POTATOES 



CHANGE YOUR SEED! 



RED RIA ER EARLY OHIO. 



Failure to obtain a profitable crop of Potatoes is attribut- 

 able in many instances to lack of due care in selecting- the 

 seed, as tlie proper selection of Seed in the case of Potatoes is 

 as important as it is in the case of corn, oats, cabbage or any 

 other crop, and saving potato tubers for seed from an inferior 

 strain or a run-out stock is always short-sighted policy and 

 poor economy. The growing of Potatoes of the same strain 

 year after year, especially on the same ground, inevitably re- 

 sults in a run-out stock with a weakened constitution and loss 

 of productivity. Greatly increased yields Invariably result 

 from the change to a new and vigorous strain, and the crop 

 on the market commands top-notch prices. Our Seed Potato 

 Stock is carefully grown for seed purposes only and is true 

 and vigorous. Prices given at this time will hold as long as 

 our present supply remains unsold, after which current mar- 

 ket prices will govern. Our prices will then be based on a fair 

 and reasonable margin of profit, whatever market prices 

 may be. ^eu Uu.sliels Cut Tubers to the Acre.

This is without doubt the best known and most popularly 

 grown Extra Early Potato in this country. Our stock is 

 as pure and vigorous a strain of Ohios as the most expert 

 supervision and careful selection can make it. The skin of 

 this variety has a slight tinge of color, but the flesh is pure 

 white, always cooking up dry and mealy. The yield is 

 large and uniform under all the varying conditions of soil 

 and climate, and the tubers, very few little potatoes among 

 them, are compactly produced in the hill so that digging is 

 easy. The skin is smooth and the eyes shallow. Keeping 

 qualities remarkable, stock remaining firm as a rock well 

 into the spring. Peck 65c; bushel $2.25; 5 bushels $10.75. 



IRISH COBBLER. 



A comparatively new extra early sort grown in large quan- 

 tities in some sections, where it is always the first variety 

 ready 'for market. The flesh is clear white and of good 

 flavor, always cooking dry and mealy. Skin is creamy- 

 white and sometimes netted, an indication of quality. It 

 is a very heavy, reliable cropper, producing handsome, 

 almost round potatoes very uniform in size and 

 shape. It is several days earlier than Early 

 Ohio and is ready two weeks before Early Rose. 

 Pedk 65c; bushel $2.25; 5 bushels $10.75. 



EXTRA EARLY TRIUMPH (BLISS'). 



This is the standard extra early variety of the 

 South, the one seen in our markets in hampers 

 so early in the year. The skin is deep pink — 

 almost red — hut the flesh is pure white and of 

 fine cooking quality. The tubers are of medium 

 size, nearly round, square at the ends and 

 smooth, with shallow eyes, and the crop pro- 

 duced is tremendous, 12 to 15 tubers being found 

 in a hill. It is a week to ten days ahead of Ohio 

 or Rose, and resists rot and disease to a remark- 

 able degree. Grown not only in the South, but 

 increasingly every year throughout this part of 

 the country. Peck 70c; bushel $2.35; 5 bushels 

 $11.25. 



EARLY ROSE. 



A standard early Potato of fine quality and very 

 prolific. Peck 65c; bushel $2.25; 5 bushels $10.75.
