Breeze's Peerless or Boston. 



Early Rose. This is, without any doubt, 

 the best potato for the table. It is oval, very 

 shallow-eyed, pink skinned, very dry and 

 mealy when boiled. This variety 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. 



Breeze's Peerless or Boston. Several 

 years ago this variety was introduced, 

 yet at present it is the leading kind for 

 market as well as for family use. Skin 

 dull white, sometimes slightly russeted; 



Bliss Early Triumph or Improved Bermuda. 



eyes few and shallow, round, occasionally 

 oblong; grows to a large size; very productive, 

 and earlier than the Jackson White. It is a 

 general favorite in this section. 



Extra Early Vermont. Very similar to 

 the Early Rose, but of a stronger growth; a 

 little earlier, and the others are more uniform 

 and larger. It is an excellent table variety. 

 Beauty of Hebron. We have tried this 

 variety thoroughly and found it in every 

 particular as has been represented. It is 

 earlier than the Early Rose, which resembles 

 it very much, being a little lighter and more 

 russeted in color. It is 

 productive and of excel- 

 lent 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 .Peerless, it 

 produced fully one-third 

 more than that variety. 



Rural New Yorker No. 

 2. This potato is the 

 nearest to perfection of 

 any yet introduced, and 

 exceeds all others in yield. 

 It is of large size, very 

 smooth skin; few eyes, 

 distinct and shallow. Flesh 

 very white, of excellent 

 table quality. 



Early Ohio. This po- 

 tato is not exactly a nov- 

 elty, as it has been in 

 commerce for some years;
