bages cannot be fully matured outside of Marblehead, I in¬

SEED POTATOES BY MATlT ’ A $1 IVVESTME^. 
E. WiLLi.aiis Dear Sir.—I planted the Early Goodrich 
potatoes soon after receiving tliem, and from tlie'4 lbs. raised 
4X biisiiels. They are a first-class table potato, earlier than 
tlie Mercer, and not more than a Ib. of small ones in all I 
rai.sed. The Cuzco did as well as last year, and tlie Cop¬ 
permine a little better. I do not tliink the Early Goodi ieh 
can bo beat in size and productiveness as an early potato, 
and as for a table potato it is the best I raised out of 16 kinds.
