MARKET GARDENER §, TRUCKERS au OTHERS Who grow potatoes for home or market will prize this potato ahead of all others on account of its extreme earliness, good table qualities, fine size aiid thape, great productiveness and splendid keeping properties. Just think of one Yariety of Potatoes combining all of these qualities in high degrees. We positively assert and have abundant and undoubted proofs that Everitt's Early 6-Weeks Market Potatoes do make good size, merchantable tubers-in 6 weeks from planting. We don't refer to a solitary instance. This potato can be depended upon for such results every time if planted when the grmving season has arrived, and the toeather is favorable. With unfavorable weather they will, of course, require longer. (Read the reports on following pages.") The potatoes cook fine and dry from the time they are large enough untii late spring. Size is medium, skin light flesh color, shape like in illustration. They are perfect beauties, heavy yielders and sure yielders. We have had much experience with this potato and are prepared to state that owing to their quick growth, escaping the drought, bugs, blight, etc., and extra yielding propensities, they make larger average yields for the ordinary Potato grow- er than' late varieties that oftentimes are left to take their chances against unfavorable influ- ences. This potato, strange to relate, keeps sound, solid and fresh late into the spring, equal to any late potato that we ever saiv. Taking all the good qualities of this potato into consideration, is it not a money variety for the market and a variety that will be prized by all lovers of early vegetables at home ? There is not a more valuable variety in existence, in our estimation. It is worth, its weight in gold for a start of seed. The Potatoes begin j& SUMMARY Size for use in 6 Weeks. Ri- pen in 10 Weeks.

The tops and tubers grow rapidly. They grow so rapidly and mature so early that the potato bugs liave lit- tle chance with them, making the crop, if planted early before the young bugs be- come numerous. They yielded on the farm of the origi- nator in Ohio 420 bushels per acre Next year 380 bush- els per acre, two years later over 600 bus. per acre. He raised them foi early, medium and late crop, claiming they "fill the bill" bet- ter than any others. The originator says: "Potatoes have beer my favorite crop sine* I was a boy, and I al ways took great pleas- ure in seeiiiir whai good crops and large yieldsl could get, but never did I see a nicer Potato than this.
