THE " EARLY ROSE n POTATO. 
OKIGINAL STOCK. 
(THE ABOVE CUT IS A FAIR REPRESENTATION OF THIS SUPERIOR VARIETY.) 
This Celebrated Potato lias proved in every respect, a decided success, and although "but a short time has elapsed since its 
Introduction, it already rantoa as 
THE VERY BEST EARLY POTATO KNOWN TO CULTIVATORS, 
The good qualities which recommend it to the Public, are: 
1st.— It is from 10 days to two weeks earlier than any other potato. 
2d.— It is of larger average size than any other Early Potato. 
Zd.—It is in tabic quality and delicacy of.flaror, without an equal. 
ith.—It is in productiveness the most astonishing variety ever offered to the public, and the reports of the yield from 
single pounds, the present season, are marvelous. 
"We give below a few reports (from parties who purchased Beed of us the past spring,) which show in what estimation 
this popular variety is held. 
From GEO. K. EDWARDS, Southampton, Mass. 
*' From the 1 pound of ' Early Rose' obtained of you last spring, I dug 95 Pounds of as large and handsome Potatoes 
as I ever saw." 
From THOS. C. ANDREWS, Moorcstou ». X. J. 
"I had ' Earlv Rose' weighimr half a pound in seven weeks from planting. One of my friends planted 5 pounds and dug 
Eight Bushels.' (At the rate of 9ti lbs. from one.) 
From X. RIC/IART, Espy, Columbia Co., Pa. 
" I bought of you last spring One Pound of * Karlv Rose, 1 which I planted May 6th, and dug August 6th. After drying 
four days. 1 weighed them, and had 101 Pound* uf the finest potatoes I ever raised, several of them weighing over one 
pound each." 
From WBf. X. WARNER, Watervliet Centre, X. T. 
"I have just dm: inv ' Karlv Rose,' raised from one pound obtained from von last spring, and have 107 lbs. We have 
had a very unfavorable season, it having been unusually dry. I am confident I can raise 200 lbs. from one of seed." 
From SA3TL 8. HERSE, York, Pa. 
"Last spring I purchased from yon 5 pounds of ' Earlv Rose ' Potatoes, and have just. dug the crop raised from them. I 
have Nine Hush eh and one. /xr/',' many vi I lie tubers weighing over a pound. Can vou beat this?" (This is at the rate of 
111 Pounds from 1 of seed.) 
From J. W. BRIGGS. Postmaster at West Macedon, N. T. 
" The ' Early Rose * Potatoes I bought of vou last spring, prove to t.e earlier than any other variety I have in cultivation, 
aud the yield from it is wonderful. The ir 4 pounds averaged 107 Pounds from each pound of seed." 
From "The Eluria {Ohio) Democrat," August 19th, 1868. 
"RARE POTATOES.— Mr. H. D. Mills, of Ridgevill(\ raised this season 300 Pounds of potatoes of the new 'Early 
Rose' variety from one pound of seed. They were very large and solid." 
Wc might fill a good sized volume with similar testimonials, but deem the above sufficient to convince the Public as to its 
vast superiority over all other varieties. 
The "Early Rose" s]>okeu of in tiiese reports were cut into single eyes, and In most Cases planted in rows 3 feet apart, 
and 12 to 15 inches apart in the row. By this mode, a barrel will plant nearly an acre. We would urge upon parties living 
at the South or West, the importance of buying their seed this Fall, as in most localities they will wish to plant before "we 
can ship without danger of freezing. 
The following prices have been fixed up*on for this Fall, and arc so low as to bring them within the reach of all.
