POTATOEvS. — Continued. 



We are pleased to state that our crop of seed potatoes this season is especially good and cannot fail to satisfy 

 all our customers. We would urge the importance of placing your orders early, as there is a strong demand for 

 Aroostook seed from all parts of the country, and we are unable to guarantee prices named after March i. 

 We will book all orders as received until our seed is sold. Northern orders, less than car lots, to be shipped 

 as soon as danger from frost is past, which is usually from March 20th. After March ist prices will be sub- 

 ject to market changes. Shall be pleased to quote market prices at any time. 



Our constant aim is, to make the highest quality the first consideration, and next, to put our prices as low 

 as reliable seed can be sold 



Customers desiring a choice or fancy grade should add 50 cents per bushel, $1.50 per barrel to list prices to 

 pay for close hand picking and waste.

 handsome tubers of good size 

 and excellent quality. The tubers 

 are a beautiful creamy white.
