Four Acres of Early Rose! 
I raised last season between four and five acres of this 
new potato, obtaining my seed directly from tbe 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 ft by mail, $1; 
3 lbs, $2.00; 1 peck, by Express, $7; half bushel, $^; 1 bushel, 
$15; 1 bbl, $40; GO ibs. to the bushel, 305 lbs. to the bbl. 
Special quotations given for larger quantities, when desired. 
With each peck of the Early Rose at retail rates, 1 will put 
in gratis one of the “ Willard" potatoes, a new seedling, of 
which I purchased the entire stock of Mr. Gleason, a gentle¬ 
man who is probably the most experienced raiser of new 
seedling potatoes in New England, and who was intimately 
associated with the late Mr. Goodrich in bis experiments 
witli new seedling potatoes. I also offer the following po¬ 
tatoes at prices annexed.
