FAUST'S VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



49 



We have catalogued those varieties only which, from thorough tests, have proven themselves to be the best for general cul- 

 tivation, and worthy of the utmost confidence. Our seed stocks, in all instances, are grown as far North as practicable, and 

 many of them in the celebrated potato growing districts of Maine. Our potato cellars are now stored with the various varie- 

 ties we catalogue, all in excellent condition for shipping in season. Orders received will at once be acknowledged, and the 

 potatoes shipped when the weather permits, in season for early spring planting. 



It is of the utmost importance that your seed should come from a cooler climate, if you would have a good crop of potatoes. 

 The change of soil is likewise advantageous.

 charge for bags, boxes, barrels or cartage. Special Prices will be quoted by letter in case of changes. 



EARLY ROSE. This variety is too well known to need 

 any lengthy description, but it is of the utmost importance to 

 the planter that the seed should be pure and true, and not 

 the poor mixture that is oftentimes sold for this favorite 

 variety. Our seed stocks are procured directly from Prince 

 Edward Island and Maine, and will be found particularly early 

 and productive. Per peck, 50 cts,; bash., $1.00; bbl., $2.50.

New Potato 



The Irish Daisy. 



This new variety is the most productive potato ever 

 offered. It is a seedling of the Empii'e State and has all 

 the good points of its parent ; somewhat smaller in size, 

 but of perfect form. It has been thoroughly tested by 

 some of our largest growers and found to ripen with 

 Rural New Yorker No. 2 and White Star, and will out- 

 yield either of these varieties two to one. The vines 

 are stocky in growth, of a dark green, and stand dry 

 weather better than any other late variety. Their aver- 

 age yield with common field culture is over a bushel for 

 the entire field. We have secured a. fine stock of choice 

 seed for our customers, and will fill all orders at the fol- 

 lowing low prices as long as stock lasts. Prices by mail,
