UP-TO-DATE. A GREAT NEW POTATO. 



A new main crop Potato that compares more than favor- 

 ably with the best varieties grown in this country. We im- 

 ported the parent stock a number of years ago and believe we 

 now have in our Up-to-Liate a Potato which will take second 

 place to none. It is a remarkably heavy cropper and has a 

 grand constitution, being at all times free from disease. The 

 vigor of its growth and its apparent immunity to bugs are 

 very striking. The tubers grow to a uniform size and are 

 wonderfully attractive, with very few eyes, and ihose exceed- 

 ingly shallow. The skin and flesh are white. Its cooking 

 qualities are the very best, being at all times dry and floury, 

 and the flavor is excellent. In Europe crops of this Grand 

 Potato equal to 20 tons per acre are not unusual. Plant on as 

 well-drained ground as possible and hill up well at the proper 



Sir Walter Raleigh — A heavy yielding, standard main 

 crop variety, much in demand on account of its uni- 

 formly excellent qualities. "Vines vigorous and largely 

 bug-proof; tubers large, fine-grained and clear white; 

 flesh dry and mealy when cooked; eyes few and shal- 

 low. Peck 50c; bushel $1.50; barrel (165 lbs.) $3.50. 



Carman No. 3 — A standard main crop variety yielding 

 enormously. It is of perfect form, almost every Potato 

 being of uniform size and shape. It has very shallow 

 eyes, which are few in number. The skin and flesh are 

 white, with no hollow or dark parts; cooking qualities 

 very fine. Peck 40c; bushel $1.35; barrel (165 lbs.) $3.40. 



Rural New Yorker No. 2 — An intermediate variety of ro- 

 bust habit, and a very abundant yielder producing well- 

 shaped tubers of slightly oblong shape and very uni- 

 form in size. The skin is white and smooth with few 

 and shallow eyes. Better known as "Dusty Rural." 

 Peck 40c; bushel $1.35; barrel (165 lbs.) $3.40. 



New Hybridized Potato Seed — From the seed balls — one 

 of the rarest of seeds. Will produce an endless variety 

 of new kinds. See page 6. Pkt. 15c; 2 for 25c; 5 for 

 50c; 10 for $1.00; 100 for $8.50, prepaid. 



The Acme Hand Potato Planter is a convenient and use- 

 ful tool, 75c. 



time. This variety needs hilling for best results, and it is 



best to get the seed into the ground soon after the middle of 



May, although planting thus early is by no means imperative. 



Peck 60c; bushel $2.00; barrel (165 lbs.) $5.00. 



Green Mountain — This Potato is noted for its heavy yields on 



loose soils and muck land. It is a strong, vigorous grower 



with a tendency to root deep. The tops are heavy and 



branching, the foliage light-green and blossoms white. The 



tubers are cylindrical or round, sometimes a little flattened. 



The eyes are few and shallow; the skin white and thickly 



netted, showing superior eating and cooking quality, and 



the flavor is unusually fine, few Potatoes excelling it in this 



respect. A main crop sort hard to beat under favorable 



conditions. Peck, 50c; bushel, $1.50; barrel (165 lbs.) $3.50.
