f 
EARLY NORIMBR. 
Originated in northern Maine, on the farm of Mr. (?. W. P. Jcrrard, and first offered in 1892. The introdueers say : " It has had an unprecedented 
sale for two years, the stock of it not being sufficient to sni)|)ly the demand, and all late orders returned unfilled. Like the New Ouecn, the Karly 
Norther seems to prosper in every condition of soil and cHraate, and from every quarter customei-s write of its great productiveness, large size and 
handsome appearance. In shape, color and season of ripening, it closely resembles its parent (Early Rose), though it outyields that grand old sort 
two to one." 
N. G. Kilborn. Douglas Co., Minn., writes: "This has been a very poor season for potatoes, but nevertheless from the one barrel of Early 
Northers, 1 harvested one hundred and forty-seven bushels."
