N INTRODUCING the Irish Daisy to my customers for the first time last year, I stated in «] 

 doing so I gave them a fit companion for the Freeman. "With the Freeman for early, and Irish 7 

 Daisy for late, my friends have the two best varieties known to the American potato I 

 planter to=day. During the last three or four years, owing to the great success I had in intro- 3 

 ducing the Freeman Potato, I do not believe any one in America has received so many new po- %\ 

 tatoes for trial, or been offered so many new potatoes by potato growers from all sections of the 

 country. I of course tried all the different samples ; but until I secured the Irish Daisy I could « 

 find nothing that anywheres near approached the Freeman. As stated in last year's catalogue, in g 

 securing the Irish Daisy, I am satisfied that at last I have obtained the greatest of all late j| 

 potatoes. The Irish Daisy is a seedling of the Empire State, possessing all the strong qualities s 

 of its parent ; is not quite so large in size, but perfect in form. Eyes shallow, and pure bright straw 0! 

 color, on sandy land shading down to a brilliant white. The Irish Daisy, put out and grown by a, 

 trusty growers on gravelly land, heavy soil and sandy loam, alongside of all other heavy yielding a 

 late potatoes, has outyielded them in every instance. Vines are stocky in growth, a dark, rank 

 green, and seem to stand dry weather better than any other late variety. They have never £ 

 blighted yet, therefore might safely be guaranteed to be blight-proof. The growth in the hill is 3 

 a marked peculiarity of this potato. We dug in the Fall of '93 one hill containing 27 merchant- J 1 

 able potatoes, with a net weight of over 15 pounds, from two eyes of seed planted. With com- ~| 

 mon field culture on ordinary sandy loam, they yielded at the rate of a bushel from live hills for I 

 the entire field. They ripen with Rural New Yorker No. 2, White Star and Monroe Seedling, 2 

 AND WILL OUTYIELD ANY ONE OF THESE THREE VARIETIES TWO TO ONE. 1 

 For eating purposes the quality is par excellence, the finest of any late potato on the market. For gj 

 a potato to sell from the wagon or by market gardeners, or grocers direct to customers, they will jg 

 outsell every other variety, owing to their attractive form, shape and pure white coloring. As §J 

 stated before, with the Freeman for early, and Irish Daisy for late, my customers will have the ^ 

 two most perfect potatoes known to-day. 2 

 Owing to the wonderful record made by the Irish Daisy last season, a record that has never § 

 been equaled before by any other variety, I understand a large number of dealers propose offer- s 

 ing the Irish Daisy this year, who have never had any stock in any way, shape or form from me f\ 

 either this year or last, consequently I would caution every one to be very careful from U'hom they pur- j- 

 chase. My prices for this year are most reasonable, especially when it is considered that this is 31 

 only the second year of its introduction, and I do not think that any one will offer the bogus 2 

 stock at much less than my figures for the genuine article.
