The “Early Hose" hs a seedling of the “Garnet Chili," 
originated in 1S61 by Albeut Biezee, Esq., an intelligent 
farmer, and the whole stock was sold by him to D. S. Ileff- 
rou, (of Utica, N. Y.,) the well-known disseminator of the 
“ Goodrich Seedlings.” 
In a letter to Messrs. B. K. Bliss & Sox, of New York, Mr. 
II. says of the “Early Ilose:’’ “It has uniformly ripened 
ten days earlier than the 'Early Goodrich,' produces less 
small tubers, is equally healthy, and productive as that justly 
celebrated variety, and its superior in table quality. It is 
the best early potato that Ihave ever grown or seen, all things 
considered.” “ Skin thin, tough, of a dull blush color, flesh 
white, solid and brittle: boils through quickly; very mealy.” 
Dr. John P. Gray, Superintendent of the. N. Y. State Lunatic 
Asylum, says: 
“Last Spring, (1SG7), 1 received from D. S. Ileffron a quan¬ 
tity of his new Vermont Seedling Potato called the Early 
Hose. It was planted the last ot May, in alternate rows with 
the Early Goodrich, in the same kind of soil and treated ex¬ 
actly alike. It came up rank, grew more rapidly than the 
Early Goodrich, and flowered full two weeks before that 
variety. It began to ripen its large, thriftly growing leaves 
twelve days in advance of the other, and was fully ripe and 
fit for digging at least ten (lays before the Early Goodrich- 
We carefully measured four rows of each kind across the 
piece, and found the yield quite equal to the Early Good¬ 
rich ; in health it was also its equal, while it excels the other 
in table quality. I consider it tho best very early sort with 
which I am acquainted.” 
JOHN P. GRAY. 
(Dr. Gray has none of tho stock for sale, having only raised 
a few for Mr. Heffron.) 
CAM mm D. S. HEFFRON, Esq. 
To T Vhom it may Concern. 
Having recently sold nearly my entire stock of the "Early 
Hose Potato,” to John L. Conovep. and Stacy P. Conoveii, 
they have sent me an order to deliver a portion of them to 
Geo. W. Best (of Utica, N. Y.). 
D. S. HEFFRON. 
Geo. W. Best has purchased of Messrs. John L. & Stacy 
P. Conover, of Monmouth County, New Jersey, a part of 
their stock of “ Early Rose Potatoes,” at the enormous price 
of Eighty Dollars ($80) per bushel, and proposes to send them 
out in pound packages, as premiums to those purchasing 
Grape Vines of him. The following will convince the pub¬ 
lic that $30 per bushel is the actual price paid.

John L. Conover and Stacy P. Con¬ 
over, of Monmouth Co., New Jersey, being duly sworn, 
depose and say that on this 21st day of February, 1863, they 
sold to Geo. W. Best a part of their stock of “Early Hose 
Potatoes,” at the cash price of $S0 per bushel.

I have a very large stock of CJioicc Native Grape 
Vines, (consisting of the most desirable varieties, among 
which are Atiirositlac, Alien’s Hybrid, Con¬ 
cord, Cxevelin"', Delaware, Biaaia, Union Vil¬ 
lage, Hartford Proliiic, Rogers’ Hybrids, 
Iona, Isi-aella, &c., &c.,) which I intend to send out 
in connection with the “Early Rose.” 
TTESSHS : 
For ®5 (invariably to he sent with the order,) I will send 
Ten Clxoice Grape Vines from the above list (re¬ 
serving the right of selection for myself, but will endeavor 
to suit purchasers as far as possible.) and One Pound of 
“ III arty Hose Potatoes!” all to be securely packed, 
and sent by mail, postage prepaid. 
BMST&UCTIOMS FOS1 PLAMT1MG. 
By cutting into single eyes, and planting but one eye in a 
hill, one bushel may be readily raised from a pound, and will 
be worth next Fall, at the very lowest calculation, double 
the price paid for both Vines and Potatoes. 
Not more than five packages sent to one address. 
No “Early Rose” for sale in quantity at any price, and 
only in connection with the Vines. 
No orders accepted unless accompanied by the Cash. 
Orders will be booked in order as received, and Potatoes 
and Vines shipped ns early in the Spring as the weather will 
permit. Order early, as the stock is limited.
