It has not exceeded the quantity of tubers shown, but it is 
a staying favourite when well grown and the greatest 
cropper in existence. Even if the crop is half diseased, it 
is then equal to the Beauty of Hebron, which it resembles 
in eating and other qualities. In a dry, hot season it 
would be by far the most preferable Potato in cultivation ; 
ready to dig very early 0 2 0 
* Cannells “Victory.” — This put on any gentleman’s 
table, properly cooked, would so attract the attention and 
taste of everyone that it would have to be grown in every 
garden. In every respect it is, in our opinion, the best 
early Potato yet sent out, am} for exhibition a model. It 
is certainly the best for private gardens 8 0 2 6

•Early Puritan. — The earliest pure, white-skinned Kidney 
Potato in cultivation. Like most of the American kinds, 
when first introduced the Early Puritan is a prodigious 
cropper ; but it is unlike most of the other varieties from 
that country, in that we shall not be obliged to grow it 
several seasons before it loses its waxy nature and 
becomes fit for table use, as its cooking qualities are at 
present almost equal to a good many of our first-class 
table varieties... ... ... ... ... ... ... 5 0 2 0
