BOLEY'S NORTHERN SPY. 
Boley’s Northern Spy. — This is a very early and enormously productive sort. It is not 
ideal in form, having a rather uneven surface, owing to the eyes being deep. Flesh is as fine 
and white as can be desired. Color of skin very light pink, which is deeper about the eyes. 
Rather uncertain in its rot-resisting qualities. Where it is adapted it will give great satisfac- 
tion, but advise those who have not tried it to do so in small quantities at first. 
Queen of the Valley, and Faust’s 18S9, are varieties closely related to Northern Spy, and 
differ from it only in small details; the latter is a little darker colored, and the former is pio- 
nounced by some to be the same thing as the Northern Spy. 
Dandy. — A variety from Canada. Offspring of the Old Chenango. It is matchless while; 
surface quite smooth. It is long and somewhat flattened ; late. 
White Seedling. — A late variety, very closely resembling Monroe Co. Prize, illustrated on 
page 9. The skin is speclcel slightly. It is hard to see much difference between this and the 
M. C. Prize, yet I think is a distinct variety.
