CEEAM CITY 



Ohio Junior— Resembles the parent, Early Ohio; but rounder and a 

 larger yielder; quality excellent and a good keeper. Peck, 50 cts.; 

 bushel, $1.50; bbl $4 00 



Badger State— A large yielder, tubers large, oblong, white, of excellent 

 quality. Peck,50cts.; bushel, $1.50; bbl 4 00 



Pride of Wisconsin— We fully realize from the numerous testimonials 

 we have received, that in this Potato we possess a variety of very 

 superior merit. Every letter we receive testifies to the remarkable size 

 and beauty of the tubers, which are oblong, round and 

 smooth, and of a l^eautif ul rose color; and also corrobor- 

 ates what we said regarding its great productiveness 

 and excellent shipping and household qualities, and 

 fine flavor. For good keeping qualities it lias no super- 

 ior. Peck, 50 cts.; bushel, $1.50; bbl 4 00 



The Milwaukee— An excellent New Early Potato re- 

 sembling Crown Jewel in appearance but of larger 

 size and very much superior in quality. It is a strong 

 grower with very strong tops, comes into use fully 

 as early as Early Sun/rise, 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 witli- 

 out sprouting imtil very late ip the season. If grown 

 in rich hlacTi 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 Must Proof. Mr. W. S. Brown, 

 Edgerton, Wis. , writes, "that while other varieties along 

 side were very bad with rust The Milwaukee was en- 

 tirely free from it." Peck, 60 cts.; bushel, $1.75; bbl... 4 50 



The Potato may be grown with varying success on soils 

 of all kinds, but the soil best suited to it is sandy loam. But 

 little manure is required if the soil is good. 

 10 bushels cut tubers to the acre. 



The Potatoes we offer are specially raised for us for seed 

 purposes. 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. 

 Cream City— Compared with many excellent Potatoes 

 grown alongside of the Cream City, it has yielded 

 almost double the quantity of tubers, and not only 

 did it produce more, but the Potatoes were all of a 

 very superior quality, and not in any case did it 

 show a disposition to decay or blemish, so prevalent 

 among Potatoes in many parts of the country. It is 

 the best early Potato we have ever seen. In habit 

 of growth and general appearance it resembles the 

 Early Ohio, with this decided difference, however, that while the shape 

 is almost identical with that very popular variety, the flesh is %mre 

 white. The tubers grow to a large size, but are always sound and solid, 

 showing no disposition whatever to become hollow. They are matured 

 very early, and are of excellent quality, and cook remarkably quick, 

 and are invariably most delightfully dry and flaky, very much like that 

 old favorite, Snowflake. And not the least of its many good quaUties 

 is its remarkable productiveness. As a Itceper it is unsurpassed. 

 Peck, 60 cts.; bushel, $1.75; bbl $4 60

SNOWl'l^AKE JUNIOR. 



THE MILWAUKEE. 



Snowflake Junior— As the name implies, this new Potato 

 resembles the old favorite Snowflake very much in 

 appearance and in cooking quahties. It is, however, 

 much more prolific, and has the further merit of 

 being the nearest to BUG-PROOF of any Potato 

 we have ever seen grown. The bugs only attack- 

 ing 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 all rovmd family or market potato we know of no 

 better. It is handsome in appearance, grows to a large 

 size, clear white, cooks evenly and mealy, and possess- 

 ing that desirable flavor peculiar to the Snowflake. 

 The tops are remarkably strong, growing upright, color 

 darkgreen. Peck, 60 cts.; bushel, $1.75; bbl 4 50 



Alexander's Prolific— This variety has produced very 

 large crops and still one of the best main crop potatos. 

 Peck, 50 cts.; bushel, $1.50; bbl 4 00 



The Koshkonong— A medium early Potato, producing a 

 heavy crop of large tubers, which resemble the Snow- 

 flake in appearance. It is an excellent cooker; color 

 almostwhite. Peck,50cts.; bushel, $1.50; bbl 4 00 



Early Ohio— One of the best early sorts so well known as' 

 to require no special description. It is a splendid 

 keeper, cooks dry and mealy and is a general favorite. 

 Pkt.,50cts.; bushel, $1.50; bbl 4 00
