It is not as early as Pingree, but is early, and the best yielder of all our earlies. It was introduced by us in 1897. We named it Vigorosa because of its very strong, vigorous growth. Now after another year's experience it is more evident than ever that it fully justifies its name. While other early varieties blight. Vigorosa keeps right on with its magnificent growth of large spreading tops, and when it comes to harvesting time the way the smooth hand- some tubers roll out is enough to gladden every farmer"s heart. One man who grew Vigorosa for us last year said, "Why, it looked just as if some one had gone along the row after the digger and poured the potatoes in out of a basket.;; It is a very handsome potato.

It almost doubles Early Michigan. In the Michigan Ex. Station's published report of 77 varieties only one matured earlier than Vigorosa. and only eleven (all late) outyielded it.
