 potatoes are fit for use before fully ripe. Many growers con- 

 sider it the most profitable early market variety.

 of good quality ; eyes are strong, well developed, and but 

 slightly indented. The flesh is white and of fine flavor.

 it is the leading early sort in almost all sections. The stock we
