Pringle's Hybridized Potato Seed. 



The extraordinary success which has attended Mr. Pringlo in his attempts to improve 

 this valuable esculent — which has resulted in the production of the Snowflake and 

 Alpha, and last, though not least, the Iluby — has encouraged him to still greater eflorts 

 in his favorite pursuit of hybridization; and we have now the pleasure of otlering a very 

 choice strain of seed saved bv him, which is the product of numerous hybridizations, 

 variously operated, with everv'care during the past favorable season, between many of the 

 best new and old varieties in cultivation, both English and American, and includes every 

 strain which Mr. l'ringle will himself sow the coming spring. 



In order to encourage the cultivators of seedlings in this country, as well as in I'.uro- 

 pean countries, where the importation of the potato is prohibited for fear of the Colorado 

 beetle, he has decided to offer his seed for sale, that all who desire may have an oppor- 

 tunity of giving it a trial, with the absolute certainty of producing varieties sure to equal, 

 if not to excel, anv hitherto offered. In order to prevent imposition, the seed will be put 

 up in sealed packets, with the facsimile of our signature upon each packet. 



Packets containing 25 seeds, 60 cents each; 5 packets, $2.00. 



Directions for Sowing Potato Seed. — Sow under glass in very gentle heat, 

 about the 1st of April; secure partial shade from the full sunlight; if the plants begin to 

 crowd, transplant to give them ample room; when danger from frost is over, set them in 

 the open ground, giving them the full space usually allowed to potatoes. With this treat- 

 ment, they will, with good attention, attain to full size and maturity the first year. 



X. 15. — Orders for potatoes received in the winter will be forwarded as early in the 

 spring as the weather will permit, usually about the 1st of April. They can be forwarded 

 earlier if lesired, at the risk of the purchaser.

 mental plants, or in any place where freedom from 

 weeds is desired. It removes the weeds with far 

 greater rapidity than in the usual manner, without 

 injuring the plants, or soiling the hands, and is in all 

 respects one of the best instruments ever offered for thi
