rtheless of good quality when raised in the warmer localities of New
England and the Middle States. It is earlier than the Davis Seedling;
comparatively free from disease; a good keeper; commands the highest
market-price; and, every thing considered, must be classed as one of the
best, and recommended for general cultivation.

The plants are very erect, the flowers nearly white; and the balls, or
berries, are produced in remarkable abundance.

JENNY LIND.

Rhode-Island Seedling.

A variety of comparatively recent introduction. Plant very strong and
vigorous; tubers of extraordinary size when grown in strong soils, long
and somewhat irregular in form, thickly set on the surface with small
knobs, or protuberances, above which the eyes are placed in rather deep
basins, or depressions; color red and white intermixed, in some
specimens mostly red, while in others white is the prevailing color;
flesh yellow when cooked, and quite coarse, but esteemed by many as of
good quality for table use.

One of the largest of all the varieties, remarkably productive, quite
free from disease, keeps well, and, as an agricultural potato, rivals
the Rohan. Requires the full season. It sports more than any potato;
being exceedingly variable in size, form, and color.

LADY'S FINGER.

Ruffort Kidney. _Law._

Stem from one foot and a half to two feet high, of straggling habit of
growth; leaves smooth, and of a light-green color; blossoms rarely if
ever produced; tubers white, smooth, long, and slender, and of nearly
the same diameter throughout; eyes very numerous, and slightly
depressed.

A very old variety, of pretty appearance, long cultivated, and much
esteemed as a baking potato; its peculiar form being remarkably well
adapted for the purpose. It is, however, very liable to disease; and as
many of the recently introduced seedlings are quite as good for baking,
as well as far more hardy and productive, it cannot now be considered as
a variety to be recommended for general culture.

LAPSTONE KIDNEY. _M'Int._

Nichol's Early.

A variety of English origin. M'Intosh describes it as being "decidedly
the best kidney potato grown, and an excellent cropper. Tubers sometimes
seven inches in length, and three inches in breadth. It is longer in
coming through the ground in spring than most other varieties, and the
stems at first appear weakly; but they soon lose this appearance, and
grow most vigorously. It is a first-rate potato
