00; 1000, 85.00. 



Vineless or Bunch. This is a variety of which we en- 

 tertained great hopes and while we do not wish to recall 

 anything we have said in its praise, experience has 

 proved it needs a longer season to mature than we have 

 at the North; hence it should be planted at points south 

 of Philadelphia only. The peculiarity of this variety 

 is that its vines, instead of running upon the ground, 

 grow in bush form. The tubers are large and smooth, 

 pale, rosy skin and yellow flesh, which is rich, sweet and 

 excellent. Doz., 15c; 100, 81.00; 1000. 85.00.

 five varieties. For ,$2.50 ice will express fifty of each.
