Early Fortune Seed Potatoes, 



AVERT handsome Potato which has made such unusual 

 development, both as to early ripening qualities, produc- 

 tion, and strong, vigorous growth, ath it is fast be- 

 coming very popular. It resembles the Early Rose in form 

 and color, except that it is slightly mottled or white around 

 the eyes. It is very early; in fact, probably the earliest Po- 

 tato grown, with the possible exception of the Red Bliss 

 Triumph, and is less liable to scab and disease than many of 

 Che other varieties,

EARLY SIX WEEKS SEED POTATOES. 



Said to be the earliest Potato now grown and 

 especially recommended for early market trade. 

 Grown under favorable circumstances, they are 

 ready for the table at 6 weeks from date of 

 planting, and fullv matured at 10 weeks. Grown 

 on our seed farm this season, it threw the largest 

 crop among many otlier varieties. Medium-sized, 

 very smooth-skinned, shallow-eyed and of fine 

 texture; in color, light pink.

PRIDE OF THE SOUTH, 



OR "WHITE BLISS 



TRIUMPH. 



This variety is a twin to 

 the Red Bliss Triumph in ev- 

 erything except color, it be- 

 ing white, with pin kej^es. In 

 ripening the vines die down 

 all at once, thus giving the 

 blight no chance to work. It 

 Is a quick, strong, vigorous 

 grower and very superior in 

 cooking qualities; used large- 

 ly in the South to grow for 

 Northern markets.

CLARK'S NO. 1 SEED POTATOES. 



A very early and vigorous variety, much resembling the 

 Early Rose in shape and color. It is regarded as rather ear- 

 lier and more prolific than the Early Rose, and has alreadj- 

 become quite popular, especially so in some of the Southern 

 States. It is an excellent table Potato of fine flavor, cooking 

 very mealv.

HOULTON EARLY ROSE SEED POTATOES 



Maine Houlton Early Rose Seed Potatoes. 



OUR STOCK is the genuine Early Rose, which still remains 

 the standard early variety. It is so true and superior 

 that Potato growers all over the North and Northwest 

 find it absolutely necessary, if they want to help the purity 

 of their stocks up, to annually get new seed from our Potato 

 Seed Farms in Aroostook County, Maine. We annually send 

 out thousands of bushels, which have given the most satis- 

 factory and profitable crops. It is about a week earlier than 

 tlie New York or Michigan Early Rose, more productive, of a 

 decidedly handsome appearance. Any gardener planting the 

 two side by side can never be persuaded to plant any other 

 Early Rose than our full-blooded Maine Houlton Aroostook 

 County grown.
