Early White Albino 



Early Ohio Potatoes 



cropper. The skin and flesh are extremely white, of exceptionally 

 good cooking quality and very prolific; fully as early as the old Early 

 Rose in maturing and particularly valuable for the early market by 

 reason of its fine shape and early maturity. The vines grow erect 

 and it is one of the best early varieties to withstand blight and 

 disease. Plant early in good soil and give it good cultivation and 

 pleasing results are sure at harvest time. Pk. 90 cts., bus. S3. 



Snow (White). Sometimes called Poor Man's Friend. On ac- 

 count of the large yields that have been reported of this potato it is 

 rightly entitled to be called the "Poor Man's Friend." It is of hand- 

 some shape and most desirable for the best trade. It is a vigorous 

 grower, ripens uniformly, is a good keeper and is fast becoming one 

 of the most popular medium - late varieties. The vines are very 

 heavy, the seed being especially vigorous and tubers always good 

 size where soil is well tilled. Pk. 90 cts., bus. S3. 



Green Mountain, Jr. New White Seedling. Originated by W. 

 E. Johnson in 1905. An imbred Green Mountain; seed boll grown 

 on Green Mountain and pollenized with Green Mountain. It is 

 practically thorough-bred or pure-bred. It has all the parent's good 

 qualities and in general appearance is the same, except it is a trifle 

 whiter in color and the skin is more netted. It grows round to oblong, 

 somewhat flattened ; eyes shallow. The sprouts in spring are white and 

 stubby and do not grow very long. Soon 

 after the stalks appear above the surface they 

 branch very much, the bread, dark green 

 leaves lying close to and completely covering 

 the ground, which will kill weeds and grass 

 and have a tendency to hold moisture. It will 

 make a vigorous, rapid growth, set a large 

 number in the hill and mature to the best 

 marketable size a few days earlier than its 

 parent. Pk. 90 cts., bus. S3. 



Norcross. Pure White. Originated in 1895. 

 Seed boll grown on the old Early Rose pollenized 

 with Beauty of Hebron. Late-maturing, some- 

 what blocky in shape, smooth surface, very ex- 

 cellent table quality, cooking dry and mealy. 

 Grows a thrifty, upright top, with large leaves, 

 and is above the average of the white kinds to 

 withstand blight. Pk. 90 cts., bus. S3.
