BOLEY’S NORTHERN SPY POTATO. 
I have always considered a good and productive new potato one of the most valuable acquisitions to 
my garden or vegetable plants. And with this object in view I have been for several years experimenting 
with and planting new varieties in order to test their quality, to enable mo to introduce something better 
than the old and long cultivated kinds. I this season have the pleasure of introducing to my customers 
another new and valuable potato which is called Boley’s Northern Spy. 
Boley’s Northern Spy Potato is as perfect in form and shape as it is possible for a potato to 
be. The skin is a very light rose color, almost white ; perfectly clean from scabs or roughness; eyes, 
few and shallow; flesh, snow white ; dry and mealy when either baked or boiled, and of the best pos¬ 
sible flavor. Tho vines are strong and healthy; dark green foliage ; ripen medium early, and grow very 
compactly in the hill. They are excellent keepers, and will remain late in the spring without sprouting 
or wilting. With my experience in growing potatoes, I bespeak a long and popular career for Foley’s 
Northern Spy. and think that in time it will become tho Potato of the Million. Price 25 cts. per lb.; 
% peck, 35 cts.; peck, 60 cts.; bushel, $2. 
THE GREEN MOUNTAIN POTATO. 
The handsome form, white skin, and large size, recommend it everywhere. Flesh is white and fino- 
grained, cooks dry and mealy and is of superior flavor. This is the case when first dug, and they retain 
their good cooking qualities and keep sound and perfect until the new crop comes again. Vines grow 
vigorously, foliage deep green, the tubers grow compactly in the hill which is completely crowded with 
fine largo potatoes ; they ripen in August if planted in April. I havo been making a specialty of this 
potato for the past three years, and it has given entire satisfaction throughout the country. I havo
