ELDORADO POTATO 



==^— — SOLD IN FALL OF 1903 FOR $1,250.00 A POUND — — ^— 



The most sensational potato in price and produce of all time is the "ELDORADO," introduced in Spring of 1903 by Mr. John Fendlay, 

 Mr. Geo. Massey selling in December of same year 14 pounds for $7,000,00. In Spring of 1904 Mr. Alfred Dunham paid $250.00 for one 

 weighing 5 ozs., and smaller ones sold at rate of $1,250.00 a pound. In February, 1904, Mr. Chas. Neidham, Lincolnshire, paid $30.00 for 

 an Eldorado weighing only i an ounce or three times its weight in gold. SO MUCH FOR THE PRICES, NOW FOR THE PRODUCE — 



This i ounce potato raised the first year 361 pounds; 5 roots weighed separately over 12 pounds each, the heaviest being 14^ pounds, 11 

 roots weighing 110 pounds; one of the largest potatoes weighed 2 pounds, 12 weighed over 16 pounds, and out of the total 100 potatoes 

 weighed 100 pounds. 



To those unaware of the history of this potato these statements may sound incredible but they are facts absolutely beyond the shadow of 

 dispute. 



The Eldorado is rot and blight proof. It is this feature together with its most wonderful cropping qualities that has built up a record 

 never before dreamed of. 



In spring of 1905 we imported direct from the originator some at a cost of $16.00 a pound, one pound of which under our ordinary field 

 test alongside 26 varieties yielded 148 pounds of the finest potatoes we ever dug. They are in shape an elongated oval, with white, slightly 

 russetted skin, shallow eyes, and finest cooking qualities. 



The prodigious cropping qualities of this potato enable us to offer them for the first time in Canada at a price that all can pay. Every 

 sale accompanied by copy of the original bill from Mr. Fendlay. Every pound sent out warranted true Eldorados. 



$1.00 Per Pound (Only a limited quantity) 



We also offer Fendlay's Star, cropped 1,500 bushels to acre, sold 5 years ago $100.00 each, at 50c. jxjund. Also Gold Coin, Toraton 

 Beauty, Irish Cobbler, etc., 26 varieties, the only registered pedigreed seed potatoes offered in Canada.
