Ohio, Early. See Earty Ouro. 
Ohio Junior. Originated by James Vick, Rochester, N. Y., who says: ‘‘This new 
potato originated with us in 1881, and although a chance seedling it is without 
doubt in some way related to that good old sort, the Early Ohio.” L. L. Olds 
says: ‘‘Itis the only seedling thus far of the old favorite Early Ohio.” Introduced 
by Vick in 1887. 
Description.—Season extra early. Almost identical with the Early Ohio in 
form and marking of the tubers, habit of growth, etc. Tubers oval-oblong, round 
at the seed end; eyes full, shallow. References: Vick’s Floral Guide, 1887, p. 
164; 1889, p. 93; L.-L. Olds’s seed catalogue, 1891, p. 4. 
Note.—It is not quite clear to the writer what Vick means by ‘‘chanceseedling.”’ 
Moreover, the writer has not yet learned where Olds gets his authority for the 
statement, ‘‘It is the first and only instance where the ‘Ohio’ has been repro- 
duced from seed.’’
