POTATOES 
Potatoes like rich soil but no fresh manure. 
Work a potato fertilizer into the rows with 
the hoe. Set the cut tubers in drill about six 
inches deep, with a piece every 15 inches. - It 
is a good plan to fill in the drill with three 
inches of soil, then to apply fertilizer and fill 
in the rest of the soil. Tubers should be cut 
into pieces with two eyes and each piece 
should be as large as possible. Early potatoes 
are planted in April, later crops in June. 
The familiar potato bug can be kept away by 
the use of Arsenate of Lead or Pyrox, and for 
blight Bordeaux Mixture or Pyrox. 
The price of potatoes is subject to change 
as the season advances, although we adhere 
to the catalogue prices as much as possible. 
Potatoes are shipped at purchaser’s risk. 
All our potatoes are sold by weight (60 
lbs. to the bushel). 
Plant 10 bushels cut tubers to the acre. 
Red River Early Ohio—Our Red River grown seed of this 
popular variety will increase your yield far beyond your 
expectations. The soil in this valley is peculiarly 
adapted to the best development of the potato crop. 
Not only do you get an increased yield, but the potatoes 
are far better, cleaner and entirely free from scab, be- 
sides being pure with none of the mixture usually 
found in -Hastern grown stock. It will pay you to 
change your seed. Price per peck, 65e; bushel, $2.25. 
Carman No. 3 Potato, 
Green Mountain. 
Irish Cobbler—A very productive early white skinned 
potato, nearly round in shape, with eyes somewhat 
more prominent than Early Ohio. In the Eastern 
States it is the most popular of all the early sorts, 
and is rapidly taking the place of other old favor- 
ites in the West. It is a heavy yielder, has a fine 
appearance, and cooks splendidly. Price per peck, 65c; 
bushel, $2.25, 
Green Mountain—A vigorous grower and 
heavy yielder bearing uniformly large 
tubers in light soil. It possesses excep- 
tionally fine cooking qualities. The skin 
is thick, of a creamy-white color and 
heavily netted. Price per peck, 60c; 
bushel, $2.00. 
Carman No. 3—A favorite main crop potato. 
It is a strong grower, yielding good crops 
under almost all conditions. The tubers 
are very uniform in type, with shallow 
eyes, and very few of them, skin and flesh 
white. Its cooking qualities are the best. 
Price per peck, 60c; bushel, $2.00. 
Rural New Yorker No. 2—Popularly known as 
“Dusty Rurals.” Is a standard in all mar- 
kets, always bringing the top market price.

crops of uniformly large tubers, of excel- 
lent quality, and very few, shallow eyes.
