GOLD SKIN. —This is a beautiful yellow 
potato, usually growing very chunky. It has a 
peculiarity of being almost a golden yellow 
inside. Many describe it as being all heart and 
it does so appear. The quality of this variety 
is very fine, one of the finest grown in this 
section, and is becoming to be very highly 
prized. 
CEDARVIDLE. —This variety is similar in 
many respects to the Yellow Nansemond ; it is 
said to be an improvement on that variety. I 
grew it the past season for the first time, and 
can say that it made an excellent yield of fine 
potatoes. I should have no hesitancy in plant¬ 
ing it.

ket varieties; yields heavily and is of good 
quality; bright yellow with tinted red tips, 
which shows only when freshly dug. Sprouts 
only. 
SOUTHERN QUEEN.—This variety is 
white and of very fine quality. It belongs to 
the yam family. Many prefer it to any other 
variety for the home table. It does not sell 
in market as well as some others, but for my

varieties. Sprouts only.
