Cannell & Sons’ Complete Seed Guide. 
*Early Puritan. — The earliest pure, white-skinned Kidney 
Potato in cuitivation. Like most of the American kinds, 
when first introduced the Earlji Puritan is a prodigious 
cropper ; hut it is unlike most of the other varieties from 
that country, in that we shail not be obliged to grow it 
several seasons before it loses its waxy nature and 
becomes fit for tabie use, as its cooking qualities are at 
present almost equal to a good many of our first-class 
table varieties 
^Snowdrop — Very handsome, productive, and disease 
resister. Good quality 
Victor — 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 : haulm very dwarf 
"White Beauty of Hebron— A good early variety; 
splendid flavour 
Wilson’s Ashtop Kidney— This is an old variety, comes 
in much earlier than the iWyatf’s or White Beauties. 
Heavier cropper, and resists the disease very much 
better; hauim dwarfer than the Myatt's. Where early 
potatoes are needed to come in quick it should be grown. 
Good sort for forcing
