New Potato-CRINE'S LIGHTNING 



A very valuable and distinct new extra early 

 sort, and though the vines and potatoes grow the 

 entire season the tubers cook well at any size. In 

 quality they are equal to the Carman No. 1, which 

 is all that could be desired, while in productive- 

 ness it outyielded largely Carman No. 1 and all 

 other medium and late sorts we had on trial. Its 

 most distinctive feature is its color, which maybe 

 described as a distinct russet, quite unlike that of 

 any other potato. Its form is well shown in our 

 photograph alongside. Prices for 1903 : Peck, 

 $1.00 ; bush., $3.00 ; barrel, $6.00. 



POTATOES BY MAII, 



All varieties of potatoes can be sent by 



mail, postage prepaid, at 30c. per pound ; 4
