You will see they grow smoother, not as many knotty or ill-shaped as the Bovee. As for quality, about the same as ; Our field notes for 1809 showed that Potato Pingree was eight to ten days earlier than either Bovee or Early ^Michigan and yielded twen- ty per cent more than those two varieties. In every other respect it was fulh^ equal to Bovee and Early Michigan. The ^Nlinnesota Experi- Station gives it a yield of 360 bushels per acre. This last year, when all earh^ potatoes except A'igorosa were cut short by blight, Pingree yielded the best of any (except Vigorosa) and gave us the smoothest, nicest stock of any. Remember, Pingree is an extra early, the earliest of its class that we know of, as well as being a smooth, potato. The skin is white or nearly so, well netted, shape rather long and just the style that sells best for early market. Quality unexcelled. Price of Pingree for mail, lb., 25 cents; 2 lbs., 55 cents. By freight, lb., 15 cents: Vz peck, 30 cents; peck, 45 cents; bushel, $; barrel, $ THE LIVIXGSTOX.—Introduced in 1896 by A. W. Livingston's Sons as "A White Seneca Beaut}'." It has few eyes and those are very shallow. The Seneca Beauty is well known as one of the most beauti- ful of all potatoes, but when the rose-colored skin is changed to white, with the ''peach-blow" eyes still retained, it is indeed a beauty. We have grown the Livingston four seasons and have been more than plealsed with it. The qualit}-, instead of being rather indifferent as is often the case with verj^ heavy croppers, is of the very best,
