A superior medium early variety. This potato is noted for a heavv Yield of medium sized tubers just rmk t a critical market, aud suits the exacting housekeeper who wants ne'ither small nor extra large tubers. TfHf for should be given good ground and clean cultivation, when they will turn out a great crop of beautiful potatoes of smooth shape and handsome appearance, as shown in the illustration. We know of no other variety that will equal them for number of marketable tubers or weight to the hill. Each hill is a veritable silver hill. Shape round to oblong; eyes even with surface; skin white, flesh white. They are equal to the best in table qualities, and we unreservedly recommend the Silver Hill Potato to our customers and predict for it popu- larity equal to our famous Green Mountain, White Mountain and Six Weeks' Market. Potato growers will gain nothing by ing until a future season to get this potato, but they will lose all the benefits result- ing from the growth * of such a splendid and profitable sort. Read some reports received from our introductory effort on the Sil- ver Hill Potato. New POTATO Silver Hill

From pound I raised 30 pounds, all marketable. I think it is the best potato I have ever raised. W. T. STINNETT, Madisonville, Ky. The corn did fine but was injured by a wind and hail storm. The melons were very nice, and we have about one-third of a bushel of fine potatoes from the one you sent. DORA V. GALBRATH, Patterson, la.

I received 7 ozs. of Silver Hill Potatoes from you which I planted with my other truck and when dug in September measured a full peck, which I consider a wonderful yield. C. WILBER, Dayton, Tenn. In my neighborhood I am known as a potato crank; at least so my wife says, and she knows. When I saw the mention" of the Silver Hill included in the pre- mium offer with Up-To-Date, I wanted it. The paper was a surprise to me, as I soon fouud my first number of more value than the entire cost, and its visits afford me many hours of pleasure and profit. Of the potatoes I was as "proud as a boy with his first pants. I planted ( them; they grew nicely; butlo! part of them blighted; yet I dug 11% pounds, or at the rate of 230 bushels per From the % pound of Silver Hill Potatoes you sent I I acre.
