 oblong, slightly flattened. Pk. 50 cts., bus. $1.80, bbl. S5.30. 



Early White Albino. This wonderful new early Potato is a good 

 cropper. The skin and flesh are extremely white, of exceptionally 

 good cooking quality and very prolific; fully as early as the old Early- 

 Rose in maturing, and particularly valuable for the early market 

 by reason of its fine shape and early maturity. It is one of the best 

 early varieties to withstand blight and disease. Plant early in good 

 soil, give it good cultivation, and pleasing results are sure at harvest 

 time. Pk. 75 cts., bus. S2.25, bbl. S6. 



Snow (White). Sometimes called Poor Man's Friend. Itis of hand- 

 some shape and most desirable for the best trade. It is a vigorous 

 grower, ripens uniformly, is a good keeper and is fast becoming one 

 of the most popular medium-late Potatoes. The vines are very 

 heavy, the seed being especially vigorous, and tubers always good 

 size where soil is well tilled. Pk. 75 cts., bus. S2.25, bbl. $6. 



Green Mountain, Jr. New White Seedling. It is practically 

 thoroughbred or pure-bred. It has all the good qualities of Green 

 Mountain, and in general appearance is the same, except it is a trifle 

 whiter in color and the skin is more netted. It grows round to oblong 

 somewhat flattened; eyes shallow. The sprouts in spring are white and 

 stubby and do not grow very long. Soon after the stalks appear 

 above the surface they branch very much, the broad, dark green 

 leaves lying close to and completely covering the ground, which will 

 kill weeds and grass. It will make a vigorous, rapid growth, set a 

 large number in the hill and mature to the best marketable size a few 

 days earlier than its parent. Pk. 70 cts., bus. $2, bbl. S5.90. 



Norcross. Pure white. Seed-ball grown on 

 the old Early Rose pollenized with Beauty of 

 Hebron. Late maturing, somewhat blocky in 

 shape, smooth surface, very excellent table qual- 

 ity, cooking dry and mealy. Grows a thrifty, 

 upright top, with large leaves, and is above the 

 average of the white kinds to withstand blight. 

 Pk. 70 cts., bus. $2, bbl. $5.90. 



Rural New Yorker. Midseason; large; 

 heavy yielder. Pk. 50 cts., bus. SI. 80, bbl. $5.30.
