Fsmr Acres of Early Res©! 
I raised last season between four and five acres of this 
new potato, obtaining my seed directly from the original 
growers in Vermont. I found that it grew to a large size, 
'was remarkably productive, and of excellent quality. 1 am 
now selling them at the following rates; 1 by mail, $1; 
3 tbs, $2.00; 1 peck, by Express, $5; half bushel, $b; 1 bushel, 
$15; lbbl, $40; 60 lbs. to the bushel, 365 lbs. to the bbl. 
Special quotations given for larger quantities, when desired. 
With each peck of tlie Early Itose at retail rates, I will put 
in gratis one of tlie “ T Villard" potatoes, a new seedling, of 
which I purchased tlie entire stoclc of Ml*. Gleason, a gentle¬ 
man who is probably tlie most experienced raiser ot new 
seedling potatoes i'll New England, and who was intimately 
associated with tlie late Mr. Goodrich in his experiments 
with new seedling potatoes. I also offer the following po¬

$ 100 . Excelsior Potato. $100. 
I have arranged with Mr. F. IV. Holbrook, of Hillsborough 
Co., N. II., to act as his Agent for this new seedling potato, 
which lie describes as “Tlie most excellent of tlie excel¬ 
lent, tlie best table potato known, tlie most admired of any 
for its superior cooking qualities, which it retains later ill 
the season than any other variety. A good yield'er, surpass¬ 
ing many other new varieties. In short, no other potato ex¬ 
cels it, or ever has, in all that is warranted, for table use.” 
This is pretty strong eulogy, but it comes so well backed lip 
by such a number of good recommendations from well- 
knoxvn citizens that have grown and used it, and tlie pota¬ 
toes I have examined are such white, handsome, well-shaped 
ones, and when cooked are so surpassingly excellent, so 
white, so dry, and so well flavored, that I endorse it in full, 
and hereby offer $1.00 (here's a chance for Bresee's No. 4!) 
to am/ one who will send me a new potato originated within 
the last ten years, that will surpass the Excelsior in quality, 
as a table potato for fall, spring, and summer use. The 
stock of the Excelsior being small, it will be sold ill one, 
two. and four pound lots, at the rate of $1.00 per pound. In 
my Potato Circular will be found a complete history, de¬ 
scription, and many strong recommendations of this new 
potato.
