Early Snowflake Potatoes
This superb variety is acknowledged by all who have tested it, to possess more good qualities than any variety heretofore introduced. It ripens about a week later than the Early Rose; shape symmetrical and uniform; size medium; skin white with russety tinge; flesh fine grain, snow white when cooked, and of a lightness and porosity almost approaching a snow flake. Its mealiness, pure, delicate flavor, and the evenness with which it cooks through, have never been excelled by any potato. It received a silver medal at the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, and always wins a prize wherever it is exhibited.
