P OLARIS 



The New Queen. - 



Very Early, Extra Quality an Immense Yielder, 

 Especially Adapted to All Sections. 



This excellent early potato comes from the State of Maine, 

 from where during the last ten years or more, it has been sent 

 to all sections of the United States, and has given the best of 

 satisfaction to all who have planted it. 

 It is certainly a very fine, large si/o 

 early potato, resembling the White ]•-!- 

 ephant and Beauty of Hebron in shapi^ 

 and color. In addition to being vei> 

 early, they are of excellent quality, as 

 well as a superior yielder. One plant i 

 reports that the Queen, planted App 

 13th, were ready 

 days after planti 

 count of their ex 

 was able to sell 



phia market at $1.50 per bushel, wh< m 

 a week or ten days later, on account ''I | ,j;'| 

 a tremendous crop all over the counir' iijl 

 potatoes were only bringing about "■•' '-■' 

 cents per bushel. I have a remarkabK 

 choice stock of The Queen potat'u - 

 this season, which I take pleasure in 

 offering my customers as follows : 



Pound, 30 cents; 3 pounds, 75 cents; 

 by mail, postpaid. By express or freight, 

 peck, 75 cents; bu., $2.00; bbl., $4.00. 



The Polaris. 



North, South, East and West, from the 

 Pacific to the Atlantic, the Polaris has 

 made an enviable name for itself. 



For j-ears the demand has been so great for 

 this superb potato as to nearly always exhaust 

 the supply, my sales annually runnirig into the 

 carloads. The Polaris is of long, oval shape and 

 a creamy white in color, cooking as white as the 

 finest flour. It originated by nature's own pro- 

 cesses; is hardy, prolific, handsome, early and a 

 good keeper, and as a table variety has no su- 

 perior. With the originator, it has"^ yielded at 

 the rate of 600 bushels per acre. It has certain- 

 ly made for itself a wonderful record during the 

 last few years, wherever grown. There is no 

 question in my mind but that the Polaris is one 

 of the best early potatoes, and not one of my customers in- 

 vesting in this variety will ever regret his purchase. I would 

 respectfully solicit early orders, and thus run no chance of 

 being disappointed. If you desire Simon-pure stock of the 

 Polaris send your order direct to headquarters. 

 Pound, 30 cents; 3 pounds, 75 cents, by mail, postpaid. By 

 express or freight, peck, 75 cents; bushel, $2.00; barrel, $4.00. 



'in 



Victor Rose. 



One of the best main crop potatoes ever offered. 

 On my trial grounds it has always made big 

 yields, none other excelling it. 



In my estimation this is one of the greatest main crop po- 

 tatoes extant to-day. It contains more new blood, more vigor, 



V ICTOR 



better quality and greater ability to yield enormously than 

 any variety of its class. It has yielded in common field cul- 

 ture, 383J bushels per acre. Samples of Victor Rose were sent 

 out to ali sections of the United States, and wherever planted, 

 either on light sandy soil or heavy ground, whether the sea- 

 son was wet or dry, it has, in every case, made a great record. 

 It is a seedling of the Reeve's Rose which dates back to the 

 Early Rose, and although ten or fifteen days later than the 



early varieties, it is certainly a 

 wonderful potato and should 

 be planted by everj'one wishing 

 a perfect intermediate variety. 

 The skin is perfectly smooth, a 

 handsome pink in color, entire- 

 ly free from all disease, eyes are 

 prominent but very shallow; 

 1 ape, is oblong to long, ends 

 ! nearly square, in fact, it is 

 e of the best shaped potato I 

 ve ever seen.
