 smooth. Eyes few and small, nearly even with the surface; shape oval, somewhat flat- 

 tened; skin reddish, or a deep flesh color; flesh white, fine-grained, and very delicate. 

 For the table, they cook either by baking or boiling equal to the very best, flavor unex- 

 ceptionable. Vine of medium growth; foliage deep green. The tubers grow compactly 

 in the hill, and are easily dug, ripening in about three months from the timo of planting, 

 though suitable for cooking about two weeks later than the Early Rose. A first class

Extra Early Vermont. (Woodhouse.) — Similar in color, form, and general 

 appearance to the Early Hose. It is, however, much more hardy, — a better keeper, more 

 productive, of better quality, and from a week to ten days earlier, — and is rapidly Inking 

 the place of that popular variety. In many places where the Early Rose has failed to pro- 

 duce a crop, this variety has given the most satisfactory returns. A first-class certificate 

 was awarded to this variety in 1873 by the Royal Horticultural Society of London.

Compton's Surprise* — Remarkablo for its size, quality, and productiveness. Its 

 shape is oval-oblong, eyes sunken, brow prominent, skin smooth, color reddish-purple, flesh 

 white; grows to a large size, and is invariably sound to tho centre. It retains its quality 

 perfectly throughout tho year, appearing on the table like a ball of flour. Remaining 

 plump and free from sprouts when kept till June, and never having that wilted appearance 

 common to early sorts. Thousands have testified that they never cat a better potato. Its 

 uniform mealiness of grain, combined with the purest flavor, and its snowy whiteness of 

 flesh, which is not in the least alfected by its blue skin, cannot fail to make it highly 

 valuable. 



One pound, 60 cents; 3 pounds, $1.25 by mail, prepaid. By express or freight, charges 

 paid by the purchaser, 1 peck, $1.00; i bushel, $1.50; 1 bushel, $2.25; 1 barrel, $5.00.
