OUR OWN NEW AND SUPERIOR "LEELAND BUNCH" VARIETY 
In the fall of 1950, in our annual program of hill selection for 
improving our Bunch variety seedsteck, we discovered a hill of potatoes 
that had a beautiful golden-red internal color which was far superior to 
any Bunch Porto Rico rotato we had ever seen, We propagated the potatoes 
from this hill and found it as superior in yield as in internal color, 
and concluded that we had indeed been fortunate in findine a true sport 
or mutation. 
As a result of our tests the new variety was included in the variety 
test plots at the Georgia Coastal Plains Experiment Station, Tifton, Georgia, 
in 1952, These first year Fxoeriment Station tests showed that our new 
variety out-yielded the regular Burch Porto Rico by more than O per cent 
in U. S. No. 1 potatoes, and the regular vining Porto Rico by more than 
200 per cent in U. S. No. 1 potatoes, as well as maintaining its excep- 
tional. internal color. 
We like our new variety so much that we have given it the name of 
"LEELAND BUNCH" and plan to offer it exclusively to our customers in 195h, 
if it performs as well in 1953 as it has previously. 
We want it to have limited trial in many sections this year and plan 
to reserve a small quantity of plants from our own planting needs to offer 
only to our old customers. Because of the limited quantity which we can 
make available for this purpose we can offer a maximum of only 200 plants 
per customer, We are quoting these are in two quantities only: 100 
plants for $1.50 and 200 plants for 2.75, delivered. Because we have 
such a limited quantity of plants to offer we hove you will get your order 
in early so there will be a greater possibility that we can fill it. 
We sincerely believe you will like the "LEELAND BUNCH" variety as 
well as we do. These plants will not be available until May lst.
