THE MILWAUKEE. 



By far the best early Potato we have ever seen. It resem- 

 bles Crown Jewel in appearance, but of larger size and 

 very much superior quality. It is a strong grower with 

 verv strong tops, comes 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 until 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 

 Bust Proof. Peck, 50 cts.; bushel, S1.25; barrel $3.00 



carman no. 3. 



Cream City — The tubers 

 grow to a large size, white 

 fleshed, very sound and sol- 

 id, showing no tendency to 

 become hollow; they are of 

 excellent quality, and cook 

 delightfully dry and flaky. 

 Grown alongside of many 

 excellent early varieties 

 Cream city proved itself to 

 be worthy of first rank for 

 productiveness, size, qual- 

 ity and appearance. As a 

 keeper it is unsurpassed.

SNOWFLAKE 

 JUNIOR. 



The only Bug-Proof Pota- 

 to known. Handsome Crop- 

 per, with clean shallow eyes. 

 ■Cooks very dry and mealy. 



Kesembles the old favorite 

 Snowflakeverymuch in ap- 

 pearance, and in cooking 

 qualities. It is, however, 

 much more prolific, 

 and has the further 

 merit of being the near- 

 est to BUG-PROOF of 

 any Potato we have ever 

 grown, the bugs only at- 

 tacking 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 Potato, in size and shape, we 

 consider this one perfect. It is handsome in appearance, 

 grows to a large size, clear white, cooks evenly and mealy, 

 and possessing that desirable flavor peculiar "to the Snow- 

 flake. The tops are remarkably strong, growing upright, 

 color dark green. Peck, 60 cts.; bushel, 81.50; barrel. .. 4.00 



Pride of Wisconsin — A variety of very superior merit, 

 remarkable in size and beauty of the tubers, which are 

 oblong, round and smooth, of a beautiful rose color; 

 very productive. For good keeping qualities it has no 

 superior. Peck, 40 cts.; bushel, S1.25; barrel 3.00 



Lakeside 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, 40cts.; bushel, 81-25; barrel 3.00 



Livingston's Banner— A handsome and very uniform 

 medium-sized late Potato. Its shape is a little oblong and 

 slightly flattened, the eyes are few and very shallow, thus 

 securing economy in paring. It seems almost entirely 

 blisht and scab-proof. The size is large and desirable, very 

 few being under market size, always regular in form and never 

 produces prongy or hollow tubers. The yielding qualities are of 

 the highest order. In habit of growth it is strong and vigorous from 

 the very start, and during the past two dry seasons has proven a great 

 drouth resister. The flesh is very white and cooks dry and mealy. Peck, 

 50 cts.; bushel, $1.25; barrel 8.00 



Carman Xo. 3 — A seedling raised by Mr. Carman, -which in many respects resembles 

 the well-known and popular Rural New Yorker No. 2, but is destined to supersede that 

 well-known variety. It is of perfect form, even in dry seasons, almost every Potato be- 

 ing 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,50cts.: bushel, $1.25; barrel 3.00 



Early Ohio— The most popular extra early Potato known, and a great favorite with market growers. 

 We can offer this year a selected stock of True Early Ohio speciallv grown for seed purposes.
