GOLD SKIN. — This is a beautiful yellow 

 potato, usually growing very chunky. It has a 

 peculiarity of being almost a golden yellow 

 inside. Many describe it as being all heart and 

 it does so appear. The quality of this variety 

 is very fine, one of the finest grown in this 

 section, and is becoming to be very highly 

 prized. 



CEDARVILLE. — This variety is similar in 

 many respects to the Yellow Nansemond : it is 

 said to be an improvement on that variety. I 

 grew it the past season for the first time, and 

 can say that it made an excellent yield of fine 

 potatoes. I should have no hesitancy in plant- 

 ing it. 



RED NOSE. — This is one of the best mar- 

 ket varieties; yields heavily and is of good 

 quality; bright yellow with tinted red tips, 

 which shows only when freshly dug. Sprouts 

 only. 



SOUTHERN QUEEN.— This variety is 

 white and of very fine quality. It belongs to 

 the yam family. Many prefer it to any other 

 variety for the home table. It does not sell 

 in market as well as some others, but for my 

 own eating I prefer it to any of the other 

 varieties. Sprouts only.

FARM SEEDS. 



CRIMSON OR SCARLET CLOVER.— A 



well-known and favorite winter crop and soil enricher, 

 affording excellent early foliage. Seed should be sown 

 in August or September. Use seed at the rate of 15 

 to 25 pounds per acre, depending upon the soil — the 

 thinner the soil the more seed should be used. It 

 grows all winter when the ground is not frozen. It is 

 very beautiful when in bloom and valuable for soiling 

 purposes, for pasture or hay, and the roots add materi- 

 ally to the fertility of the soil. My seed are the very 

 finest that can be produced, and I shall be pleased to
