Selected Seed Potatoes a Specialty 



The Houlton or Aroostook County, Maine, Seed Potatoes are universally acknowledged to be 

 the very best. Grovpn in the cold Northeast, where nature and the elements alike decline existence to all 

 but the very hardiest varieties, they inherit those stable qualities which make incontestible their pos- 

 ition as leaders in the seed potato world. We make a specialty of and handle this seed solely. Pure 

 and true to name. The prices on this class of seed may rule somewhat higher than Western and New 

 York stocks ; but when quality and real worth are considered, they will be found by far the cheapest 

 and most remunerative to growers. We pack all our potatoes in the full size barrel, which is packed 

 solid full and double headed, thereby being made to hold two and three-quarters to three bushels, and 

 make no charge for barrels or cartage.

New Extra Early Potato — Junior Pride of the South 



Now Offered for Sale for the First Time 



■por Jseveral years we had inquiries from many large potato growers, especially in the Southern 

 States, for a first-class, white-skinned potato as early as the Red Bliss Triumph. The Pride of the 

 South, introduced by us a few years ago, seemed to fill the bill, judging from its large and increasing 

 sales. In the Junior Pr.de, seed of which is now offered for sale for the first time, we have a new sport 

 of the Pride of the South, surpassing it in yield and vi^or of growth, producing fully as earlj potatoes of 

 larger and more uniform even size. The Junior Pride is sure to become the leading extra early pure 

 white potato for market and shipping. Choice Maine grown seed, per peck, Sec; bush., $2.50; libl., 



^^° NEW EXTRA EARLY POTATO, THE BOVEE 



In our trials the past three seasons we have found the Bovee to be one of the earliest potatoes grown. 

 It is earlier than Early Ohio and uncommonly prolific for such an early variety. The vine is dwarf and 

 stocky, and the tubers grow remarkably close, all bunched together in the hill, close up to the vine, sizing 

 up to a marketable size more evenly than any potato we ever saw ; none too large or too small. The 

 Bovee has been tested the past two seasons by some of the largest potato growers and also at nearly all 

 the agricultural experiment stations, and there has been but one verdict from all : " The best extra 

 early potato ever grown." Peck, 70c. ; bush., $2.00; bbl.,14.50. 



THE EARLY THOROUGHBRED POTATO 



We think so highly of this new potato that a few years ago we paid the originator $25.00 per barrel 

 for our seed stock, and after giving it three years' thorough trial, we are more than ever convinced of 

 its great value. It is earlier than the Early Rose and has outyielded all early varieties we have ever 

 grown. The tubers are oblong in shape, very smooth and uniform, of light pinkish color, and simply 

 perfect in table quality. Peck, 50c.; bush., $1.50; bbl.,13.50. Special prices by letter on 5 bbls. or over.
