80 — Seed Potatoes 



THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1917 



MAULERS SELECT SEED POTATOES 



Culture Use 8 to 12 bushels of seed potatoes per acre. Cut to two or three eyes. Plant in rows 3 feet apart, and drop 15 to 18 inches apart In 



row. Cultivate constantly and thoroughly. Ridging with loose soil is often practiced, but it is not always necessary. 



The Freeman 



26 Years of Triumph 



The Freeman is a strong grower, contain- 

 ing fresh, \-igorous blood. It is early in 

 reaching maturity; productive, and univer- 

 sally admitted to be the finest flavored 

 potato on the market 



The tuber is oval in shape and russet in 

 color. The flesh is very white, both raw 

 and when cooked, fine grained and of best 

 flavor. The greatest merits of this variety 

 are its extreme earliness and long keeping 

 qualities. From the time the tubers are as 

 large as hens' eggs until new potatoes come 

 the next year they burst open when boiled 

 with their jackets on, and appear snow 

 white and floury. 



They grow very thickly and ripen sev- 

 eral weeks in advance of Early Rose. We 

 have frequently dug six to nine pounds 

 from a single hill, and in rich ground there 

 are few small ones. 



Ponnd, 40 cents; 3 pounds, $1.00, postpaid. 



THE FREEMAN POTATO. 



By express or freight, not prepaid, peck, $5 cents; bushel, $2.75; barrel (2| bos.) , $7.23. 



The Snow 



The Newest Money Maker 



This new main crop potato originated 

 in Maine, and after repeated trials in vari- 

 ous sections of the country has proved itself 

 to be of great value on account of its im- 

 mense yield, together with the fact that it 

 invariably produces very few small potatoes 

 and is now attracting wide spread attention. 

 In shape the 8now potato is roundish, 

 slightly flattened eyes on the surface; the 

 skin is well netted, which is nature's mark 

 of good eating quality. It is very fine 

 grained and flaky. Grows a large, he^A-y 

 top, dark green leaves, blossoms white. 

 This wonderful potato ought to have been 

 named the poor man's friend, for it will do 

 the best of any potato grown on poor soil, 

 wherever little care is taken of it, and when 

 given the best of care and fertilization, it 

 will repay the planter most bomitifully. 

 The Snow potato is just what the markets 

 desire and will bring fancy prices. 

 Pound, 30 cents; 3 pounds, 75 cents, by mail, postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, peck. 75 cents; bushel, $2.75; barrel (2| bus.) , $7.00. 



THE SNOW POTATO. 



Pure Early Rose 



An Old Standard Favorite Sort 



Every farmer and gardener knows the old Early Rose jwta- 

 to, and nothing need be said in its favor. It has no faults, 

 except that ill treatment and neglect sometimes cause a jtooT 

 or weak strain to be put on the market under the name of 

 Early Rose seed potatoes. We have been at great pains, there- 

 fore, to get a true, strong strain of Early Rose grown in the far 

 North, for our stock, and we can offer it as the purest and best 

 that can be had. Early Rose will never go out of fashion as 

 long as the original stock can be obtained. 



Poancl, 30 cts.; 3 ponnds, 75 cts., postpaid. By express or ft-elght, 

 not prepaid, peck, 75 cts.; basliel, S2.75; barrel (3'4 bus.), S7.00. 



Date of Shipment. 



Potatoes will be shipped at 

 any date ordered during the 

 winter, but at your own risk. Where no special instructions

 ment there will be no danger from freezing, then ship promptly.
