Of the many new Potatoes that claim public favor, we select a few of the very best in 
cultivation for each season. We have tested and rejected scores of varieties as unworthy of 
introduction, having no superiority over old kinds. Those named below we have proved on our 
own grounds, and the descriptions are made after careful trial. The drawings also were made 
from specimens of our own growing, and show both the shape and comparative size. At the 
pound price we pre-pay postage. At peck, bushel and barrel rates the purchaser will pay 
Express or Freight charges. Of some kinds we can give special prices for large quantities.
