Cream City— The tubers grow to a large size, white 

 fleshed, very sound and solid, showing no tendency to 

 become hollow: they aTe of excellent quality, and cook 

 delightfully dry and flaky. Grown alongside of many 

 excellent early varieties Cream City proved itself to be 

 worthy of first rank for productiveness, size, quality and 

 appearance. As a keeper it is unsurpassed. Peck, 60 

 cts.; bushel, $1.25; barrel S3.

Resembles the old favorite Snowflake very much in ap- 

 pearance, and in cooking qualities. It is, however, 

 much more prolific, and has the further merit 

 of being the nearest to BUG-PROOF of any 

 Potato we have ever grown, the bugs only attack- 

 ing it after all other varieties in sight had been disposed 

 of, and then only in very small numbers, so that they 

 could easily be taken care of. As an all round family 

 or market Potato, in size and shape, we consider this 

 one perfect. It is handsome in appearance, grows to a 

 large size, clear white, cooks evenly and mealy, and 

 possessing that desirable flavor peculiar tc IheSnow- 



Northern Grown Stocks. 



GermaD, ftartoffel. French, Pomme de Terre. 



Ten bushels cut tubers to the acre. 



The Potato may be grown with varying success on soils of all 

 kinds, but the soil best suited to it is sandy loam. But little 

 manure is required if the soil is good. 



The Potatoes we offer are specially raised for us for seed pur- 

 poses. We deliver all Potatoes f. o. b. cars, no extra charge be- 

 ing made for barrels. All Potatoes are shipped at purchaser's 

 risk.

THE MILWAUKEE. 



By far the best early Potato we have ever seen. It resem- 

 bles Crown Jewel in appearance, but of larger size and 

 very much superior quality. It is a strong grower with 

 very strong tops, comes into use fully as early as 

 Early Sunrise, yielding, however, a much 

 larger crop than that variety, and has the further 

 merit of being a first-class keeper, and may be depended 

 upon to remain in good condition without sprouting 

 until very late in the season. If grown in rich, black 

 loam, it will produce a very heavy crop of 

 handsome, large tubers of very tine quality. 

 And not the least of its good qualities is the fact that it 

 is almost entirely Rust Proof. Peck, 50 cts.; 

 bushel, 81.25; barrel S3. 25 



Mr. Huebner of Manitowoc, Wis., a Potato 

 Specialist of many years' standing, writes us 

 that the Milwaukee is by far the largest 

 yielding early Potato he has ever grown. 



CARMAN NO. 1. 



A very popular main 

 crop variety. It is a 

 vigorous grower, and 

 a great cropper, the 

 tubers being of a large 

 size, and very uni- 

 form. The flesh is 

 white and of excellent 

 quality. Does best on 

 sandy or loamy loil.

SNOWFLAKE JUNIOR. 



flake. The tops are remarkably strong, growing up- 

 right, color dark green. Peck," 60 cts.; bushel, 81.50; 

 barrel $• 



Pride of Wisconsin — A variety of very superior merit, 

 remarkable in size and beauty of the tubers, which are 

 oblong, round and smooth, of a beautiful rose color; 

 very productive. For good keeping qualities it has no 

 superior. Peck, 40 cts.; bushel, $1.00; barrel 



Lakeside Champion — A late white variety, maturing 

 along with Burbank and resembling in appearance the 

 well-known Beauty of Hebron. It is, however, longer 

 and larger than that variety, very productive and re- 

 markably fine grained, possessing the finest keeping 

 qualities". When cooked they are nice flavored, dry and 

 mealy. It is a strong bug-resister, and does remarkably 

 well on thin, poor land. Peck, 40 cts.; bushel, 81.00; 



■World's Fair — A main crop variety of excellent qual- 

 ity. The tubers are good sized, smooth flesh, fine 

 grained, pure white, and cooks mealy. Peck, 40 cts.; 

 bushel, 81.00; barrel 



Freeman — Similar in appearance to the Cream City in- 

 troduced by us several years ago. The tubers are good 

 sized with a beautiful russet skin, flesh white and fully 

 equal to the old Snowflake in eating qualities. Peck, 

 40 cts.; bushel, S1.00; barrel 



Great Northern— A very desirable sort for main crop.
