Burpee's Extra Early Potatoes
The finest in quality of all early potatoes, and the earliest variety of good size, excepting only Uncle Gideons Quick Lunch and Eureka Extra Early. The Potatoes are oblong in form , averaging three to four inches in length, with pure white or very pale brownish skin, few eyes, and these quite shallow. The cooking quality of Burpee's Extra Early is all that could be desired—it being the very finest table variety that we have ever grown, excepting only Vermont Gold Coin. It ripens very evenly and the tops die down as soon as the crop is matured, so that the potatoes may be dug and the land planted with second crop for succession. It is the earliest potato that combines size with finest table qualities. Lb 30 cts.; 3 lbs for 75 cts.;
