Description. 
The above cut made from nature is a good representation of this potato. The 
eyes are Hush with the surface, making one of the handsomest appearing potatoes 
possible, and will command several cents per bushel more in the market than the average potato, owing 
to the evenness of the tubers. Matures medium early, and will greatly outyield what are termed 
‘ ■ extra early ” sorts. 
Quality. 
A point always to be considered is the quality, and our GUNSON’S EARLY will please 
the most particular. You could not get a potato of finer flavor, and will boil or bake, 
and turn out like a ball of snow. Where land is known to give large yields^ of poor quality, planters 
should use this variety entirely and overcome the difficulty. Tested on all sorts of land, this seedling 
has proven to be of first quality, 
Yjplfl Yet this variety has not been grown on large areas ; but wherever tests have been made 
* results have been unusually flattering. Small plots show the following yields — Ohio, 435 
bushels per acre ; Northern Michigan, 485 bushels per acre ; Iowa. 565 bushels per acre ; North 
Dakota, 800 bushels per acre. Reports from other states were given in pounds, and showed an increase 
of from 90 to 1 50 pounds from one pound planted. This potato sets heavily, and its tubers will be 
almost all of

THEY TAKE THE CAKE. 
The Gunson's Early take the cake. From the outlook 
now, they knock other varieties away in the shade. Would 
like you to have a photograph of my little patch, and show 
them to people who come in. Some of the ladies want one or 
two, just to let them cut out one eye to plant.

am after one of your prizes, sure. Please advise me on what 
day you wish report, as I lost your circular.

FINEST OF POTATOES. 
Judging from appearances at present, the Gunson's Early 
is the best potato ever grown here. Some “prize money’’ 
is spoken for right enough.

They are beauties. If we can grow such potatoes here, ship- 
pers will pay us a bonus on such stock.
