Extra Early Vermont. 
few, almost flat upon the surface ; very productive, a 
good keeper, and matures about two weeks later than 
the Early Rose. Skin russetcd, reddish ; flesh fine¬ 
grained, white, and of excellent quality baked or boiled. 
Received a first class certificate at the London Potato 
Show, last autumn. 
Triumph. — Without exception, the most attractive 
in appearance of any yet offered. A cross of Early Rose 
and Peerless, combining the productiveness of the latter 
with the good qualities of the former, but matures ten 
days in advance of the Early Rose. Medium size, 
round ; color light red, resembling the early Bermuda 
varieties. Its great beauty, productiveness and fine 
quality make it one of the best varieties in cultivation. 
Improved Peachblow. — A cross between the Jersey 
Peachblow and Excelsior. This improved variety com¬ 
bines all the good qualities of the old Peachblow, and 
ripens earlier, and is of more compact growth. It fully

Burbank’s Seedling. — A white-skinned variety, 
seedling of the Early Rose : of fine form and good pro¬ 
portions ; it has few eyes, which are but little below the 
surface. Either boiled or baked it is dry and floury, 
while the flesh is of fine grain and excellent flavor. In

Burbank's Seedling:. 
time of ripening, it ranks between the early and very 
late varieties. It produces no hollow tubers, is remark¬ 
ably hardy, and produces a large crop of handsome 
tubers, nearly all of which are marketable. 
Trophy.—A new seedling of the Ruby, impregnated 
with the Excelsior, and an improvement on both. 
Tubers medium size, regular, elongated-oval; eyes very 
T riumph. 
equals the old favorite in quality, and yields double the 
quantity per acre. I he tubers resemble the Peachblow 
in form, but are more round and regular. This variety 
can scarcely fail to come into general favor with the 
farmers. 
Ruby.—A new cross between the Early Rose and 
White Peachblow. It matures same time as the Early 
Rose, and is enormously productive, thirty-three bush¬ 
els having been produced last season from one pound of 
seed. The flesh is much like the White Peachblow, 
being white, fine-grained, firm, and of excellent flavor. 
In shape, it resembles the Early Rose, while In color, 
the red of the latter is deepened by the carmine blotches 
of the former. The eyes are carmine, and but slightly 
sunken. This variety received a certificate of merit in 
London, 1875. 
Early Ohio. 
Early Ohio. — The Ohio is one of the most numer¬ 
ous seedlings of the Early Rose, but, while almost all 
of these are so like their parent as to be undist : nguish- 
able from it, the Early Ohio, while in color like the 
Early Rose, is in shape distinct, being round-oblong 
instead of oval-oblong, so that side by side it is readily 
distinguishable ; eyes about as numeious as those of the 
parent, while the brows arc rather more prominent. On 
the larger specimens, the cluster of eyes at the seed end 
are located slightly on one side of the longer axis. Qual¬ 
ity excellent. Grown side by side with the Early Rose, 
it proved a week earlier , while the yield was a third 
greater. 
Brownell’s Sur or. — A cross between Brownell’s 
Beauty and the Peachblow. During an unprecedented 
drought, when many older varieties did not pay for dig¬ 
ging, 673 pounds were grown from one pound of seed. 
It ripens second early, keeps well during winter, and 
retains its mealiness through the entire season. Its 
tubers arc medium large, oval in form, of a peculiar 
dark copper color, very uniform and handsome in ap¬ 
pearance. Skin very fine and smooth ; eyes very few 
and small.
