Northern Grown Potatoes — Continued 
EARLY BOVEE.— It is of 
the Hebron type and one of 
the earliest varieties grown. 
The tubers are oblong, have 
pink skin of handsome ap- 
pearance and of fine quality. 
It is a heavy producer; has 
a stocky, dwarf vine, the 
tubers growing compactly in 
the hill. 
PETOSKEY.-i- Is large, 
round and white, and seems 
adapted to a large range of 
soils. P e t o s k e y is very 
early, a vigorous grower and 
good yielder. 
WHITE S T A R.— L o n g. 
white in color, good keeper, 
good size and quality, me- 
dium late. 
PEERLESS. — A standard 
round white potato, medium 
late in maturing. 
EMPIRE STATE A good 
standard late Potato and one 
extensively used for late 
planting; good yielder and 
cooker; in color, white, 
somewhat like the Burbank, 
but larger. 
CHICAGO MARKET This 
Potato is said to be a seed- 
ling of the Rose. It is later, 
makes a heavier yield and 
is a splendid Potato for 
cooking and for keeping. 
The Potatoes are many to 
the hill and are large. In 
shape, rather oblong and flat. Color varies on differ- 
ent soils, from light pinknearly white, to rose color. 
In Central Kentucky this is one of the most popular 
main crop varieties. 
RURAL NEW YORKER NO. 2. — Well known now the 
country over, and very largely planted for profitable 
main crop. Rurals are now quoted in all the leading 
markets of the country along with Burbanks and other 
standard sorts, and usually they are quoted higher than 
Burbanks. They are certainly more profitable to raise. 
When Rural No. 2 first made its appearance as sent out 
in 1889 by the Rural New Yorker, it introduced an en- 
tirely distinct class of potatoes, unknown up to that time. 
The class is characterized by long, rather spindling 
vines, with dark colored stalks, dark green leaves and 
purple blossoms; tubers nearly round, flattened, with very 
Early Rose 
smooth, pure white skin, -uniform in size, quite numerous 
in the hill, always very attractive in appearance. 
BURBANK. — A standard Long White variety. An old 
standard main crop variety which is very popular because 
of market demand and heavy yields. Satisfies both the 
grower and the consumer. Tubers are large, oblong and 
have fairly deep eyes. Color white, quality excellent, 
cooking *very mealy and of attractive whiteness that 
pleases. It is the standard market potato in most of the 
potato growing districts and contends with Rural New 
Yorker for first place. 
CARMAN NO. 3. — This great Potato should be found 
in every list of the best varieties. It is a sort of an 
iron-clad, and holds its own and does well everywhere. 
It makes great yields of fine, large, smooth tubers (like 
the illustration) even under the most unfavorable cir- 
cumstances, and can be relied on to bring in money. 
Second Crop Seed 
These Potatoes, as the name implies, 
are made from the second planting. 
They can be planted in the Spring in 
the ordinary way or placed in cold 
storage until wanted for a second 
planting in July or August. It fre- 
quently happens when the first crop is 
a^ failure that by planting “Second 
Crops,” if the season is at all favor- 
able, that a larger yield may be secured 
than from the first crop. By some. 
Second Crop is preferred to Northern 
stock; we, however, recommend North- 
ern stock for first crop and the Second 
Crop for late. The following are the 
varieties of Second Crop most used: 
Triumphs, Cobblers, Early Hebron, 
Queen, Bovee, Thorburn, Puritan and 
Blush.
