German, Saitoffel. French, Pomme de Terre. 



Ten bushels cut tubers to the acre. 



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

 all kinds, but the soil best suited to it Is sandy loam. Buti 

 little manure is required if the soil is good. 



We deliver all Potatoes f. o. b. cars, no extra charge being 

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

 risk. Prices of all Potatoes subject to variation. 



By far tlie T>est early Potato we have ever seen. It 



resembles Crown Jewel in appearance, but of larger size 

 and very much superior quality. It is a strong grower 

 with very strong tops, conies 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 unti 1 

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

 it will produce a very heavy crop of handsome, 

 large tubers of very fine quality. And not the least 

 of its good qualities is the fact that it is almost entirely 

 Kust Proof. Peck, 60cts.; bushel, 81. 50; barrel 84.00 



Tbe nearest Buc-proof Po- 

 tato known. By far the 

 largest cropper, with clean 

 sbsllow eyes. Cooks very 

 dry and mealy. 



Resembles the old favorite 

 Snowflake very much in appear- 

 ance and in cooking qualities. It 

 is, however, much more pro- 

 lific, and has the further 

 merit of being the nearest 

 to BUG-PROOF of any I'o- 

 tato we have ever groivn, the 

 bugs only attacking 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 Po- 

 tato, in size and shape, we con- 

 •ider this one perfect. Itishand- 

 ■ome in appearance, grows to a 

 large size, clear white, cooks 

 evenly and mealy, and possessing 

 that desirable flavor peculiar to 

 the Snowflake. The tops are re- 

 markably strong, growing up- 

 light, color dark green. Peck, 60 

 ctB.; bushel, 81.50; barrel, ?4.00. 



Mr. Carman in his potato trials 

 on the Rural New Yorker trial 

 grounds in 1896, found it by far 

 the largest yielder of any variety 

 grown, yielding at the rate of 

 645}^ bushels to the acre. 



Pride of Wisconsin — A variety of very superior merit, re- 

 markable in size and beauty of the tubers, whicH are ob- 

 long, round and smooth, of a beautiful rose color: very 

 productive. For good keeping qualities it has no su- 

 perior. Peck, 50cts.; bushel, $1.25; barrel 3 



r.abeside 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 remarkably 

 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, 50cts.; bushel, $1.25; baVrel S.OO 



The Bovee— An extra early Potato of more than ordinary 

 merit. It is a large yielder and remarkably vigorous. 

 The vines are dwarf and stocky, and the tubers grow close 

 together in a bunch close up to the vine, all being of good 

 marketable size. It is earlier than Early Ohio. Its cook- 

 ing qualities are equal to the best; always white, dry and 

 mealy. Peck,60cts.; bushel, 81.50; barrel 4.00 



Acme— A popular extra early Potato of the Ohio type, 

 maturing about ten days earlier than Early Ohio, and 

 yielding a much larger crop than that popular variety. 

 The tubers are uniformly large, smooth and shallow eyed. 

 Not the least of its good points is its excellent keeping 

 qualities— notwithstanding its earliness— remaining solid 

 in the cellar withnut sprouting until early the following 

 summer. Its cooking qualiiies are the best, always mealy 

 and of fine flavor. Peck,JOcts.; bushel, 31.25; barrel 



Carman No. 3— A seedling raised by Mr. Carman, which 

 in many resnec's resembles the well-known and popular 

 Rural New Vorker No. 2, but is destined to supersede that 

 well-known variety. It is of perfect form, even in dry 

 seasons, almost every Potato being of uniform size and 

 shape. It has very shallow eyes, which are few in 

 number. The skin and flesh are extremely white, with 

 no hollow or dark parts; a handsome Potato and enor- 

 mously prolific: cooking qualities very fine. Peck, 50 

 cts.; bushel, $1.25; barrel ." 3 00
