J. C. Everitt's Catalogue. 
Every year I receive samples of a score or more of new potatoes, each of which is clamed to be 
new, distinct, and superior in some respects to any in the market. These are all carefully tested, and 
are usually found to lie practically identical with, or inferior to; some established variety; hut amonj 
these hundreds of seedlings, there is occasionally an improvement, and I aim to include in my list all 
such new sorts, cogether with the best of the older kinds. 
New Varieties Offered last Year for the First. 
As I have not found a new variety of superior merit I head my list with last years selections, and I 
am confident my customers-will find them wed worth a trial. They have been grown in a great many 
parts of the United States and Canada, and proved equal to all that was claimed for them. 
BIG BENEFIT. 
This extra fine variety originated with Mr. II. Collum, a celebrated hybridizer in the North Eastern 
part of Pennsylvania, we are already indebted to him for n number of well known and valuable varie- 
ties. It was raised from a seed ball of BrowNfi.i.s Superior, fertilized with the pollen of 'he Bur- 
hank, and combines the good qualities of both its parents. In appearance it closely resembles Thorn- 
horn’s Late Rose. They are smooth and of perfect form Eres set well on surface, never glows 
prongy, not one in the whole crop has a prong on, w hile the White Elephant was very prcii?y. It is 
very productive, growing to a large uniform size, and producing but a \ c ry few’ small till ei s, al 1 beiii”

scabies. In qualm it is fully equal to the very best, cooking white, dry and llourv ; flesh exceedingly 
fine grained either baked or boiled, cooks through quickly and evenly, has no hard center or core as 
a table variety it is absolutely without a fault. In habit of growth the vines are close jointed, heavy
