THE IMPROVED DELAWARE 
A VALUABLE POTATO 
It is seldom we find such a combination of size- 
yield and quality in any Potato. A professor in one 
of our agricultvual colleges recently told us that he 
dug a carpetbagful from a single hiU, and a day or 
two after a farmer stopped me to say that it was the 
finest eating Potato that he knew of. It is a medium 
early; in size it is large, being above the average; 
skin and flesh are white; in yield it is a remarkable 
cropper, while in quality it is imsurpassed. It is 
one of the few varieties that do well on all kinds of 
soil. There is no Potato that has stood so many 
yea.rs and given such tmiversal satisfaction among 
our customers. Per peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.00 (post 
paid, lb.. 25 cts.; 5 lbs.. 90 cts.).
