Karioffel, Geb.] The great popularity of the new varieties of Potatoes, which have heen sent out from our estab- lishment within tlie last ten years, among which are the Early Kose, Rose, King of the Earlies, Bresee's Prolific, Peerless, Climax, Fxtra Early Vermont, Compton's Sur- prise, Brownell's Beauty, Snowflake, Alpha, Kuby, Cei>tennial, Superior, Improved Peach Blow, Manhattan, Trophy, Bliss Triumph, and Late Snowflake, have induced many growers, in various sections of the country, to experiment in raising seedlings, a large num- ber of which, considered by the originators as the very choicest in their collections, (some of which embraced several hundred varieties,) were grown in our trial ground the past season. We have selected from them the following varieties: Pride of America, Matchless and Silver Skin, which we are confident will prove exceedingly valuable for general cultivation. Several other promising varieties are on trial, from which we expect favorable reports the coming season. NEW VAlilETIES FOR 1880. PRIDE OF AMERICA. Tliis superb variety was raised several years since by Mr. E. S. Brownell, a celebrated hybridizer in Northern Vermont, to whom we are already indebted for a number of well-known and valuable varieties. It was raised from a seed-ball of the Eureka, fertilized with the pollen of the "White Peach Blow, and combines the wonderful productiveness and excellent keeping qualities of the former with all the well-known qualities of the latter. It has been carefully tested by several of our most experienced growers in various parts of the country for the past four years, all of whom have given it their unqualified approval. In app
