A Good Potato is "King of 

 the Roses," 



And I will deliver a whole flour barrel full of 

 them, f.o.b., Albion, N. Y.. for only $1.50. When 

 ordering state whether you prefer No. 1 (Mer- 

 chantable) or No. 2 ("hen's egg") size. Many 

 prefer No. 2 for planting. 



If you want the potatoes and prefer to ex- 

 change eggs in sets or other specimens, or any 

 of the books, as per my list of wants in Nat- 

 ub >l Science News of Feb. 29th, write me, 

 1 think we can arrange a "swap." 



One of the largest potato growers of 

 Western N. Y. speaks of the "King of the 

 Roses" as follows: "We thoroughly tested 

 this new seedling on many different" soils, and 

 found it to withstand sudden wide changes of 

 weather, excessive moisture and extreme 

 drouth, remarkably well. It produces much 

 heavier crops of fine, large, handsome tubers 

 of excellent quality, than any other of the 

 true Rose fain y 1 opening with Early Rose. 

 It is a strong, rapid grower, standing up well 

 during season of cultivation and when fully 

 developed the vines cover the ground almost 

 completely, and so protect it from the hot sun. 

 Tubers large, oval-oblong, light pink like Ear- 

 ly Rose." 



I have only a few barrels to spare, and the 

 above price and offer is for March only.
