Seed Potatoes — 77 



Eureka Cxtra Carly Potato 



The Favorite Extra Early. 



None More Quick to Mature — None 

 Finer — None More Proof Against 

 Drought and Blight. None so 

 Free From Second Growth. 



For seven years I watched the development of 

 this grand early potato and In 1901 I offered it to 

 the public for the first time; but in very small 

 quantities, not more than 8 pounds being sold to 

 a single customer. Eureka has certainly been well 

 named, for it combines more good qualities than 

 any other extra early variety 1 Itnow of. 



As to Its origin and history, the originator says 

 of It : "Eureka Extra Early was a chance hill 

 found growing in a field of Early Morn potatoes, 

 season of 189.5. In looking over the field a single 

 plant was noticed distinct from the rest, which 

 Sled while all the others were still green. 



"Stock has been worked upever since, and it has 

 never failed to produce a large crop of extra early 

 potatoes. The plant is dwarf and compact, ma- 

 turing in advance of the Early Rose and liovee. 

 It never has had the blight. The tubers are round, 

 Bllghtly flattened. White skin, free from disease. 

 Flesh, white and mealy; no cores or black specks. 

 Quality unsurpassed. 



"One point alone which makes it valuable is 

 that It has never taken second growth, and resists 

 drought better than any other potato I have ever 

 grown. Grown side by side with the Bovee it 

 produced a third more large tubers, and matured 

 ten days in advance of Bovee. The potatoes were 

 perfect, while the Bovee took second growth." 



North, South, East and West, Eureka the past 

 summer came off with flying colors. I again 

 advise early orders, for while my stock is large, 

 the demand for Eureka Is simply astonishing, 

 and the chances are that I will be sold out early 

 in the season.

 paid, peck, SI. 00; half bushel, $1.50; bushel,

Green Mountain Potato. 



This is a most excellent late potato; it does remarkably well 

 on poor soils, and is very fi-ee from disease; it resists drought 

 wonderfully well, and produces tubers of large size and attrac- 

 tive appearance; flesh white. It is a good keeper, and when 

 put away in the fall will keep in good condition until time for 

 the new crop. Pound, 80 cents; 8 pounds, 75 cents, by mail, 

 postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, peck, 75 cents; 

 bushel, 82.00; barrel, 14.25. 



C. W. Angell, Taneytown, Md.— I have been planting your seeds for 15 

 to 18 years, and was tbe flrpt to introduce your Eureka potato in this 

 neighborhood, they are now the leading potato here. Some of my 

 friends told me if they had not planted the Eureka this spring, their 

 potato crop would have been a failure. 



Mrs. E. Krone, Elk City, Kan.— Your seeds have all been entirely satis- 

 factory. I never raised finer onions than from your seed. Chinese 

 Giant Peppers are magnificent, and Earliest of All Tomatoes are the 

 earliest I have ever grown. Luscious Sugar Pea can't be beat. 



C. J. Anspach, Mt. Airy, Pa.— This has been my first attempt at gar- 

 dening, and I have been very successful in every Instance where your 

 seeds were sown, but unsuccessful in almost every other case where seeds 

 purchased at grocery stores were sown. 



E. A. Goin, Havre, Montana.— I have used your seeds for 15 or 20 

 years, and find them to be all right; as good as any, and better than some. 



Louis Miller, Laramie, Wyo.— Your seeds are all right, fresh and good. 

 The best I ever had. 



Noroton Beauty or 

 Unele Gideon's Quick Lunch Potato. 



It was an unfortunate thing that this new potato should have been introduced by 

 two prominent seedsmen under different names; after thorough trial and investi- 

 gation, there is no question in my mind but that they are one and the same. It 

 is claimed by the originator to be the earliest potato ever grown; by far the most 

 productive e.xtra early, yielding as heavily as any of the medium early sorts, hand- 

 somer in appearance and more uniform in size and shape than any other variety; 

 table quality superb, and it keeps longer than any other sort, early or late, and is the 

 best all around potato in existence. Now while on my New Jersey farm, the potato 

 did fairly well, yet I do not by any means consider it equal to the Eureka, and on light 

 Bolls I am confident Eureka will outyield it two to' one. Furthermore, this potato 

 seems to be more liable to disease than it should be. Still, it is undoubtedly a very 

 good variety, and I have no doubt it will be largely advertised the coming season, bo I 

 take pleasure in offering my customers headquarters stock at the following prices :
