J. STECKEER SEED CO., I/fD., ALMANAC AND 



Bxtra Karly Vermont. Very similar 

 to the Early Rose, but of a stronger growth; 

 a little earlier, and the tubers 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 resem- 

 bles 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 Peerless, it produced fully

Rural Blush. Second early, tubers 

 roundish flattened, blush skin, flesh slight- 



ed with pink. Very dry and of excellent 

 quality. A heavy yielder and good keeper. 



Rural New Yorker No. z. Of recent 

 introduction. This potato is the nearest to

 ceeds all others in yield. It is of large size, 

 very smooth skin; few eyes, distinct and 

 shallow. Flesh very white cf excellent 

 table quality.

 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 originator claims that it is a hardier 

 and more productive potato than the Tri- 

 umph, and from what we have seen we are 

 fully convinced that the claims are not ex- 

 aggerated. The potato in appearance bears 

 some resemblance to the Early Triumph, 

 except perhaps in color, which is a little
