AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST, 
[Junk, 
A New Early Sweet Potato, 
EARLY GOLDEN. 
This variety originated in Virginia a few years since, by 
an old cultivator of the Sweet Potato. It is a 6port of the 
old Early lied, but said to be far superior to that variety 
in earliness, productiveness, color, and quality. Slips 
planted May 10th. produced tubers large enough for the 
market July 25th. On account of its early maturity it is be¬ 
lieved to be better adapted for cultivation in the Northern 
States than any other variety. In shape they are somewhat 
shorter than the ordinary varieties, of a golden yellow color, 
cook very dry, and are of superior flavor. Another valuable 
consideration in favor of this variety is, that they will grow 
on quite ordinary soil with but a slight coat of manure, and 
yielded a large crop the past season upon land that would 
not grow above fifteen bushels of corn to the acre. In good 
soil they will produce many specimens weighing three to 
five pounds each, it is also an excellent keeper. From 
what we can learn from those who have tested this variety, 
we think it will prove the most valuable In cultivation. 
Price of slips, with directions for planting, by mail, post¬ 
paid, 50 cents per dozen; $1.25 for fifty; $2.00 per hun¬ 
dred. By express at purchaser’e expense, $1.50 per hundred, 
$12.50 per thousand.
