NORTH HADLEY, MASS. 
Monroe Co., Prize.— There is sucli a 
liability of overdoing the matter in 
praising any potato that I am as cautious 
as possible in this respect in speaking of 
any variety. A purchaser prefers to be 
agreeably disappointed than to have high 
hopes and expectations over a new pota- 
to, thinking perhaps that he is surely go- 
ing to glut the market, and to his sorrow 
is miserably disappointed. 
But this variety has shown itself so 
worthy under my own eyes for three 
years and is so universally praised on 
every hand that I am inclined to put it 
at the head of my list for a general crop 
variety. I call it the heaviest yielder of 
any variety I have been able to bring 
into a fair comparison with it. It seems 
to grow anywhere, as to character of 
soil, is very vigorous and rank, and 
m ikes an immense growth of tops, and a 
corresponding growth of tubers if the 
land contains the where-with-all to carry 
out the crop. 
The quality is excellent, hardly equaled 
by that of any other variety. You can 
sell twice in a place with these, every 
time. They are not quite so smooth and 
level about the eyes as some might de- 
sire, but their large size will more than 
redeem that defect when offering them 
for sale. Skin white and inclined so be 
netted, flesh very white. Their quick, 
vigorous growth, enables them to get a 
deep hold on the soil that carries them 
right along in a dry time where many 
other shallow rooted varieties wither up 
and fail entirely. If dug any time that 
early potatoes are, there will be found to 
be an equal yield, but while the early 
ones stop their growth and ripen down 
MONROE CO. PRIZE. these keep right on for three weeks or 
more longer and grow accordingly. I obtained my original stock direct from the introducers 
and have it pure. Only early orders will be sure of a supply.
