FIRST EARLY VARIETIES.

DANIELS’ DURE OF YORK. This grand variety still holds its own as one of the best heavy-cropping Earlies 
in cultivation. In habit of growth, it is very compact, the haulm being only a foot high. The leaves are smooth and of a 
rich glossy green colour, whilst the tubers cluster compactly round the stem, and are very easy to raise. The tubers are 
large, oval, smooth and handsome, and distinct in appearance, the eyes are few and quite even with the surface, ensuring a 
minimum of waste ; the flesh is dry and mealy when cooked, and of the most excellent flavour. (See illustration, opposite 
page.) Per 14 lb. 2s. 6d. ; 56 lb. 8s. 6d. ; cwt. 15s. 
A POTATO CENSUS. 
Reprinted from THE GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE. 
“We now present a list of the most popular early and mid-season varieties of Potatoes. These details have 
been furnished us, in reply to our enquiries, by our correspondents in alt parts of Great Britain and Ireland. 
It must be borne in mind that the votes have been given by cultivators in no way commercially interested in 
the Potato. Whatover differences there may bo in individual opinions and in other circumstances, the vory large 
proportion of votes cost for a few varieties shows quite clearly the high opinion generally entertained as to their merits. 
In the list of early varieties, Duko of York ( distributed by Messrs. Daniels Bros, of Norwich, in 1893), heads tho list 
with 78 votes and this variety is followed by Sharpe’s Victor with 01 votes.” 
DANIELS’ DEFIANCE ASHLEAF. This variety has now been several years before the public and still 
holds its place as one of the best of the first earlies, and in most seasons it can be lifted before the disease makes its 
appearance. It is one of the heaviest cropping varieties of this class, producing a full crop of good sized tubers of first- 
class table quality, having the exceptional flavour found only in the best Ashleaf sorts. (See illustration, opposite page.)
