"TnE EARLY RosE." We do not have
reference to that "rose, which, by any other
name would smell as sweet" but the new
variety of Potutoc, which Mcssrs. MCCURDY
DUKE, are now introducing, and of which
they have on hand a small supply. In behalf
of this variety, it is alleged that they mature
quicker by ten days Or two weeks than any
other potatoe, and that two crops a season can
be easily produced. Through the courtesy of
our friends, who always think of the printer
when they have anything new, we have secured
Il few OF these potatoes and mean to give them
fair trial. We have seen them favorably no.
ticed in many of our Northern exchanges,
and have no doubt they are a superior
article In addition, they will have for the
gardening season u full stock Of seeds Of every
kind.
