Selected Seed Potatoes a SpecialtvJ 



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

 be the very best. Grown 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 incontestable their 

 position 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 

 a,nd most remunerative to growers. We pack all our potatoes in the full size, roiind-hoop flour barrel, 

 ■which is packed solid full and double headed, thereby being made to hold about three bushels, and 

 make no charge for barrels or cartage.

NEW EXTRA EARLY POTATO, THE BOYEE 



In our trials the past two 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." Prices for 1899 : Per lb., 40c.; 3 lbs., $1.00 ; 50 strong eyes, $1.00, by mail, 

 postpaid ; peck, 90c.; bush., $2.75 ; bbl., $6.00, by express or freight. 



NEW EXTRA EARLY POTATO, PRIDE OF THE SOUTH 



This is a white sport of the Bliss' Triumph, first found a few years ago in a large field of that 

 popular variety. In ripening the vines die down all at once, thus giving the blight, which works down 

 into the potatoes through the vine, no chance to work. It is a quick, strong and vigorous grower, and 

 in cooking qualities very superior. Prominent planters in the Southern States agree in pronouncing it 

 Tery productive and the most profitable potato they have ever grown, bringing from 50 cents to $1.00 

 per barrel above the price of Red Bliss' Triumph, on account of its beautiful white skin and handsome 

 Peck, 75c.; bush., $2.00 ; bbl., $1.50; 5 bbls. and over, $1.25 per bbl.
