The La Flume Triumph Potato. 
The above cut is a most accurate and 
truthful representation of this most prom¬ 
ising variety engraved from a photograph, 
which was taken from an average sized 
specimen. I have now grown this variety 
for three years, and have been more and 
more pleased with it each year. Grown 
by the side of the Late Rose, and Burbank, 
as a field variety, it produced 20 per cent, 
more than either of those justly celebrated 
varieties, with exactly the same care and 
cultivation, and they would readily bring 
about 10 cents more per bushel than 
either of these in our markets. It has been 
carefully tested by a number of experienc¬ 
ed growers in various parts of the country, 
and all unite in pronouncing it a decided 
acquisition. 
In color and general appearance, it some¬ 
what resembles a well grown specimen of 
the once popular Garnet Chili, per¬ 
haps a little more flattened and the eyes 
rather more prominent. It ripens in Au¬ 
gust, or early in September, produces few 
tubers too small to be marketable and in 
quality is equal to the best. The vines are 
large and thrifty, and the tubers well form¬ 
ed in the hill. Its keeping qualities are 
excellent. To sum up it is a good healthy 
vigorous, market or table variety, bound to 
go beyond its,recommendation, and please 
every one who plants it. In order that 
all lovers of a good potato may add to 
their collections we have put the price as 
low as the the stock on hand will possibly 
warrant. Unlike many varieties which 
have gone “up like a rocket and down like' 
a stone,” this is “better liked when better 
known” and is likely to advance rather than 
diminish in price for several years to come. 
In cooking qualities this variety would 
be classed with the Peacliblows, having 
the same rich, dry, mealy habit so well 
known in that i old favorite. It is however 
much earlier than the Peachblows and 
grows more compactly in the hill. The 
roots never spread and produce tubers out 
of the bills as the Peachblows are wont to 
do. 
Per pound postpaid by mail, 50 cents; 
per peck, by express or otherwise, 75 cts- 
per bushel, $2.50; per barrel. $7.00.
