EARLY HARVEST. 
Originated in Penobscot Co., Maine. The introducer describes it as follows: "It is wonderfully early, earlier than any other potato grown, 
which unprecedented feature, coupled with large yield, superb quality and fine appearance, make it a most valuable sort for first early marketing, or 
home use. The tubers average very large size, are nearly white, with eyes only slightly indented, skin often netted, as shown in cut; shape oval, flat- 
tened, sometimes long oval; quality best." 
Joseph Gilbert, Middlesex Co., Mass., states that he harvested from six pounds of seed planted, nineteen bushels of extra large and exceedingly 
handsome potatoes. A. Brandon, of Madison Co., N. Y., says he dug " 257 pounds of mammoth potatoes," from the two pounds of seed planted. 
This is our first season with it, but we believe it to be a grand potato.
