uniform and larger. It is an excel- 

 lent table variety. 



Beauty of Hebron. We have 

 tried this variety thoroughly and 

 iound it in every particular as has 

 been represented. It is earlier than 

 Early Rose*, which resembles it very 

 much, being a little lighter and more 

 russeted in color. It is productive 

 and of excellent table quality; more 

 mealy than the Early Rose. 



White Elephant. This variety 

 has again given entire satisfaction. 

 The tubers are large and of excellent 

 quality; planted alongside the Peer- 

 less it produced fully one-third more 

 than that variety. 



Rural New Yorker No. 2. OfQrecent 

 introduction. This potato is the nearest to 

 perfection of any yet introduced, and ex- 

 ceeds all others in yield. It is of large 

 size, very smooth skin; few eyes, distinct 

 and shallow. Flesh very white, of excel- 

 lent table quality 



Early Ohio. This Potato is not exactly 

 a_novelty, as it has been in commerce for 



about three yenrs. bir a* it is comparatively 

 little known in the South, and has proven 

 to be one of the best of the early varieties, 

 we think it worthy of some special mention, 

 and therefore add it to our list. The origi- 

 nator claims that it is a hardier and more 

 productive potato than the Triumph, and 

 from what we have seen we are fully con- 

 vinced that the claims are not exaggerated. 



Breeze's Peerless or Boston. 



The potato in appearance bears some re- 

 semblance to the Early Triumph, except 

 perhaps in color, which is a little lighter 

 than the latter, and the shape of the eyes 

 is somewhat different. Like all pink or 

 red varieties it does best in sandy soil, but 

 will grow very well in heavy soil, and not 



rot as easy during a wet season as do the 

 Early Rose or even the Triumph. 



Burbanks. Of the 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.
