UP-TO-DATE. A GREAT NEW POTATO 



A new main crop Potato that compares more than favorably 

 with the best varieties grown in this country. We imported the 

 parent stock a number of years ago and believe we now have in 

 our Up-to-Date a Potato which will take second place to none. It 

 is a remarkably heavy cropper and has a grand constitution, be- 

 ing 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 those exceedingly 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 time. This variety needs hilling for best results, and it 



Sir Walter Kaleigh — A heavy yielding, standard main crop 

 variety, much in demand on account of its uniformly ex- 

 cellent qualities. Vines vigorous and largely bug-proof; 

 tubers large, fine-grained and clear white; flesh dry and 

 mealy when cooked; eyes fev/ and shallow. Peck S5c; 

 bushel $2.75; 5 bushels $13.50. 



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 80c; bushel $2.70; 5 bushels $13.25. 



Rural New Yorker No. 3 — An intermediate variety of robust 

 habit, and a very abundant yielder producing well-shaped 

 tubers of slightly oblong shape and very uniform in size. 

 The skin is white and smooth with few and shallow eyes. 

 Better known as "Dusty Rural." Peck 80c; bushel $2.70; 

 5 bushels $13.25. _^

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 $1.25; bushel $4.00. 



Green Mountain — The 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 cylin- 

 drical or round, sometimes a little flattened. The eyes are few 

 and shallow; the skin white and thickly netted, showing su- 

 perior 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 fa\«brable conditions. Peck, 85c ; bushel, 

 $2.75; 5 bushels $13.50.
