In drills 3 feet apart ; 10 to 12 bushels to the acre. 

 1 peck will plant about 125 bills. 



Our potatoes are all specially raised 

 for seed purposes, are " Northern

 quality this season. By recent enact- 

 ment the legal barrel of New York State 

 contains 174 lbs. of potatoes. Our bar- 

 rels contain 174 lbs. In comparing 

 prices this should be borne in mind, as 

 165 lbs. is the general standard. In 

 comparing our prices on potatoes, re- 

 member we make no charge for barrels 

 or cartage, and deliver F. 0. B., New 

 York, at prices quoted. Prices subject 

 to variation. We deliver all potatoes into 

 the hands of transportation companies 

 safely packed ; after that our responsi- 

 bility ceases. Purchasers must take all 

 risks from freezing or heating. 



"SIR WALTER RALEIGH." 



The product of one hill. Not a small 

 potato in the lot. 



EARLY VARIETIES. 



♦'EARLY NORTHER." Several days earlier than the Early 

 Rose, and equally prolific ; a most desirable sort. It is a strong, 

 vigorous grower, and the potatoes are bunched well together in 

 the hills. In shape it resembles the Early Rose ; the eyes are 

 tew and shallow. Its table qualities cannot be excelled, cooking 

 dry and floury, whether baked or boiled. Seems to do well 

 everywhere. 75c. peck, $2.25 bush., $4.50 bbl. 



QUEEN. A grand potato, closely resembling Beauty of Hebron 

 in appearance, color, size and shape, but is much earlier and a 

 heavier yielder. 75c. peck, S2.25 bush., $4.50 bbl. 



ROCHESTER ROSE. Of recent years the Early Eose has not 

 done well in some sections. The Rochester Rose, which we now 

 offer, is a seedling of the Early Rose, and is an improvement in 

 every respect. It will average larger in size, is not quite so early 

 and is a much heavier yielder. 75c. peck, $2.25 bush., $4.50 bbl. 



THE " BOVEE." (See next page, 33.) 



HENDERSON' S EARLY PURITAN. One of the most valuable 

 early varieties, entirely distinct from all other early sorts, the 

 skin being nearly pure white. It cooks dry and floury, and is 

 unequaled in quality. Awarded the medal at the American In- 

 stitute Fair. 80c. peck, $2.50 bush., $5.00 bbl. 



EARLY OHIO. Tubers almost round ; flesh solid ; cooks dry and 

 mealy ; very early. 80c. peck, $2.50 bush., $5.00 bbl. 



EARLY ROSE. The leading variety for earliness, quality and 

 productiveness. 75c. peck, $2.25 bush., $4.50 bbl. 



BEAUTY OF HEBRON. One of the best early sorts ; productive 

 and of excellent flavor; a good keeper; pure white skin and 

 flesh. 60c. peck, $2.00 bush., $4.25 bbl. 



CLARKE'S No. 1. Earlier than the Early Eose and very pro- 

 ductive. Cooks mealy. 75c. peck, $2.25 bush., $4.50 bbl. 



MAIN CROP VARIETIES. 



SIR "WALTER RALEIGH is from four to six days later than 

 the Eural New-Yorker ; the color of the skin is the same, but 

 the flesh is whiter and of better quality ; in fact, it is the whitest- 

 fleshed and finest-grained potato, excelling even the Snowfiake. 

 It is unquestionably the best of its type, and will soon supersede 

 all others for main crop. (See cut.) 



Price, 30c. lb.; 3 lbs., 70c; 5 lbs., $1.00, post or express 

 paid. If by freight or express, at purchaser's expense, deduct 

 8c. per pound. 



Price, 60c. peck, $2.00 bush., $4.00 bbl. By express or 

 freight, at purchaser's expense. 



NEW IDEAL. Yields a very much heavier ci-op than any of the 

 earlies; in fact, it outyielded several of the late potatoes. It is 

 a handsome potato, having a pink-russet skin. 80c. peck, $2.50 

 bush., $5.00 bbl. 



CARMAN No. 3. Of perfect form, even in dry seasons, almost 

 every potato being of uniform size and shape. It has but few 

 ■eyes, and they are very shallow. The skin and flesh are ex- 

 tremely white, no hollow or dark parts, and its cooking qualities 

 are exceptionally fine. 60c. peck, $2.00 bush., $4.25 bbl, 



"UNCLE SAM." On clay or heavy soils "UNCLE SAM" is 

 not a satisfactory potato and is apt to get coarse and unshapely, 

 but on a loam or sandy soil there is no potato which will outyield 

 it or give more satisfactory results. Its productiveness is largely 

 attributable to the uniform size of the potatoes, nearly all 

 sizing up alike, none too large and few too small, but its crown- 

 ing merit is its superb cooking qualities, which will ultimately 

 place "UNCLE SAM" on every table where quality in pota- 

 toes is appreciated. Its handsome, pure white, floury appear- 

 ance attracts the attention of all. The tubers are oval, with 

 pure white-russet skin, with very shallow eyes near the surface, 

 and are so handsome in appearance and perfect in form that they 

 will always bring an enhanced price upon the market. 60c. 

 peck, $2.00 bush., $4.00 bbl. 



CAMBRIDGE RUSSET. An exceedingly handsome russet po- 

 tato, the entire skin being heavily netted. A strong grower, 

 heavy yielder, remarkably free from disease and of superb 

 cooking qualities. 75c. peck, $2.25 bush., $4.50 bbl. 



LATE PURITAN. In the LATE Puritan we have a potato which 

 is identical with the Early Puritan in appearance, color and 

 quality, but far more productive. 75c. peck, $2.25 bush., $4.50 bbl.
