RURAL NEW YORKER No. 2. £™£ 



ous grower. A valuable variety of large size, 

 very smooth, a great cropper and of excellent 

 quality. The tubers grow extremely solid, 

 making a splendid keeper. 



Rural New Yorker No. 2 



EUREKA Extra Early. An extra early variety, producing 

 fine large tubers, as early or earlier than any other po- 

 tato in cultivation. The vines are dwarf and compact in 

 growth, with healthy dark green foliage which has never 

 shown any signs of blight. It is about three days earlier 

 than Burpee's Extra early, is an excellent keeper for so 

 early a potato. The firm, white flesh is of fine flavor when 

 ^ooked. 



EARLY ROSE. This pink-skinned variety is noted for earli- 

 ness, productiveness and fine quality. Shape long, good 

 size, cooks pure white and mealy. 



IRISH COBBLER, Extra Early Heavy Yielder. Is a grand 



early potato of medium large size, and in light soil, does 

 its best for earliness, in which it matures almost as early 

 as the smaller cropping Earlies. The demand for more 

 early potatoes makes a virtue of the necessity to plant 

 varieties that yield bigger crops than the Earlies which 

 yield small crops. Irish Cobbler, although not so fine 

 grained in flesh as some other sorts described here, yet 

 it is always a very popular seller. Its size, shape, good 

 quality and elegant appearance have given it a very wide 

 popularity and it usually secures~~a better price, side by 

 side with standard Earlies. To our customers who find it 

 necessary to cater to a growing demand for more Early 

 potatoes we commend this sort as a money-maker and 

 trade-winner-
