Maule’s 
Barly Thoroughbred. 
The Quickest Basket Filler. 
Maule’s Early Thoroughbred was 
first offered to the public in 1896, at 
$25.00 a barrel, since which time I have 
received hundreds of reports of field 
crops running up to 300 bushels per 
acre. On account of its earliness it is 
not much affected by the usual mid- 
summer and autumn droughts, while 
in keeping qualities it is unsurpassed 
by any late variety under cultivation. 
The illustration does not in any way 
exaggerate its smooth and handsome 
appearance. It produces an unus- 
ually large proportion of merchant- 
able tubers. The potatoes grow closely 
in the hill, and are of large and nearly 
uniform size. Mr. T. B. Terry, the well- 
known Ohio potato grower, made a 
comparative test of Maule’s Early 
Thoroughbred with a potato in favor in 
his neighborhood, the result being as 45 
to 15 in favor of the former, or at therate 
of 240 bushels an acre for Early Thor- 
oughbred Potato. “In every hill,” says 
Mr. Terry, ‘there were great large,

PURE EARLY ROSE POT 

Pure Early Rose. 
An Old Standard Favorite Sort. 
Every farmer and gardener knows the old Early Rose pota- 
to, and nothing need be said in its favor. It has no faults, 
except that ill treatment and neglect sometimes cause a poor 
or weak strain to be put on the market under the name of 
Early Rose seed potatoes. I have been at great pains, there- 
fore, to get a true, strong strain of Early Rose grown in the far 
North, for my stock, and I can offer it as the purest and best 
that can be had. Indeed it is the old Early Rose itself, as 
vigorous and productive as ever. Early Rose will never go 
out of fashion as long as the original stock can be obtained. 
Pound, 30 cents; 3 pounds, 75 cents, postpaid; By express or 
freight, not prepaid, peck, 75 cents; bushel, $2.25; barrel, $4.50. 

Date of Shipment 
Potatoes will be shipped at any date ordered during the winter, but at your own risk. Where no special instructions are 
= given to the contrary, I will hold same until in my judgment there will be no danger from freezing and then ship promptly.
