$100. Excelsior Potato. $100. 
I have arranged with Mr. F. "W. Holbrook, of Hillsborough 
Co., N. II., to act as his Agent for tills new seedling potato. 
which be describes as "The most excellent of die excel- 
lent, tlie best table potato known, the most admired of any 
lor its superior cooking qualities, which it retains later in 
the season than any other variety. A good yi elder, surpass- 
ing many other new varieties. In short, no other potato ex- 
cels it, or ever has. in all that is warranted, for table use." 
This is prettv strong eulogy, but it conies so well backed up 
by such a number of good recommendations from well- 
known citizens that bave grown and used it. and the pota- 
toes 1 have examined are such white, handsome, well-shaped 
ones, and when cooked are so surpassingly excellent, so 
whlte> so dry, and bo well flavored, that I endorse it in full, 
and hereby offer. $1 .00 (here's a chance lor Jiresee's No. 4!) 
to any one who will send me, a new potato originated within 
the last ten year** that will surpass the Excelsior in quality, 
■a< a table potato b»r fall, spring, and summer use. The 
stock of the Excelnior being small, it will be sold in one, 
two. and four pound lots at the rate of £1.00 per pound. In 
my Potato Circular will be found a complete history, de- 
scription, and many strong recommendations ot this new 
pot tto.
