NELLIS’ FAMILY PRIDE. 
THE EARLIEST AND BEST POTATO. 
In THE FAMILY PRIDE we offer an entirely new and distinct variety, 
originating from a seed-ball of the original Early Rose, and hence possesses the 
requisite new blood, besides coming from the far north, It excels the qualities of 
Its parent, when that was in Its prime, by being earlier and a heavier cropper, 
ana is equal in fine cooking qualities, and differs from It in form, being m< 
round and slightly flatten- d, with but few eyes, and they lie even with 
the surface. In habit it is of robust growth and strong vine, 
compact in the hills, and matures ahead of all others, It was 
In this market the past season, and on good laud produces fri 
450 bushels per acre The entire stock was in the hands of 
a few northern growers, who had a monopoly of it. The 
stock we offer Is all grown in the far north, and by the 
originators. We guarantee It will give more satisfaction 
than any new variety in potatoes offered at double 
the price. We have put prices at popular rates, 
so as to be within the reach of all. JTo better in¬ 
vestment can be made than 
to use this variety for seed, 
as the Increased yield will PRODUCT 
more than four times pay for 
the additional cost of that 
home-grown seed.
