good qualities of all the varieties in cultivation 
and stands today without a rival in the Potato 
Kingdom. Has been thoroughly tested in all 
sections. It is the handsomest variety we have 
ever seen, and hundreds of good pototo judges 
bear us out in this statement. It is extremely 
early. Planted May 10th. good large iKitatoes 
were dug July 2«th, 70 days from time of plant- 
ing. Will produce ,'iOO bushels per acre, with- 
stands drought to a remarkable degree, keeps 
well. In shape it is oblong— nearly straight, well 
set with eyes all over. The skin is of most 
curious formation for a potato, being very closely 
netted and veined like the Rocky Ford melon. It is rather thick and does 
not bruise easily, thus enabling it to withstand shipping exceeding well, as 
it will reach destination in prime condition and appearance. Lb. 25c, pk. 
60c, bu. $2.00, bbl. (2 3-4 bu.) $5.00.
