EXTRA EARLY YORK. 
THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR OF ITS INTRODUCTION 
The above photograph gives a good idea of the Size, Smoothness and 
very desirable shape. A New Variety. 
IT IS CLAIHED BY THE ORIGINATOR TO BE 
The Earliest Potato in Existence 
The great fault with very early varieties of potatoes is that they are generally 
light yielders. Everyone has been looking for a potato which was not only as early 
as the earliest, hut would yield as heavy as the latest. We have been testing nearly 
every variety of potato as soon as brought out in hopes of finding one w hich would 
fill the bill. We have been compelled to discard scores of them which came tons 
with the very highest recommendations, but which failed in either earliness or yield, 
but after a test of the EARLY YORK, extending over a period of three years, we 
are able to say that the long desired is found at last. While it is 
Earlier than the Early Ohio 
or Early Fortune, it has outyieldcd such well known late varieties as the Irish Daisy 
White Star and Reeves Rose. In fact, it is 
?SN ENORMOUS YIELDER. 
Adams Co , Ohio, June 30th, 1898. 
I have 9 varieties of early potatoes, all planted at the same 
time and in the same field, and the EARLY YORK is by far the 
best in the lot. I dug one hill to day, and found 6 potatoes which 
weighed 4 pounds, I believe they will yield at least 250 bushels 
per acre They are the kind to grow for early market.

From the one pound of Early York you sent me to test last 
year. I grew 87 pounds of the finest potatoes I ever saw, I planted 
them by the side of the Early Ohio and the Eirly York were at 
least a week the earliest. HARRY J. RANSOM.

I have just dug 4 % bushels of splendid potatoes from the 5 
pounds of EARLY YORK seed I bought of you last spring How 
is that for HI ? ' WM. S. HILL. 
Anderson Co., Ind., July 19, 1897. 
I have not been selling any farm seeds for 3’ou since early last 
spring, for the reason that I did not know but that you might be 
a fraud, and I wanted to satisfy myself as to your seeds I am now 
fully convinced that you are all right and your predictions are 
A No. 1. The seeds we purchased last spring have given the best 
of satisfaction. I am now ready to do business with my nearest 
neighbors. Send on your new supplies at once. VV. F. IRWIN.
