One of my neighbors to whom Isold 10 pounds ot the Early \ork potatoes planted them beside 
mother early variety, both being planted at the same time, and you can tell the Early York as tar as you 
::an sec them. They are far and away ahead of the others. Jesse II. c pom'ORD. 
Seed of this variety i$ very limited 
and will be for several years to come. Do 
not fail to try at least a small amount this 
ir and grow your own seed. Failure to do so is sure to result in personal loss. This being the second year ot 
its introduction wc have only a limited amount of seed to offer. As soon as that is sold we shall close sales on 
this variety. Be sure to place your order early so as to insure its acceptance.

The Early York potato growing from your seed has the finest looking tops I ever saw. T pulled up one 
hill to show a neighbor and found 11 sale potatoes, which weighed 4 1-2 pounds. He ottered me $3.00 pet 
bushel for all I can spare. I would not take $50.00 for my crop from the $3.00 worth of seed.

The great drouth we have had here killed all the early potatoes in this section except the early \ork 
of which you will remember I sold a large quantity last spring. They are looking splendid, they grow so 
rank and vigorous they scarcely mind the drouth at all. The farmers who have them will make big money 
out of their seed. I know I can sell lots of them this year. Vincent K. Brown.
