T HE great fault with very early varieties of potatoes is that they are gen- 
erally light yielders. Everyone has been looking for a potato which 
was not only as early as the earliest, but would yield as heavy as the 
latest. We have been testing nearly every variety of potato as soon as 
brought out, in the hopes of finding one which would fill the bill. We 
have been compelled to discard scores of them which came to us 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 outyielded such well-known late varieties as the 
Irish Daisy, White Star and Reeves Rose. In fact it is 
AN ENORMOUS YIELDER. 
1 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 (i potatoes 
which weighed t pounds. I believe they will yield at least 250 
bushels per acre. They are the kind to grow for early market. 
JAS. D. WILSON, Adams Co., Ohio. 
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 
EARLY Y'ORK was at least a week the earliest. 
HARRY J. RANSOM, Blue Earth Co., Minn. 
I have just dug 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, Androscoggin Co., Maine. 
I have not been selling any farm seeds for you 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 sup- 
plies at once. W. F. IRWIN, Anderson Co., Ind.
