A FEW OF THE NOVELTIES. 
BURPEE’S SUPERIOR. 
This late potato, introduced this year for the first time, is a seed- 
ling of the White Star. It is highly praised as a main cropper and 
is said to withstand the new (to many of the Eastern States) potato 
pest, the flea beetle, better than other sorts. 
It originated with E. L. Coy. the celebrated potato specialist. 
The only objection 1 can find against it is the depth at which it 
grows its tuber, which are also scattered thus adding to the expense 
of digging. 
Prices, by mail, 50 cts. per lb., 3 lbs. $1.25 ; by freight or express, 
40 cts. per lb. ; $1.25 per peck, $4.00 per bushel, $8.50 per barrel, 
two barrels or more $*.00 per barrel. 
EARLY MARKET tVICK'S).

class, and it is claimed by him to be one of the earliest and best of 
that family. Its particular feature being its edible qualities before 
ripening. It is long and round, with small specks on the skin, and 
the tubers grow compact in the bill.
