There are numerous advantages in procuring them in this shape. First.âIt has been conclusively proven that potatoes cut to single eyes give the largest yields and best results generally. Second.âNo freight charges to pay. Third.âThey can be sent without danger of freezing. A customer can secure them in ample time for planting without Incurring this rick. Fourth.âBy our improved method of preparing the eyes for shipment, they will keep in good condition for months. We guarantee safe arrival, in good condition for growing. The splendid collection above offered consists of 85 eyes each of the following sorts. They, in our judgment, constitute the cream of all the potatoes in the market to-dav. NOKTHKUP, KING & CO.'.S "EXTRA EAKI.Y OHIO," the purest and earliest stock of Ohio potatoes in existence. "EXTKA EARLY TRIUMPH." The sensational sort. Proven tobeseveii to ten daysearlicr than the Early Ohio. NORTHRIJP, KING & CO.'S "PINGREE." The l)est main cropjjotato. Kveryl)ody isdelijrhted witli the"Prti- f:ree." It is a heavj'cropper. Incomparably attractive in appearance. Eyes few and tlush with surface. Skin, ight russet. Clean and handsome. Snow \vhite, dry and floury when cooked. "CARMAN NUMBER 3." Tlie best of all the Carman introductions. A late variety, » most extraordinary cropper and long keeper. We will mail 25 eyes each of the above on receipt of only $1.00. *IOmomh^>r '^^^^ guarantee safe arrival in good growing ;;\ClllCllllJCl tj^gy 5Q prepared as to keep for several mon prepa condition and that months without harm EXTRA EARLY TRIUMPH, (Bliss.) This variety has been known for n long time, and vet "unknown." It was introduced many years ago by Mr B. K. Uliss, of i\ew York, wlio disseminated tlie Karly Kose. Tlie Triumpli attained at the time no particular fa- vor,l)ut all o£a sudden its virtues became a ()i)rccin ted and tlie demand f<!rit season before last was so great that itsoM readily in carload lots for three times tlic priceof ordinary seed potatoes,and one man who held several thousiind bushels reaped n substantial fortune from their sale. Tliere is good reason w hy tlie Triumph should be popuhir. It is from seven to ten days earlier tlian tlio Ohio, and that oftentimes means a dilTerence of many <lolIars in the crop. We believe lhat potato grow ers w ill do well to plant liberally of them the coming spring, as there is sure to be an almost unlimited demand for tlie seed from the Mississippi Valley, where thousands upon thousandsof acres of potatoes are grown each year for the early market. The potato is of good size, squared at ends. Skin la red, flesh is very white and firm. It is productive, and for several years to come will probably command a higher price among potato buvers than anv other sort. Our stock is genuine- Price, 100 eyes, f 1.00, by mail postpaid. By freight, peck, COc; bu., $1.7.'i; bbl. (3 bu.), iii4.r,o; in 10 bbl. lots ^4.00.
