Vermont Early Rose. 



JACKSON WHITE.— An old variety 

 known to Louisiana for many years. It 

 produces large tubers of excellent qual- 

 ity; long: in shape and similar in ap- 

 pearance to the White Elephant, but a 

 little larg-er; sound white flesh and a 

 good keeper, also a good yielder. We 

 strongly recommend this for family use 

 and market purposes. 



VERMONT EARLY ROSE. — This is 

 without doubt the best potato for the table. 

 It is oval, very shallow-eyed, pink skinned, 

 very dry and mealy when boiled. This va- 

 riety should not be planted too soon, from 

 the fact that they make small stalks, and 

 if cut down by frost they suffer more than 

 other varieties, but they want rich light 

 soil to grow to perfection. 



EARZiT OHIO. — Bears some resemblance 

 to the Early Triumph, except perhaps in 

 color, which is a little lighter than the 

 latter, and the shape of the eyes is some- 

 what different. Like all pink or red vari- 

 eties it does best in sandy soil, but will 

 grow very well in heavy soil and not rot 

 as easy during a wet season. 



BREEZE'S PEERLESS OR BOSTON. — 

 Several years ago this variety was intro- 

 duced, yet at present it is the leading kind 

 for market as well as for family use. Skin 



Early Ohio. 



dull white, sometimes slightly russeted; 

 eyes few and shallow, round, occasionally 

 oblong; grows to a large size; very pro- 

 ductive, and earlier than the Jackson 

 White. It is a general favorite in this sec- 

 tion. 



WHITE STAR. — A very handsome and 

 productive variety of medium tarliness; 

 tubers oblong, large and uniform in size; 

 vines strong, of a dark green color, stocky 

 and vigorous; skin and fl^sh white and of 

 fine quality; an excellent table variety, and 

 keeps well. 



BEAUTY OP HEBRON. — We have tried 

 this variety thoroughly and found it in 

 every particular as has been represented. 

 It is earlier and more mealy than the Ver- 

 mont Early Rose, which resembles it very 

 much, being a little lighter and more rus- 

 seted in color. It is productive and of ex- 

 cellent table quality. 



Extra Early Vermont. 



EXTRA EARLY VERMONT. — Very similar to the Vermont Early Rose, but of a 

 stronger growth, a little earlier, and the tubers are more uniform and larger. It is an 

 excellent table variety.
