EARLY FORTUNE POTATO 
This is a wonderful variety and has made a great record wherever grown. It 
was introduced several years ago and all who have planted it say that it is one 
of the best early potatoes of the rose type they have ever grown. It is a very 
strong grower, producing tubers uniform in size, smooth, clean and free from 
prongs, which grow compactly in the hill. The eyes are shallow almost flush 
with the skin and the cooking qualities are excellent even when first dug. It 
is also a remarkable keeper. We believe it will produce more potatoes to the acre 
than any other early potato of its class we know of, and if you have never grown
