the Early Rose, and they cook mealy,'and are of excel¬ 
lent flavor. This variety is very productive, and will 
yield a good crop on light, sandy ground, where the 
Early Rose would be an entire failure. 
Extra Early Vermont. 
much more hardy, a better keeper, more productive, of 
better quality, and from a week to ten days earlier, and 
is rapidly taking the place of that popular variety. In 
many places where the Early Rose has failed to produce 
a crop, this variety has given the most satisfactory re¬ 
turns. A first class certificate was awarded to this vari¬ 
ety in 1873, by the Royal Horticultural Society of Ten¬ 
don. 
Trophy. — A medium early variety, with strong, erect 
vines, and thick leaves. Tubers medium sij»e, regular, 
elongated oval ; eyes very few, almost fiat upon the 
surface ; very productive, a good keeper, and matures 
about two weeks later than the Early Rose. Skin rus- 
seted, reddish , flesh fine grained, white, and of excel¬ 
lent quality baked or boiled. Received a first class cer¬ 
tificate at the London Potato Show, last autumn. 
Early Rose.—This was the first of Mr. Breese's 
seedlings, offered in the spring of 1868, and has now be¬ 
come the standard variety for eariiness, quality and 
productiveness. 
Extra Early Vermont.—Similar in color, form and 
general appearance to the Early Rose. It is, however. 
Early Snowflake.— This variety ripens about a 
week later than the Early Rose ; shape symmetrical 
and uniform size medium , skin white, with russety 
tinge : flesh fine grain, snow white when cooked, and of 
a lightness and porosity almost approaching a snow flake. 
Its mealiness, pure, delicate flavor, and the evenness 
with which i: cooks through, have never been excelled 
by any potato it received a stiver medal at the Mass¬ 
achusetts Horticultural Society, and always wins a prize 
wherever it is exhibited. 
Magnum Bonum.-This variety is remarkable for 
combining eariiness, large size, freedom from disease 
and great productiveness, but needs peculiar treatment 
to get the best results. I he seed should be cut in sin 
gle eyes and then planted ten or twelve inches apart in 
drills three feet apart Each eye will throw t;p a single 
stalk, producing from four to six large tubers. They 
are white, nearly round, with a few eyes of a pinkish 
cclor Baked zr boiled they are white as snow and very 
mealy. This is quite distinct from, and very much su¬ 
perior to, the English variety called Sutton’s Magnum 
Bonum. 
Mammoth Pearl. -Vines very large and strong- 
growing, so that in many cases they outstrip the bugs 
and produce a crop in spite of them. The tubers, which 
ripen in August, are large, oblong. usually a little flat- 
tended, very smooth and uniform. Eyes even with the 
surface. Skin very white. Fiesh as white as that of 
any variety and cooks as white as snow to the very 
center. We think that any one who tries this variety 
will be convinced that the highest quality may be com¬ 
bined with the largest size. 
Burbank s Seedling.—A white-skinned, medium 
early variety, a seedling of the Early Rose , of fine form 
and good proportions! it has few eyes, which nre but

with their targe leaves. Tubers round, and of uniform

and quality of its parents,the Peerlessand the Early Rose.
