"Rose in December and another in February, and those planted in February come to the market 

 first; it depends entirely upon the season. If late frosts set in, early planted Potatoes will 

 be cut down, and those just coming out of the ground will not be hurt. Up to now the 

 Peerless is the standard variety. Among the new kinds tried here we find the White Ele- 

 phant to be a fine potato. It is a very strong grower, tubers oblong, very productive, good 

 quality and flavor. The extra Early Vermont, Beauty of Hebron, Bliss Early Triumph or 

 Improved Bermuda and Early Rose for early, and Boston Peerless, White Elephant and 

 Rural New Yorker No. 2, for late, are as good varieties as exist, and it is not likely that we 

 will have anything better by new introductions. Most people are not careful enough irs 

 selecting their seeds. Some of the potatoes sold in this market for seed are not fit for 

 planting. 



B!lss Early Triumph or Improved 

 Bermuda. One of the best of all early 

 potatoes, combining the productiveness of 

 the Peerless, with the excellent qualities 

 of the Early Rose. It is more prolific than 

 the former, and much earlier than the 

 latter. Tubers are medium in size, round 

 and very uniform in shape; eyes slightly 

 depressed and color of a beautiful light 

 red and is a standard varietv. 



Early Rose.
