teher's intermediate between the parents; the flesh firm, yet floury, partaking more of the Hyatt’s flavour than Sharpe’s Uctor, which .t precedes in 
ripening Early Latton has a very short top, but produces in advance of all other varieties an enormous quantity of good, large, cven-smbd tubers 
which lift well together, rendering it the most useful early sort produced, both for the garden, border, frame, or early market work. 1 er peek, 4s. G d.

The General. This new variety is a very prolific, good, disease-resisting, and high quality handsome round potato, raised from the Scotch Champion 
crossed by the Magnum Bnmim. It possesses all the good qualities of both its parents, the haulm being vigorous and woody, but not lanky, enabling the 
plant to resist the disease equally with the Magnum Bonttm. It is also a great producer, the tubers, which are of the largest size, round sometimes slightly 
flattened, and with shallow eyes, are very handsome, and produced in immense clusters close round the stem, and although very numerous are even sized 
and with few chats, and the crop is more easily lifted than that of the Magnum, The colour of the skin and flesh of the tuber is clear white, and the 
quality excelleut, floury, yet firm, and superior to that of either parent. 
I.axtons say they loo upon this potato as likely to become a most useful and reliable favourite for main crop, winter, and spring consumption, 
suitable for field and garden culture, whilst its handsome form renders it one of the best round show potatoes yet produced. Price Is. per lb.

Victorious. — First Class Certificate at the Grand National Vegetable Conference at 
Chiswick, September, 1889, awarded for quality after being cooked and tried. A seedling from 
the White Skinned Beauty of lle.bron crossed with Myatt s Prolific As/deaJ, and combines the 
fine qualities of both, being in many respects intermediate between these two high quality and 
useful sorts. In shape it is a flattish oval, very large and handsome, eyes few and shallow, 
with a smooth surface, but Av hen fully ripe the skin is rough ; the flesh fit in yet floury, and of a 
light sulphur tinge, combining the good and nutritious quality of the Ashleaf with the more 
floury texture and the productiveness of the Beauty of Hebron. As an exhibition potato it is 
Al, and following the Ashleaf it will be welcomed as a first-rate all round sort for snccession 
both for garden and market culture ; haulm moderate. Per peck, 3s. (id.
