LATE VARIETIES. 
♦Snow —We have grown this for several 
seasons and are well pleased with its yield¬ 
ing qualities. Nearly every potato grows 
perfect in shape, roundish, slightly flattened, 
with snow-white skin and flesh. Produces 
very few unsalable potatoes. Can be planted 
closer than the Burbank and still produce 
good sized tubers. 
RELIANCE — After careful observations 
in different localities, we are convinced that 
this is the one great potato for extra rich 
soils, low lands, dyked lands, etc. The fact 
that they set so many potatoes to the hill, 
generally 15 to 30, will prevent their suc¬ 
cess on high lands, but makes a big point in 
their favor for rich low lands, where the ten¬ 
dency is for the potatoes to grow too large. 
In fields we visited this fall we often found 20 
salable potatoes to the hill and none of them 
too larn-e or coarse. The color is light brown¬ 
ish white and the tubers are shaped much 
like the Burbank. The flesh is white and 
they are splendid cookers. 
*Pride of Multnomah —A new potato that 
is superior to the Burbank. A strong, vigor¬ 
ous grower producing perfect white potatoes 
of the Burbank shape. 
♦Burbank —The standard sort. 
Netted Gem —Called by some the Russet 
Burbank Long shaped tubers, covered with 
a fine netting. They are of splendid quality 
and noted for their baking qualities. 
WHITE ROSE —This new potato is a very- 
heavy yielder of round, oblong, white pota¬ 
toes that are in great demand.
