H ENDERvSOX'S Early Russet we believe to be not only 
the earliest potato ^rown but the best early potato 
grown. It is a seedling of 1903, bred from two famous 
early varieties, and grown in Maine, the “potato paradise,” 
which produces the best seed jjotatoes in America. 
In earlincss Henderson’s Early Russet leads the field, 
usually being large enough for cooking in eight weeks from 
planting, and in 9 to 10 weeks is fully matured. 
It is a very handsome potato of rounding, oval form, 
very uniform in shape and size, averaging 4 to 5 inches in 
length — sometimes larger, seldom smaller. The eves are 
on the surface and very shallow. The skin of creamy-buff 
is netted golden russet, nature’s hall-mark, as all critics 
know, of potato quality — which axiom is fully sustained in 
Henderson’s Early Russet, for the flesh is fine-grained, 
as white as snow, cooks dry and floury,“sheds its jacket” 
when boiled, and its flavor is particularly mild and delicious. 
The vines, while of neat, compact, upright growth, make 
large, healthy, foliage which has so far proven blight proof. 
The tubers grow bunched compactly in the hill, permitting 
close planting, rows 2 to 2^ feet apart and hills 9 to 10 inches 
apart, with only one eye to a hill. Under this method 
the potatoes will grow as nearly alike as peas in a pod and 
yield surprisingly large crops. 
Not the least of the merits of Henderson’s Earlv Russet 
is its wonderful keeping quality. Although it matures so 
early yet it will keep — ]n-operly stored — in pnme condition, 
firm and plump, until June. (Sr(? cut.)
