EARLY PURITAN POTATO. 
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. Its disease-resisting powers are of great extent, which 
should be a recommendation to all growers 3 G 
Osborn’s Pride — Heavy cropper ; white skin and flesh 2 6 
M.P. — Good white round variety, crops well 3 6 
Duke of Albany — White kidney, cross between Beauty of Ilebron and Early Goodrich; as 
early as Myatt’s Ashleaf ; equal in size and cropping qualities as Magnum Bonum ; fine 
flavour, quality good ; excellent keeper and cooker 4 0 
Red Elephant, Improved — Similar in constitution, shape, and habit as tbe popular White 
Elephant, and like that variety a heavy cropper ; does well in sandy soil 3 G 
Victor— This is undoubtedly one of the earliest in cultivation ; very suitable for early crops, 
both in private and market gardens ; also for forcing. It is a flattened roundish oval in 
shape, eyes extremely shallow, clear skin, and a heavy cropper; superior in flavour, and 
dry and mealy when cooked 3 G 
Future Fame— A seedling of the Magnum Bonum type; a little earlier than tha^ variety, 
and a great disease resitter. It cooks white, dry, and mealy
