best early potatoes,

GREEN MOUNTAIN. 
This potato is of great 
merit; oval in shape, 
white skin and white 
flesh; one of the largest 
yielders; of fine keeping 
qualities; very dry and 
delicious flavor. We 
recommend it highly. 
WHITE ELEPHANT.

flavor, wonderfully pro- 
ductive; of great beauty and a fine keeper. 
Tubers large and solid, growing closely to-

known to Louisiana for many years. It 
produces large tubers of excellent quali- 
ty; long in shape and similar in appearance 
to the White Elephant, but a little larger; 
sound white flesh and a good keeper, also 
a good yielder. We strongly recommend 
this for family use and market purposes.

in shape and size. Flesh white and excel- 
lent, skin cream with buff and white net-

fine quality; an excellent table variety, and 
keeps well. 
RUBAL NEW YORKER No. 2.—This Po- 
tato is the nearest to perfection of any yet 
introduced, and exceeds all others in yield.

eyes, distinct and _ shallow. Flesh very 
white, of excellent table quality.

largely used than any other. It is of good 
size, fine form, and an excellent yielder.

Vermont Early Rose. 
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
