. Descriptive catalogue of a choice collection of vegetable, agricultural and flower seeds, gladiolus, lilies, and other summer flowering bulbs. Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Nurseries (Horticulture) New York (State) Catalogs. POTATOKS.—NKW SIL VER SKIN. In this variety W8 have another wonderful production from Northern Vermont—raised in 1875 by one of our most successful cultivators—from a cross of the Ea-rly Kose and the White Peach Blow—from the same seed ball from which the Matchless originated. It has been a very promising variety from the first, but wishing that its character might be fully established, we have delayed offering it until the present season. Meanwhile, it has been carefully and thoroughly tested, and we have no hesitation in giving it a place among our most desirable varieties. It resembles the Peerless in many respects, but is earlier and of better quality, and has so far proved more produc- tive than that favorite variety. Vines of medium bight, quite stocky, and of compact growth. Tubers medium to large, with very few small ones. Skin smooth, silvery white.—in some soils slightly russeted. Flesh of snowy whiteness, tine grain, and well-flavored; cooks through quickly, and very mealy. As a baking potato it has no equal. Its productiveness the past season was greater than any variety in our trial grounds. It is entirely free from disease,—a most excellent keeper,—and cannot fail to give satisfaction to the cultivator. As a market variety we think it will entirely supersede the Peerless.
