I grow all my seed potatoes, and take special care to have 
them true to name, and to keep the different varieties free from 
any mixture. They are mostly grown on muck land, which 
makes them more desirable for planting on ordinary garden lands. 
Potato growers appreciate the importance of changing their seed 
from one soil to another. I believe my stock will be found first 
class in every respect. After repeated trials I have discarded 
many varieties which I .have found inferior either in yield or 
quality. Of those retained, some have more good points than 
others, but all are valuable varieties. 
I have made several trials of the extra early potatoes to test 
their comparative earliness and yield. In point of earliness, the 
Early Ohio was the first to grow to a good marketable size ; the 
Early Sunrise second, and Lee's Favorite third. In point of yield 
when fully mature, the Early Maine, Lee's Favorite and Early 
Sunrise gave the largest yield in the order named. The Early 
Ohio, Boston Market and Early Vermont gave a good yield, but 
not so large as the first three. If a potato is wanted to grow for 
the early market, the Early Ohio acd Early Sunrise should be 
planted ; but if a large vielcl is of more importance than extreme 
earliness, the Early Maine and Lee's Eavorite should be selected* 
As to the table quality of the early potatoes, all are good ; but the 
Early Ohio and Early Sunrise are superior, dry, white and floury. 
Of the late potatoes the James Vick is still our favorite table 
potatoe. It yields large crops of handsome potatoes and in qual- 
ity it has no superior among the new potatoes. The Empire State 
is highly esteemed. The Monroe Co. Prize yields enormous crops 
and bids fair to surpass both in size and great yield the White 
Elephant, which is, with many growers the favorite market po- 
tato. The red skinned potatoes, like the Dakota Ped, seem to be 
proof against blight and rot in bad seasons, when other varieties 
fail. 
First, with every barrel of potatoes ordered, I will send gratis 
one pound of any other variety desired, provided it is requested 
in the order. Second, to give all a chance to try the new varie- 
ties, I will send by mail or express, prepaid, one pound each of 
any three varieties on my list, for 90 cents, or one pound each of 
any five varieties for $1.00, when sent at the expense of the pur- 
chaser. Each variety will be correctly labeled. 
Orders will be booked when received, and the potatoes will be 
shipped as soon as it can be done without danger of their freezing. 
Potatoes by the pound will be sent by mail or express, prepaid. 
By the peck, bushel and barrel, they will be sent by express or as 
freight, at the expense of the purchaser. Two or more varieties 
will be packed in the same barrel, when desired.
