plant of each, and found nine of Peck’s Early, three of Eureka, and none of 
Crim's Early. The small tubers were not counted. Peck's Early ripened first, 
and yielded at the rate of 503 btishels per acre. Eureka was taken up about a 
week later, and yielded at the rate of 4 30 bushels per acre. Crim’s Early was not 
measured, as it was not equal to the others in earliness or productiveness. A 
row of very vigorous late varieties grew within three feet of these, and probably 
lessened the yield somewhat. After growing seedlings, and testing hundreds of 
named sorts for a third of a century, my first choice for an early variety would 
be Peck’s Early. Of new. unnamed varieties grown this year for the first time, 
not one was saved for farther trial.” — M. Crawford. 
Cuyahoga Falls. Ohio, October 31, 1902. 
These statements would show that the Peck’s Early was not only earlier, but 
a greater yielder of larger sized tubers than any of the best of the early ones. 
As farther confirmation of Mr. Peck’s claims we append the statements of 
some of his neighbors.

I have raised Peck’s Early potato and have found it satisfactory in every re¬ 
spect. Last year, when we had such a drouth, it was the only potato planted on 
the farm that made any yield. The potatoes were large, and a great many in the 
hill: they have a fine flavor and are the earliest potato I have seen, and l cheer¬ 
fully recommend them.

Mr. J. R. Peck:—Having raised your early potato for the last two seasons. I 
can sav it is the earliest and largest yielded, and as good a potato as I ever saw.

Gentlemen:—Pingree and Early Michigan planted April 9th and were a fine 
crop. Peck’s Early planted April 22d and was ripe as soon as Pingree and Mich¬ 
igan. They were planted in a garden which was too rich and heavy for them, but 
they were a fine crop. Got fifteen bushels from the peck of seed. 
Respectfully. W. W. HILL.

Flansburgh A- Pierson: 
I got the three barrels of potatoes to-day and am well pleased with them. 
They are fine seed potatoes. Hope the others will come soon. My customers are 
more than pleased. Yours truly.

C. N. Kelley, of Leslie, Mich., says he planted one pound of Peck’s Early pota- 
toe in his garden and grew one hundred pounds from it without any special fer¬ 
tilizer. Almost all large, handsome potatoes. 
Mr. Kelley has grown a fine crop of smooth, la.rge tubers again this year the 
exact data of which is not at hand. 
Clinton. Ill. 
The five pounds of Peck's Early produced two and one-half bushels of beauti¬ 
ful, smooth, round, light cherry red tubers. The first potatoes to ripen I had 
and the earliest to ripen of any 1 ever raised and I have tried manv.

Dear Sirs:—The half peck of Peck’s Early yielded four bushels, more or less. 
One peck of White. Giant gave a wonderful yield of large, fine potatoes for so dry 
a summer. I was surprised with them. STEPHEN KURK. 
New Brunswick. New Jersey. 
Gentlemen: — The Peck's Early potato is all right. Very early and prolific. 
Potatoes all of marketable size. WM. T. WOEMER. 
E. Hollister, of Avondale Ave.. St. Louis, Mo., says: “The seed you sent me 
last spring was fine in every respect. Planted and cultivated (Peck’s Early) as 
in field culture. Early as compared with Eureka. Day Break and Gold Coin, yields 
25 per cent, above either. Very few small ones.” 
Danville. Virginia. 
I planted the Peck Early potato T bought of you last spring, cut to one eye 
on a piece, and secured a good yield of la.rge, smooth potatoes. I dug them in 
July and at the present time they are firm and nice. I consider them a most 
excellent early variety and believe they will prove equally good as a winter 
variety. , , JAS. T ; WHITE.

The Peck's Early potato in yield and earliness with me were up to your 
description. A fine potato to plant to obtain or introduce new blood in potato 
culture. C. S.- BRACE. 
Mr. Sherwood, of Hudsonville, Mich., reports a yield oi nine bushels from one 
peck of seed of Peck’s Early but says they were no earlier than Snowball 
O. M. Hale, of Kalamazoo county, Mich., says: “The Peck’s Early yielded 
well and of more uniform size than any I ever raised. No small ones and were 
very early.”
