Potatoes. 
The Houlton, Maine, Seed Potatoes 
Are universally acknowledged to be the best; grown in the cold North, where nature conspires against all but 
the strongest, we get our best seed. For earliness and productiveness we are convinced that Maine grown seed 
are the best, and, in the long run, cheapest. Why not take the same care in selecting your seed potatoes as you 
would your cabbage? Our stocks have been grown for seed purposes, and are carefully selected for yield and 
purity. Our sales have each year increased until last year we sold over 7,000 bushels of Seed Potatoes. Get our 
prices before you buy. We advise our trade to place their orders early this season, as we feel confident that the 
prices will advance very much as the planting season advances. We are much gratified with the reports that are 
coming in from last season’s crop. Several have told us that seed gotten from our house have yielded from 20 to 
25 per cent more than seed saved themselves and that which was bought elsewhere. We pride ourselves on our 
potato business, and want your trade. 
Houlton Early Rose—This is our most popular 
potato; very early ; fine quality and very productive ; 
known by all. 
Bovee—Acknowledged to be extra early and of 
fine quality; pleased our trade very much the past 
season. 
XX Early—tThis is a potato that comes to us very 
highly recommended—one of the finest; free from 
blight, rose color, productive. Some people are go- 
ing to plant their crop of this kind this season after 
trial the past season. Stock limited. 
Early Northers—Extra early; very prolific; 
shape and color of Early Rose. We recommend this 
otato. 
New Queen—Extra early white potato; fine 
cropper, and makes very few small potatoes. 
Green Mountains—tThe best second early potato 
now on the market; fine yielder, fine flavor, fine 
appearance; free from blight and rot; keeps well 
and is always ready for the table. 
Honeoye Rose—Fine, large tubers; handsome 
color; good table variety ; suits poor soil. 
Carman No. 3—The most productive late pota- 
toes; very large tubers; handsome form and few and 
shallow eyes. 
Sir Walter Raleigh—New variety, producing 
fine, large potatoes, in fact, all of a market size; 
white and mealy. 
Crown Jewels—Are the second crop potatoes, 
and are recommended for their large yield. 
Sweet Potato Roots. 
Big Stem Sweet Potatoes—Have come to be recognized the best for market gardeners. They are fine 
size, and the yield has astonished our most critical trade. They make only a very few, and in some cases no, 
small roots. The quality is first-class. We handle these only on orders, and an order must be placed at least 
four days before the seed are wanted. 
Jersey Sweet Potatoes—Are too well known to require any description. We get these from reliable 
growers in New Jersey, and our trade has grown very large on them. Orders must be placed at least one week 
ahead of the time when expected to lay the roots, as we cannot keep them on hand.
