OLD GLORY. 
AN EXTRA EARLY 
SEEDLING POTATO 
OF THE ROSE TYPE 
POINTS OF MERIT. 
Size, Quality, Productiveness, Strong Grower, Free From Blight, Good Shape. 
HISTORY. 
When first brought to our notice ‘Old Glory'' was not fully developed in type as the crop 
showed a marked resemblance to both parents, Early Sunrise and Beauty of Hebron, from which the 
cross was obtained, in shape of tuber and other characteristics. - Three years of careful selecting has 
developed as fine a potato in every way as any one could wish for and a distinct type has become 
thoroughly fixed. 
DESCRIPTION. 
The tubers are long and w-ell proportioned, making a handsome appearance. Its skin is a light 
rose color all over the tuber. Flesh very white and of finest flavor ; cooks dry and mealy and fit for 
table use very early, as the quality is number one, even before the crop is fully matured. 
YIELD. 
In point of yield Old Glory will hold its own with all comers in the early or medium early class. 
Few equal, none excel. 
EQUAL TO 423 BUSHELS 
PER ACRE. 
For curiosity my wife and I weighed the Old 
Glory potatoes and measured the plot of ground 
and found one acre of land, at the same rate, 
would have grown us 423 bushels per acre.

Old Glory to the front as usual. Knocks 
out seven other varieties I grew in the same field. 
They yielded nearly a third more than the next 
best. E. ASHMAN. Lincoln Co., Md. 
Those potatoes, Old Glory, are just what 
the trucker wants here to catch the early market. 
In 6!) days from planting I dug several potatoes 
weighing nearly a pound.

You are sure to get a big southern trade in 
your Old Glory potato. The few tests here 
prove it to be well named. Have you anything 
in a White Potato as good.
