Referring to potatoes, Mr. Benj. P. Ware, in a recent address before the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, remarked.: "As to potatoes, since the Early Rose was raised and sold for three dollars a pound, and a cow given for a single tuber, farmers have seemed to be crazed on the subject, and we have been flooded with new varieties, many of which are seedlings from the Early Rose, and some of them are better. Burbank's Seedling is a better cropper, keeps well and is white and of excellent quality. The Early Ohio is earlier than the Early Rose and has the requisites of a first-class variety. Goodrich's Seedling originated near Haverhill, and received a prize offered by the Essex Agricultural Society for the best seedling potato. It is a strong grower, keeps well and is a firm variety. Clark's No. 1 is excellent. The Bell is probably the best new variety; several persons who have tested it in competition with twenty others claim for it better qualities than are possessed by any other; it is very productive and remarkable for its uniform size; of pinkish color."
