A NEW EARLY SWEET-POTATO. 
1C A It lilt" GOLDEN. 
This variety is a sport of the old Early Red, but far su¬ 
perior to that variety in earliness, productiveness, color, 
and quality. Slips planted May 10th produced tubers large 
enough for the market July 25th. On account of its early 
maturity, it is better adapted for cultivation in the North¬ 
ern States than any other variety. A valuable considera¬ 
tion in favor of this variety is that they will grow on quite 
ordinary soil, with but a slight coat of manure, and yielded 
a large crop the past season upon land that would not grow 
above fifteen bushels of corn to the acre. It is also an ex¬ 
cellent keeper. 
We first offered this variety in the spring of 1880, and 
have received many favorable notices from those who have 
tested it. It matured its crop as far north as Canada. 
Specimens have been exhibited weighing six pounds. Slips 
ready about May 15th; tubers now. 
Price of slips, with directions for planting, by mail, post¬ 
paid, 50 cents per dozen ; $1.00 for fifty; $1.75 per hundred. 
By express, at purchaser’s expense, $1.00 per hundred; $7.50 
per thousand. 
Price of tubers, 60 cents per pound; three pounds, $1.25 
by mail. By express, at purchaser’s expense, one pound, 
50 cents; 5 pounds, $1.00; twenty pounds, $2.50; fifty- 
pounds, $5.00. 
A complete descriptive and priced list of the above, with 
directions for culture, will be found in

Farm and Garden.

New Varieties Potatoes for 1883. 
ROSY MORN.—In appearance this variety closely 
resembles Early Rose, but in quality is decidedly superior, 
whieh yields nearly double as much as Early Rose, planted 
side by side, and under the same conditions. 
RUBICUND.— This is a splendid, medium late variety, 
and in quality ranks with the best, while in hardiness and 
vigorous growth of vines, as well as in productiveness, it 
has few if any equals. As a reliable winter keeping Potato, 
it is not excelled by any ather kinds. Prices of each of the 
above varieties, $1.00 per pound; three pounds, $2.50, by 
mail, post-paid. By express or freight, at the expense of 
the purchaser, half peck, $3.00; one peck, $5.00; half bushel, 
$7.00; one bushel, $12.00; bbl., $25.00. 
TYRIAN PURPLE.— The skin is a dark purplish 
red; flesh white and firm, and, when cooked, floury and of 
good flavor. It is an excellent keeper, and, on account of 
its many merits, we believe every Potato cultivator would 
do well to give it a trial. Price, 50 cents per pound; three 
pounds. $1.25, by mail, post-paid. By express or freight, at 
expense of purchaser, one peck, $1.50; one bushel, $5.00.
