| as that of the centennial 1t was pro-
iuced in 1873, from a seed ball OF Brownells S

small. The vines are strong and healthy,
and the growth OF the roots and tubers, close
around The stalks. 1t ripens secoud early OF
Medium late; keers wei. during winter, and
retains its mealiness and excellent table
qualities through the entire season. certi-
ficate of merit was awarded to this variety at
the great International Potato Exhibition al
