RURAL SEED REPORTS. 
Illinois. 
Newark, Randall Co.—My two-ounce 
Blush Potato cut into 14 pieces, some of the 
eyes being divided, was planted in 14 hills, 
and yielded 228 tubers, large and small, 
weighing 79 pounds. The Shoe-peg Corn 
was late. The wheats rusted. s. c. s. 
Iowa. 
Shell, Rock, Butler Co.—From my two 
small Blush Potatoes, the largest not as large 
as a quail’s egg, I succeeded, by cutting them 
down to one eye in a piece, in getting seed 
enough to raise 49 pounds of splendid potatoes. 
I would not take live dollars for my seed, pro¬ 
viding I could not get any more of the same 
sort. They are with me extra hardy, and 
stand drought exceedingly well. m. b. b. 
Kanina. 
McCune, Crawford Co. — My Niagara 
Grape seed failed to come up. The water¬ 
melons did not thrive well. Blush did 
finely, and I have 31 pounds for a test this 
year. The Garden Treasures delighted the 
children, md some were very fine. t. e. b. 
Michigan, 
Hart, Oceana Co.— I planted the Rural 
Blush Potatoes in eight hills in garden soil, 
and although we had a poor season here 
for potatoes, I got 331£ pounds of very nice 
tubers, nearly all large. The Blush withstood 
drought extremely well. The Shoe-peg Corn 
was a failure here—too late. The B-b. Cen¬ 
tennial Wheat failed as a Spring wheat. 
J. D. 
New York. 
Athol, Warren Co.—From my three-ouuee 
Blush Potato I raised 22 pounds of good-look¬ 
ing, though not large, tubers. The drought 
kept down the yield of all potatoes hereabouts. 
The W hito Elephant has outstripped every 
kind in this country, j. l. f. 
Cropseyvtlle, Rensselaer Co.—From my 
Blush Potato cut intoll pieces and planted 
one piece iu a hill, I dug half a bushel-basket, 
full of very nice tubers. I had 10 Niagara 
Grape seedlings. o. j. o. 
Naples, Ontario Co.—My little Blush Pota- 
tato had but nine eyes, one of which was put 
in a hill, making nine hills. Yield, 28 pounds 
of large potatoes, no really small ones. The 
Shoe-peg Corn made a wonderful growth, 
eared heavily, but was too late, as the frost 
killed it just as the grains were nicely formed. 
s. c. s. 
Pennsylvania. 
Fair view, Erie Co.—My Blush Potato, cut 
to nine pieces, one eye to a piece, planted in 
nine hills, yielded 40 pounds, all good-sized 
potatoes. Shoe-peg Coni a failure—too late. 
B-b. Centennial Wheat, sowed in Spring, failed 
to produce a single kernel. The Gem Squash 
was fine. Bugs ate the melons. Garden Trea¬ 
sures were fine. I think the White Elephant 
is a fiuer potato than the Blush. It yields 
well with me. j 4 w . 
West Virginia. 
Clinton, Ohio Co.—I have two Niagara 
Grape seedlings. From two small Blush Po¬ 
tatoes with eleven eyes, planted in eleven 
places, I got 48 pounds of nice tubers, all 
large enough to pare. Though I have several 
other varieties of potatoes, none yielded as 
well as the Blush. w. c.
