SEED POTATOES From B. K. Bliss cO Sons' Potato Catalogue. COMPTON'S SUEPEISE. Thi wonderful Fotato, wonderful for Its fine quality and productiveness, ia a seedling of the Prince Albert, fertilized with the pollen of the Long Pinkeye. The first year from peed there were four Potatoes weighing one-half pound. The following Spring these were cut to eingle eyca, and planted en poor soil. The product of the half pound wan three hundred and ninety one pounds, Hixty-two pound of beautiful tuber being picked from the surface of a measured rod, as it is a ectiliarity of this Potato that they often mature a crop on the surface under the foliage. The next season they were planted in soil from which a poor crop had been taken the previous year, and, althongh the season was very unfavorable, this seedling yielded six times more than the llose and other old sorts planted by it, and remained sound, while the old varieties rotted badly. Thee Potatoes are invariably sound to the center, a hollow one having never yet been found. It is a late variety, ripening with the Peachblow. Its shape J oral-oblong, eyes sunken2 brow prominent, skin smooth, color reddish-purple, flesh white; grows to a large size. It is believed to be much the most abundant in starch of any variety extant. It retains its quality perfectly throughout the year, appearing on the table like a ball of flour. The high quality of this Potato late in Spring may, perhaps, be owing to its tardi ness in sprouting, remaining plump and free from sprouts when kept until June, and never having that wilted appearance common to early sorts. The following extract from the report of the Committee awarding the premiums offered in 1S73, confirms all that was claimed for them by the originator when first introduced: Comitos's SmrRlSE has received the unanimous verdict for the most prolific Potato culti vated at present. Yields of from twelye to twenty pounds to the hill are reported by the hundreds, and in one instance 2S poundswere dug from one hill. Asa rule, the most prolific varieties are not of the best eating quality, but to this, Compton's Surpise is an exception. Thousands have testified that they never ate a better Potato. Its uniform mealiness of grain, combined with the purest, flavor and its snowy whiteness of flesh, which is not in the least aftVcted by its blue skin, can not fail to make ti highly valuable as a family Potato. This variety tilxiws a peculiar tendency to produce a surface crop, not found in other kinds. 1 wo years ago we paid lo lor one liushel of the above heed Potatoes. EXTRA EARLY VERMONT. The superior merits of this variety, first sent out by us in the Spring of IS73, may now be considered as fullv established. It has been larsrelv cultivated over everv section of the coun try, the past two seasons, and fully sustains the rf I I l i o o awarding me premium oiiereu uy u in ioio, m reports of the various competitors: "The Early Vermont has, as proved sustained its previous reputation. Nearly all tham the Early Rose, anti many even more. Its one. Mr. McLeod says : 'lhere are more than from one to two pounds each f and Mr. Salier raised one tuber that weighed three pounds twelve ounces. Its superior cooking qualities are unanimously commended, as well as its compact growth in the hill and its freedom from disease, and with the thousands of cultivators who have grown it alongside the larly ltose, hardiness, earltness and yield, it Jar surpasses that A first-class certificate was warded this variety don. 194 3.
