POTATOES. 
FIRST EARLY VARIETIES. 
DUKE OF YORK. Reduced from a Photograph. 
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. (Originally raised 
by us and sent out in 1893. ) Scotch grown Seed. Per 14 lb. 7s. 6d. ; 56 lb. 27s.

We pay carriage on a Potato Order when, either by itself or including 
other seeds, it amounts to 40/- and upwards. In the case of smaller 
orders we have, according to Railway regulations, to pay carriage in 
advance on all passenger parcels, and we therefore append a table giving 
Buch approximate charges, which amount should be added when remitting 
to the price quoted for the potatoes.
