. Harris' rural annual for 1897 and catalogue of Moreton farm seeds and plants. Nurseries (Horticulture) New York (State) Rochester Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Catalogs; Fruit Catalogs. 22 A. Grand New White Potato, WASHINGTON. First in Yield, First in Profit, and First in the Esti- mation of Every Grower. There are so many new varieties of potatoes offered every year—many of which are no better than many well-known varieties—that we are always very particular, before offering a new variety, to thoroughly test it, and if it does not possess any superiority over older varieties we discard it. But when we discovered this potato—Which we have called "Wash- ington "—and saw what it was, we decided, without a moment's hesitation, that it was ahead of anything now grown. It is a handsome, smooth, white potato, of the best shape, as shown in the photograph, page 21, grows uniformly to a good marketable size, and is not affected by blight or scab and yields more than any other variety we have grown. What more could be desired for a profitable mar- ket potato ? The potatoes are so smooth and handsome that they will score " extra fancy," and sell for the highest prices. The quality of the potato is good, but not quite up to some of the smaller-yielding varieties, nevertheless it is much supe- rior to many of the varieties now largely grown. We advise everyone to get a start with the seed of this potato this year. We offer it at a reasonable price, consider- ing its great value and the small amount of seed we have. The Washington is not for sale by any other dealer this year. Price -By mail: Lb. 45c , 3 lbs. $ By freight or ex- press: % pk. 75c., pk. $, bu. $, bbl. $ STANDARD EARLY VARIETIES.
