the Early Rose, and they cook mealy ,'and are of exceU

 jrield a good crop on light, sandy ground, where the 

 Early Rose would be an entire failure. 



Triunn|3h. 



Triumph. — One of the most beautiful potatoes on 

 our list. Vines two feet high, erect, and ^-ell covered 

 with their large leaves. Tubers round, and of uniform 

 medium size ; eyes slightly depressed. Color a beauti- 

 ful light red. This variety combines the productiveness 

 and quality of its par- :.: - .: hr P^ ■ r> =3£nd the Early Rose. 



Trophy. 



Trophy. — A medium early variety, with strong, erect 

 vmes, and thiclc leaves. Tubers medium size, regular, 

 elongated oval ; eyes ver>' few, almost flat upon the 

 surface ; very productive, a good keeper, and matures 

 about two weeks later than the Early Rose. Skin rus- 

 seted, reddish flesh fine grained, white, and of excel- 

 lent quality baked or boiled. Received a first class cer- 

 tificate at the London Potato Show, last autumn. 



Early Rose. — This was the first of Mr. Breese's 

 seedlings, offered in the spring of 1868, and has now be- 

 come the standard variety for earliness, quality and 

 productiveness. 



Extra Early Vermont.— Similar in color, form and 

 general appearance to the Early Rose. It is, however.

mttch more hardy, a bette.'- keeper, more productive, of 

 better quality, and from a week to ten days earlier, and 

 is rapidly taking the place of that popular variety. In 

 many places where the Early Rose has failed to produce 

 a crop, this variety has gh-en the most satisfactory le- 

 tnms. A first class certificate was awarded to this vari- 

 ety in 1873, by the Royal Horticultural Society of Lon- 

 don. 



Early Snowflake. 



Early Snowflake. — This variety ripens about a 

 week later than the Early Rose ; shape symmetrical 

 and uniform ; size medium ; skin white, with mssety 

 tinge ; flesh fine grain, snow white when cooked, and of 

 a lightness and porosity almost approaching a snow flake. 

 Its mealiness, pure, delicate flavor, and the evenness 

 with which it cooks through, have never been excelled 

 by any potato. It received a stiver medal at the Mass- 

 achusetts Horticultural Society, and always wins a pri2e 

 wherever it is exhibited- 



Magnum Bonum. — This variety is remarkable for 

 combining earliness, large size, freedom from disease 

 and great productiveness, but needs peculiar treatment 

 to get the best results. The seed diould be cut in sin- 

 gle eyes and then planted ten or twelve inches apart in 

 drills three feet apart Each eye will throw up a single 

 stalk, producing from four to six large tubers. They 

 are white, nearly round, with a few eyes of a pinkish 

 color. Baked cr boiled they are white as snow and very 

 mealy. This is quite distinct from, and very much su- 

 perior to, the English variety called Sutton's Magnum 

 Bonum. 



Mammoth Pearl. — Vines very lar^e and strong- 

 growing, so that in many cases they outstrip the bugs 

 and produce a crop in spite of them. The tubers, which 

 ripen in Augiist. are large, oblong, usually a little ftat- 

 tended, very smooth and uniform. Eyes even with the 

 surface. Skin very white. Flesh as white as that of 

 any variety and ccx>ks as white as snow to the very 

 center. We think that any one who tries this variety 

 will be convinced that the highest quality may be com- 

 bined with the largest size. 



Burbanks Seedling.— A white-skinned, medium 

 early variety, a seedling of the Early Rose , of fine form 

 and good proportions ; it has few eyes, which arc but
