GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 



Bliss Early Triumph 

 or Improved Bermuda. 



One of the best early 

 potatoes, combining the 

 productiveness of the 

 Peerless with the ex- 

 cellent qualities of 

 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 de- 

 pressed and color of a 

 beautiful light red and 

 is a standard variety. 



Green Mountain. 

 This potato is of great 

 merit; oval in shape, 

 white skin and white 

 flesh; one of the largest 

 yielders; of fine keep- 

 ing qualities, very dry 

 and delicious flavor. We 

 recommend it highly. 



Extra Early Vermont, 

 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. 



Carman No. 1. This most valuable 

 potato was introduced in 1894, and it is 

 now a recognized high-class sort the 

 world over. It is in every respect the 

 finest second-early potato ever offered; 

 enormous yielder; handsome and uni- 

 formly large; peculiarly white skin and 

 flesh; perfect in quality and very dry. 



Bliss Early 

 Very similar to 



^ 



Triumph or Improved Bermuda. 



Early 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 va- 

 rieties it does best in sandy soil, but will 

 grow very well in heavy soil, and not rot 

 as easy during a wet season. 



Burbanks. Of late sorts this is more 

 largely used than any other. It is of good 

 size, fine form, and an excellent yielder. 

 The flesh is white, and is very mealy and 

 of fine flavor. 



Extra Early Vermont. 



Adams' Extra Early Corn, as a garden corn, should be first choice.
