“THE WHITE ELEPHANT 
POTATO. 1 ’ 
This superb late variety was produced. 
Irom a seed ball of the “ Garnet Chill, ’> 
fertilized with pollen from the “ White 
Peuchblow.” Without hesitation we pro¬ 
nounce it as combining the Dest qualities 
of the foregoing varieties, viz : wonderful 
product iveness, excellent Quality and flavor, 
pouter oj resisting disease, and, great 
beauty, not to mention the fact of Its being 
proof against decay until far Into Spring. 
These qualities alone would recommend it 
not only for field culture, but also for the 
private garden. From Its origin It may be 
called a twin-brother of the “Beauty of 
Hebron,” which It resembles Ln many re¬ 
spects, possessing many ot those qualities 
vhlch have rendered this latter variety so 
lastly popular. Last season the originator 
ilanted one bushel of sixty pounds ot 
‘ THK WHITE ELEPHANT,”on one-eighth 
jf an acre of ordinary soLl, and therefrom 
uarvested no fewer than fifty-seven bush¬ 
els. The tubers, notwltb standing their 
great size, are always solid, and, grow¬ 
ing closely together in the hills, the labor of 
digging 1 b comparatively slight. The vines 
are very stout and vigorous, and have thus 
tar resisted all manner of hltght, turning 
yellow only at the proper season, and the 
potatoes ripening along with the “ Late 
Rose.” We claim that “THE WHITE 
ELEPHANT " not only possesses the unex 
celled qualities of the “ Beauty of Hebron, 
out also the wondeiful productiveness ot 
the old “ California ’ of twenty years ago.
