SELECTED SEED POTATOES A SPECIALTY 



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 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. Special prices by letter on lots of 6 barrels and over.

Important Notice to Potato Buyers 



As prices are subject to market fluctuation, 

 we would request that our customers send in 

 their orders as soon as possible after receiving 

 our Manual. All orders will be promptly ac- 

 knowledged and potatoes forwarded as soon as 

 weather permits, in time for spring planting. Cus- 

 tomers residing South can have them shipped 

 at any time during the winter with little or 

 no ri,sk, but those residing North or West had 

 better wait until the extreme freezing weather 

 is over, in March or early April, which will be 

 in ample time for planting. To freeze potatoes, 

 when packed in tight barrels, requires extremely 

 cold weather. We ship each season several 

 thousand barrels seed potatoes to nearly all 

 sections, North, East and West, and rarely re- 

 ceive a complaint of freezing. 



POTATOES BY MATL. All the newer Tarleties 

 of potatoes will be sent by mail, postage prepaid, 

 at 30c. per pound ; 4 pounds for Sl.OO, correctly 

 labelled and packed.
