THE EARLY OHIO. many that were almost decided acquisitions, but were either too similar to varieties already well known ; yielded too many small potatoes, or potatoes that were prongy, ran to too sharp a point, or were in some other way badly shaped for market ; had too many or too deeply sunken eyes ; were of poor qual- ity or too prone to rot. Ultimately I have found but three out of over two hundred seedlings that have proved them- selves to be decided acquisitions—the Early Ohio, the Duumorc, and Burbank's seedling, of which see more farther on. The Ohio is one of the numerous seedlings of the Early Rose, but while almost all of these are so like their parent as to be undistinguishable from it, the Early Ohio, while in color like the Early Eose is, in shape, distinct, being round-oblong instead of oval-oblong, so that side by side it is readily distinguishable. Eyes about as numerous as those of the parent, while the brows are rather more prominent. On the large-t specimens, the cluster of eyes at the seed end are located slightly one side of the longer axis. Quality ex- cellent. Grown side by side with the Early Eose, it proved a week earlier, ichile the yield was a tliirel greater. • The result of a careful trial of its merits, side by side with all the new seedlings now before the public, besides over thirty new"varieties sent me from various localities in New England, the Middle and Western States, each of which being sent as a new seedling of special promise, leaves the Ohio in the same high rank it previously held: 1st, a decidedly earlier than Early Hose, and 2nd, as emphatically a better cropper than any other variety equally early, and equalled by but two of the later varieties.
