1000 basket second crop seed potatoes of the
pride of the South and Rochester Eary''
varieties. These | believe are the best two
varieties of potatoes to-day the market for
the following reasons
LIST. 1.-The Pride of the South potato is from
two to three weeks earlier than other variety.
End. 1t always grows smooth and round, is
never knotty and never takes second growth.
3D. With the same show twill beat any other
early variety of potato in yielding q crop
4th. 1t is good keeper, does not try to sprout
and grow out of the ground before it is scarcely
ready to dig like most of the other early yarie-
ties.
9Th. No matter how large they grow Il had
them weigh considerable over pound piece)
they are always smooth, round, and no false
hearts in them.
9Th. They will grow on heavy soil as well as
light, and they are the best eating potato
ever known
From II acres of pride of the South, this
year sold 800 baskets of marketable potatoes
grew other varieties, but the Pride of the
South were all dug and marketed before any
and then after giving the other varieties from
to 3 weeks longer to grow, such as Early For

Northern and others. and after giving then,
al .the second growth with knots and potatoes of
ali shapes to help fill the baskets, the Pride of
the South beat them al about % per cent.
free from knots, and were all round. | grew

from "Pridefof the South and bad several other
varieties, but they did not turn out near as well.
Dorchester Early grows roundish and ex-
ceedingly smooth and free from knots, and is

potato in yield, but they had from to 3 weeks
longer to grow. While they not as early as
the Pride of the South,' they are large enough
to dig as soon any other variety il the price
is high, and will turn as many baskets per acre
but they would be green, and it is best to let
them have their time, when if the season suits
and thew are given She proper chance thew will
turn out 500 baskets of marketable potatoes Der
acre very easily. They will attract the attention
basket of these s.Rocbester Early potatoes I
grew on my farm, captured the LIST prize at the
Farmers Picnic at Washington Park this year
and can safely say they attracted more atten
ton at the Picnic than all the varieties ex hibit
ed put together They were far superior to any
of the others in shape and smoothness. No
matter how large or small they grow, you never
find any false hearts among them. They are al,
extra good eating potato, with the rest of their
good qualities. They turned out over 800 baskets
OF mark etable potatoes per acre for me this year
with no extraordinary chance. Owing to having
such a large patch of potatoes they were slight,
ed more than they probably would have been
had the potato patch been smaller.
These potatoes will be sold by the basket or
barrel from sample which l will have at the
sale. They were all grown on my farm
where have been growing them for years to
my entire satisfaction. Win grow no other
kind next year. They have come out way
ahead each year for the past years. of any
other varieties might select to grow.
