NEW QUEEN. 
This is a seedling raised from a seed- 
ball from the Beauty of Hebron, in 
Washington County, Maine. We have 
raised it- on a somewhat large scale on 
our farms, and are very much pleased 
with it. We find it very early, a cap¬ 
ital cropper, yielding fine, large tubers, 
so handsome that half of them without 
culling would be good enough to ex¬ 
hibit at any agricultural fair. Under 
high cultivation there are almost no small 
ones. In quality it is most excellent, 
the flesh being a pure white and of that 
sparkling, mealy texture that we all 
like so well in a potato when brought on 
the table. In shape and color it closely 
resembles its parent, the Beauty of 
Hebron. 
Matthew Donaldson, Sault St. Marie, Mich., writes: “ From one peck of your New Queen Potatoes I raised eleven bushels.” . 
Writes Dr. J. K. Shirk, of Lancaster, Co., Pa.: “ The potato is a beauty as it comes out of the earth — so many very large ones.” 
Writes Mr. C. G. Britton, of Cheshire Co., N. H.: “ They are of the finest quality and very early.” 
Writes P. F. Putzen, Air Line June., O.: “ From one barrel of New Queens planted we raised 125 bushels.” 
Writes L. E. Tuttle, of Maine: “ They gave me a wonderful crop of the smoothest, handsomest potatoes 1 ever raised.” 
11. Bickerdike, Balsam Lake, Wis., writes: “ Very early and of fine quality is your New Queen.” 
To put the whole matter in a single sentence, the New Queen is a very early potato , a good cropper of large tubers that are 
remarkably and exceptionally handsome and of a quality that is unsurpassed. 
PRICE LIST OF POTATOES. No discount. ( Per Express or Freight at Purchaser's Expense.') 
MIP* Practically all of the varieties in the list that follows we had specially raised for our customers in that county famous 
for good potatoes, — Aroostook, Maine, — we supplying in every instance the seed stock. We would advise our customers at the 
South to order potatoes in the fall, as there is more or less danger of their being injured by frost if forwarded between Dec. 1 
and March 20. While, therefore, we will guarantee, in filling such orders, to use our best judgment, all potatoes ordered to 
he forwarded between those dates must be at the risk of the purchaser. 1

RADISHES. 
BECKERT’S 
This new radish has rapidly 
grown into high favor for 
spring and summer use. It is 
very handsome, about one third 
of its length being of a rose 
color. We find them in our ex¬ 
perimental grounds to be as 
early as Covent Garden, and 
having the general character¬ 
istics of a good early radish. It 
is of a quick growth, good size, 
very tender, of excellent qual¬ 
ity, while it remains in condition 
for eating longer than most sorts. 
We have before us nearly a 
hundred recommendations, 
whose general trend is so em¬ 
phatically in its favor that we 
are persuaded our market-gar¬ 
den customers can run no risk 
in planting it largely. Price, 
per lb., postpaid, 75 cts.; per | 
lb., 23 cts.; per oz>, 10 cts.; 
per pkg.,.5 cts. 
This is pronounced to be the earliest of all radishes for 
forcing, being fit for the table in three weeks. Flesh tender 
and delicate; produces but few small leaves. Price, per lb!, 
postpaid, #1.00; per | lb., 28c.; per oz., 15c.; per pkg., 10c. 
GIAftT WHITE STUTTGART. 
This new variety is very early and quick of growth. Flesh 
and skin pure white. It will stand the severe heat of the 
South, and grows to an immense size. Price, per lb., post¬ 
paid, 70 cts.; per oz., 10 cts.; per pkg., 5 cts.
