POTATO-WHITE STAR. 



The White Star has now been before the public several years, and has fully verified all of 

 our claims for it. In season it is medium. It is one of the CiREATEST producers known. The 

 tubers are large, oblong, of uniform size and very showy. In quality one of the finest, being 

 equally good for boiling or baking. Of very strong and vigorous habit, possessing the quality of 

 great adaptability to different soils, and succeeding where other varieties fail. By far the best 

 potato to raise for the market, as it combines great yield with superior quality. 



We had not thought to publish any White Star Potato testimonials this year, having sold it 

 so widely that its merits are well known, but just before going to press we are in receipt of a 

 letter from Mr. H. W. Stearns, of St. Lawrence Co., N. Y., of sufficient interest to warrant the 

 publication of a portion of it at least. He writes under date of Dec. yth, 1883 : 



I mail you this day one White Star tuber which 1 raised, crop 0/1882, with the request that you will bake and 

 eat it. I ate one with my Thanksgiving dinner, and considered it better than most varieties of this year's raising. 

 I have still several other tubers of crop of 1882, in good condition. These potatoes have had no special care, other 

 than breaking off the sprouts occasionally, and have been kept in an open box in an ordinary cellar. This year I 

 planted White Stars on three separate fields, and they miemged 425 bushels per acre.
