It is, ho'wever, much more prolific and lias the further merit of being the nearest to BUG-PROOF of any Potato sve have ever grown, the bugs only attacking it after all other varieties in sight have been disposed of. As an all-around family or market Potato, we consider this one perfect. It is handsome in appearance, grows to a large size, clear white, cooks evenly and mealy. The tops are remarkably strong, growing upright, color dark green. Peck 85c; bushel $; 5 bushels $ Green MountainâThis Potato is noted for its heavy yields on loose soils and muck land. It is a strong, vigorous grower with a tendency to root deep. The tops are heavy and branching, the foliage light-green and blossoms white. The tubers are cylindrical or round, sometimes a little flattened. The eyes are few and shallow; the skin white and thickly netted, showing superior eating and cooking quality, and the flavor is unusually flne, few Potatoes ex- celling it in this respect. A main crop sort hard to beat under favorable conditions. Peck 85c; bushel $; 5 bushels $ Sir Walter RaleighâA heavy yielding, standard main crop variety, much in demand on account of its uniformly ex- cellent qualities. Vines vigorous and largely bug-proof; tubers large, flne-grained and clear white; flesh dry and mealy when cooked; eyes few and shallow. Peck 85c; bushel $; 5 bushels $ â Carman No. 3âA standard main crop variety yielding enorm- ously. It is of perfect form, almost every Potato being of uniform size and shape. It has very shallow eyes, which are fe^v in number
