SEED POTATOES From B. K. Bliss d Sons Potato Catalogue. COMPTON'S STTKOPiRISIE. Thin wonderful Potato, wonderful for its fine quality and productiveness, is a seedling of the Prince Albert, fertilized with the pollen of the Iong i'inkeyc. The first year from seed there were four Potatoes weighing one-half pound. The following Spring these were cut to single eyes, and planted 011 poor soil. The product of the half pound was three hundred and ninety one pound., sixty-two pounds of beautiful tubers being picked from the surface of a measured rod, as it is a peculiarity of this Potato that the' 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, although the season was very unfavorable, this seedling yielded six times more than the Hose and other old sorts planted by it, and remained sound, while the old varieties rotted badly. These Potatoes are invariably sound to the center, a hollow one having never yet been found. Jt is a late variety, ripening with the Peach blow. Its shape is oval-oblong, eyes sunken, brow prominent, skin smooth, color reddish-purple, flesh white; grows to a large sie. It is believed to be much the most abundant in starch of any variety oxtsnt. It retains its quality perfectly throughout the year, appearing on the table like a ball of Hour. The high quality of thia 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: CoMl'TON's Si'nruiSE 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 -Si pounds were dug from one hill. As a 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 mealinc-ss. of grain, combined with the purest, flavor and its snowy whiteness of flesh, which is not in the least affected by its blue skin, can not fail to make it highly valuable as a family Potato. This variety shows a peculiar tendency to produce a surface crop, not found in other kinds. Two years ago we paid $15 for one Bushel of the above Seed Potatoes. EXTRA EARLY VERMONT. The superior merits of this variety, first sent out by us in the Spring of 1S73, may now be considered as fully established. It has been largely cultivated over every section of thecoun Irv, the past two seasons, and fully sustains the high character given it by the committee for awarding the premium offered by us in 1S73, in the following statement, after examining the report of the various competitors: "The Early Vkrmon'T has, as proved by the numerous reports before us, more than sustained its previous reputation. Nearly all the competitors declare it from one to tuo weeks earlier than the Early Rose, and many even more. Its uniform and large size is recognized by every one. Mr. McLeod says ; "There are more than 100 in the amount I raised thai would weigh from one to two pounds each ;' and Mr. Salier raised one tuber that weighed three rouxns twelve orxcr.s. 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 Early Rose, there seems to be no doubt left, that in quality, hardiness, earline.- and yield, it far &vrpascs that celebrated variety" A first-clars certificate was warded this variety by the Royal Horticultural Society of Lon don, 1S7.. Cavtiox. In consequence of the great similarity between the Extra Early Vermont and the Early' Hose, many of the latter willdoubtless be offered by unprincipled persons as the Early Vermont. To avoid imposition, we caution purchasers to beware of itinerant peddlers, and purchase their stock of reliable parties only. We employ no peddlers or agents. Adress all orders directly to our house. !th of these varieties were sold at i.50 a Bushel last year. We now offer them at $2.00 per Bushel, Cash on delivery. 1 THE TAX1TE CO. October 7, lS7o-tf.
