IRISH QUEEN. 
A new seedling, six years old, from the seed ball— Wall Orange, fertilized with pollen of Ohio Junior. The entire stock controlled by ourselves. 
Originaied in Manitowoc County, Wis., by one of the most successful potato specialists in the country. We take much pride in the ownership of this 
valuable acquisition, and recommend it without hesitation for extensive planting to our many customers throughout the entire country. It is bound 
to become a main croj) jiotato, possessing, as it does, all the desirable qualities for such a sort: enormous viclder; handsome apiiearance for market 
purposes; and the cooking f|uality, none better. 
Here is what the originator says of it, his statement being duly sworn to before a notary : 
" It is a creamy white body, splashed with a bronze color (indicating magnificent cooking quality), has shallow but expressive eyes, handsomely 
surrounded by distinct eyebrows; as a table potato it cannot be reeomnicndc'cl too highly; pure white flesh and very starchy. It was the foremost 
as a cropper in 1893, and out of 64 sorts planted, it exceeded them all, yielding at the rate of 480 bushels to the acre. I have tried this .seedling on 
all the different soils. It is late as Burbank; vines grow stocky, with dark, broad, glossy leaves; when growing, it presents a strikingly handsome 
field of remarkably even, upright tops." We ui-gc every potato grower to plant a sufficient quantity of this seed this Spring so as to bring him seed 
for a good planting for main crop the season following. 
We make the price lower than we should for this season, as we are desirous of giving all a chance to start a good seed stock.
