ARRAN CHIEF. A distinct new Main Crop variety of Scotch origin. The tubers, which cluster compactly round the

whilst its handsome shape will make it a fine addition to the exhibition table. During the past season it has produced over 
17 tons per acre under ordinary cultivation, with hardly any diseased tubers. Per lb. 6d. ; 7 lb. 3s. 6d. ; 14 lb. 5s.
