Mai SEED POTATOES From B. K. Bliss & Sons' Potato Catalogue. OOMPTON'S SURPRISE. This wonderful Potato, wonderful for its fine quality and productiveness, is a seedling of the Prince Albert, fertilized with the pollen of the Long Pinkeye. The first year froiu seed there were four Potatoes weighing one-half pound. The following Spring these were cut to single ry&S and planted on poor soil. The product of the half pound was three hundred and ninety vn pounJ., sixtv-two pounds of beautiful tubers being picked from the surface of a measured rod. as it is a peculiarity of this Potato that they often mature a crop on the auraes 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 ihoes more than the Rose and other old sorts planted by it, and remained sound, while the old varieties rotted badly. These Potatoes are invariably sound lo the center, a hollow one having never yet been found. It is a late variety, ripening with the Pcachblow. Its shape m oval-oblong, eyes sunken, brow prominent, skin smooth, color reddish-purple, flesh white; srows to a large Mze. It is believed to be much the most abundant in starch of any variety rxtant. It retains its quality perfectly throughout the year, appearing on the table like a ball f 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 haying that wilted appearance common to early sorts. The following extract from the report of the Committee awarding the premiums offered in 1873, confirms sill that was claimed for them by the originator when first introduced: Comttos's SiTRriusE has received the unanimous verdict for the most prolific Potato culti vated at present. Yields of from twelve to twenty pounds to the hill are reported by the hundreds, and in one instance 2SJ 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 i 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 affected by it 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. Th superior merits of this varietr, first sent out by us in the Spring of 1S73, may now be considered as fullv established. It has been largely cultivated over every section of the coun try the past two seasons, and fully sustains the high character given it by the committee for a waring the premium offered by us in 1873, in the following statement, after examining the reports of the various competitors : "The Eakly Vermont has, as proved by the numerous reports before us, more than sustained its previous reputation. Xearly all the competitors declare it from onetotuo weelcs earlier than the Early Hose, and many even more. Its uniform and large size is recognized by every one. Mr. McLeod savs ; 'There are more than 100 in the amount I raised that would weigh from one to two pounds each and Mr. Salier raided one tuber that weighed three pounds twelve orxcKS. 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, earlinees and yield, it far surpatse that celebrated variety" A first-class certificate was warded this variety by the Royal Horticultural Society of Lon don, 1S73. . , , Caution. In consequence of the great similarity between the Extra Early ermont and the Early Rose, many of the latter wili;doublless be oflered 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. A dress all orders directly to our house. Koth of these varieties were sold at $4.50 a Bushel last year. We now offer them at $2.00 per Bushel, Cash on delivery. m 1 ' TI1E TAMTE CO.
