The Freeman Potato 



25 Years of Triumph 



Sold lor $3.00 Per Pound in 1891 



The Freeman is a strong grower, contain- 

 ing fresh, vigorous blood. It is early in 

 reaching maturity; j ^uctive, and univer- 

 sally admitted to " he finest flavored 

 potato on the mark'^ 



The tuber is oval ^_. ;hape 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 keej)ing 

 qualities. From the time the tubers are as 

 large as hens' eggs until new potatoes come 

 the nest 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.

THE SNOW POTA I O. 



Pound, 30 cts.; 3 pounds, 75 cts., by mail, postpciid. 



\ 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 ]f«*' 

 ' 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, heavy 

 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 

 %-'s,; given the best of care and fertilization, it 

 1.- 3;^ wUl repay the planter most bountifully.

 desire and will bring fancy prices.

Pure Early Rose 



An Old Standard Favorite Sort 



Every farmer and gardener knows the old Early Rose x>ota- 

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

 except that ill treatment and neglect sometimes cause a ]X)or 

 or weak strain to be put on the market mider 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.
