THE WHITE SEEDLING. 
This sterling late va- 
riety gave the best of sat- 
isfaction on my grounds 
last season. It is • an 
enormous grower and pro- 
portionate yielder. It re- 
sembles very closely in all 
respects the Monroe Co. 
Prize. It is rather more 
smooth and a little more 
regularly shaped than that 
variety. It seems to be 
perfectly hardy and vigor- 
ous. Reports seem to 
indicate that both the 
Monroe and this are a con- 
siderable improvement on 
two of the present leading 
late potatoes, viz. : White 
Star and Burbank. It is 
very white and cooks 
beautifully. An examina- 
tion of the tables of com- 
parative yield in the back 
part of this manual will 
show how high it stands 
in this requisite. It was 
one of mv most product- 
ive sorts the past season. 
Prices same as for Mon- 
roe Co. Prize. 
Bbls. are for three 
measured bushels, or 2f 
weighed 165 lbs. 
WHITE SEEDLING. 
It is very probable that the stock of some of the varieties I grew 
may become exhausted early in the season, so it will save much time 
if you will say whether I am at liberty to substitute another variety 
or not. If nothing is said about it and there is not time to corres- 
pond about the matter, I shall act according to the best of my judge- 
ment in the matter being governed somewhat by the wording of the 
order. In ad cases where it is apparent that von just what is ordered 
or nothing, it I am out of that variety the money will be immediately 
returned.
