THE FREEMAN. 
So much has been said and written ol" tlic Freeman that it hardly seems necessary to give a lengthy description here, or ([note fi-om the many 
hundred testimonials. It has been remarked by a prominent potato grower that this variet3- contains more new fresh blood than any variety since 
introduction of the Early Rose. Originated near St. Paul, this state. The tuber is oval in shape, russet in color covered with a netting; flesh very 
white, both when raw and cooked, extremely fine grained, and in flavor the ideal potato. The marked features of this potato are its extreme earli- 
ness and loii^ keeping (pialities. The originator states that thirty-nine days from planting he has had fully riiie potatoes on hi^ table and of good 
size. They ripen here in advance of both Early Rose and Early Ohio. Tubers have never been known to rot or rust and no hollow ones. 
Vine a fine grower, but not rank or scraggy. The Freeman is probably one of the most handsome potatos ever placed on the market. As high 
as one hundred and twenty pounds of good potatoes have been harvested from one jiound of seed jilanted. The Fi-eenian has not as yet been placetl 
on the market for consumption ])urposes, as stock has never yet been produced to supply the demand for seed. 
The first season it was sold at $3.00 per pound and tlie stock was ([uickly exhausted at this figure. We secured at enormous expense a large 
quantity of the true seed stock, and from our plantings of the same we will be able to supply our many thousand customers.
