POTATOES MAIN CROP VARIETIES SNOVVFLAKE JUNIORâOne of the best main crop varieties resembling the old Snowflake in appearance and in cook- ing qualities. 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 fev in number. The skin and flesh are white, with no hollow or dark parts; cooking qualities very flne.
