625 Bushels per Acre. 
'After repeated failures in trying to raise potatoes, I was in- 
duced to buy y z bushel of Rose of Erin, for which I paid $2. 50 
and I think it was the best investment I ever made. Last sea- 
son I planted five bushels of them on less than fid rods of 
ground and dug up 218 bushels. I cultivated them but twice. 
The ground has been in constant cultivation for 12 years and 
fertilized but once. These are the greatest yielders I ever saw; 
cook up dry and mealy and are very late keepers.

5 Bushels from 5 Pounds. 
•'The Rose of Erin beats anything we have ever tried in this 
section. Byron Hogmer raised 0 bushels of the nicest pota- 
toes I ever saw from fi pounds of seed, and A. Parker raised 4 
bushels from 5 pounds on the hardest clay ground. They are 
the stuff for clay. E. D. Morgan, Jefferson Co., N. Y. 
how Hr. Reay Got His Seed Free. 
‘!One man has raised 542 pounds of potatoes from 10 pounds 
of Rose of Erin seed. I took two prizes at our Richmond Co. 
show, one for varieties, the other for the five largest tubers. 
The prizes more than returned to me what I paid for the seed.

The Best I Ever Grew. 
“Four years ago I bought some of your Rose of Erin poto- 
toes. They are the best potato I ever grew and 1 have had 
eighteen years experience in farming. I have no interest in 
speaking of these potatoes as I am a stranger to- you, but not 
to the potato. Henry J. Holt, Hillsboro Co., N. H. 
One-Half Bushel from One Potato. 
“One of my customers bought 10 pounds of potatoes last 
spring and planted all in his garden but two potatoes, one of 
which was the Rose of Erin, and from that one potato he got 
one-half bushel. How is that for high ? 
Wm. Spencer, Wayne Co., O. 
15 Bushels from 15 Pounds. 
"The Rose of Erin was the best selling potato I sold. I took 
an order from Merrit Mosier for 15 pounds of Rose of Erin ; 
when I met him the other day he informed me that he raised 
from the 15 pounds, 15 bushels of very nice potatoes and he 
thought of taking some to our County Fair. 
W. D. Curtis, Wayne County, Pa. 
Finest For Eating. 
“Your Rose of Erin is giving great satisfaction in this part of 
the country. R. D. Heating says he never saw such large po- 
tatoes ; he sampled them for cooking purposes and says they 
are the finest kind of potatoes for eating and a great yielder. 
B. W. Vallen, Clinton Co.. Pa. 
180 Pounds from 3 Pounds. 
"I purchased from your agent here 3 pounds of Rose of Erin 
potatoes. When I was cutting them to plant, some of my 
neighbors took some of the pieces to plant; later on my family 
dug 14 hills to use before I knew it. From the balance 1 dug 
3 bushels of as fine potatoes as I ever saw; in quality perfect. 
I consider this the best dollar's worth 1 ever purchased. 
Enos Burgett, Pickaway Co., O.
