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. 



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. 



THE MILWAUKEE. 



Yields more than any other. Unsurpassed in fine 

 cooking qualifies. 



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



is a strong grower with very 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 qual- 

 ity. And not the least of its good qualities is the fact that it 

 is almost entirely Rust Proof. Peck 50c; bush. $1.50; bbl. . $4J0O 



Early Michigan — A favorite 

 early Potato of superior 

 quality. It resembles 

 Early Ohio in its general 

 appearance, with this dif- 

 ference, however, that the 

 flesh and skin is white. It 

 matures rapidly, is a good 

 keeper, cooks dry and 

 mealy. Peck 40c; bushel 

 $1.35; barrel $3.50

CAIMAN NO. 3. 



SNOWFLAKE JUNIOR. 



THE MILWAUKEE. 



SNOWFI^AKBJ JUJVIOR. 



Conceded to be the Best Main Crop Potato on the market. The 



nearest Bug-Proof Potato 

 known. By far the largest 

 ■SfiSllliSk. Cropper, with clean, shal- 



low eyes. Cooks very dry 

 and mealy. 



Resembles the old favor- 

 ite Snowflake very much in 

 appearance and in cooking 

 qualities. It is, however, 

 much more prolific and has 

 the further merit of being 

 the nearest to BUG-PROOF 

 of any Potato we have ever 

 grown, the bugs only at- 

 tacking it after all other 

 varieties in sight have 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 po- 

 tato, in size and shape, we 

 consider this one perfect. 

 It is handsome in appear- 

 ance, grows to a large size, 

 clear white, cooks evenly 

 and mealy and possessing 

 that desirable flavor pecu- 

 liar to the Snowflake. The 

 tops' are remarkably strong 

 growing upright, color dark 

 green. Mr. Carman in his 

 potato trials on the Rural 

 New Yorker trial grounds in 1896, found it by far 

 the largest yielder of any variety grown, yielding 

 at the rate of 645% bushels to the acre. Peck 50c; 

 bushel $1.50; barrel $4.00. 



Red River Early Ohio — It is generally conceded that 

 Early Ohio is the most popular Potato in this 

 country. Eastern stocks of it are run out so 

 badly that in order to get renewed vigor and 

 purity we have them grown in the Red River 

 Valley, famous for the excellent quality of the 

 Potatoes' it produces. One has only to see the 

 stock to at once realize how superior it is. The 

 greatest care is taken in the selection of the 

 seed, so that we have a stock of this old favorite 

 that is perfect. Peck 50c; bushel $1.50; barrel. $4.00 



Lakeside Champion — A late white variety, maturing 

 along with Burbank and resembling in appearance 

 the well-known Beauty of Hebron. It is, how- 

 ever, longer and larger than that variety, very 

 productive and remarkably fine-grained, possess- 

 ing 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 40c; bush. $1.35; bbl.. $3. 50 



Carman No. 3 — A seedling raised by Mr. Carman, 

 which in many respects' resembles the well-known 

 and popular Rural New Yorker No. 2, but it des- 

 tined to supersede that well-known variety. It is 

 of perfect form, even in dry seasons, almost every 

 potato being of uniform size and shape. It has 

 very shallow eyes, which are few in number. The 

 skin and flesh are extremely white, with no hol- 

 low or dark parts'; a handsome Potato and enor- 

 mously prolific; cooking qualities verv fine. Peck 

 40c; bushel $1.35; barrel $3.50
