SEED SWEET POTATOES 



We make a specialty of Seed Sweet Potatoes, growing 

 our stock exclusively in New Jersey, about nine miles from 

 our Philadelphia warehouse, where we have unequalled 

 facilities for handling and storing. New Jersey grown sweet 

 potatoes are everywhere acknowledged to be the best in 

 qualitv, being much dryer and sweeter than those grown 

 in the'Southand West, while their keeping and ghippmg 

 qualities are away ahead. We pack for shipment in boxes 

 and barrels, with greatest care; but as they are very suscep- 

 tible to climatic changes, we cannot hold ourselves respon- 

 sible for their condition after long journeys of several hundred 

 miles, and wisU it distinctly nnderstood that customers 

 take AL.L. RISKS after we deliver in good condition to the 

 express or railroad company here. We do not ship until 

 about planting time unless specially ordered to do so. Our 

 barrels contain three bushels— good measure. Full 

 and concise directions for bedding and sprouting the seed, 

 setting out and cultivating sweet potato plants, also harvest- 

 ing and storing for winter, will be found in our new Leaflet- 

 Essays on Sweet Potato Culture, wlilch we will send 

 free with all orders when requested to do so.

Vineland Bush Sweet Potato 



The New Vineland Bush Sweet Potato is bound to 



revolutionize sweet potato culture. It originated on the 

 farm of John Maytrott, the extensive sweet potato grower of 

 New Jersey, from the well-known Early Nansemond and old 

 Vineland Sweet Potato. It is a perfect bush, with no inclin- 

 ation for spinning, resembling a bean bush very closely. 

 The tubers grow directly under the stalk. They are most 

 abundant bearers, good flavor, handsome rich yellow color 

 and excellent keepers. Customers who have tried them say: 

 "They are simply perfection and a great improvement over 

 all other vineless potatoes heretofore sold." 



OF rNTEREST TO DAIRYMEN. Mr. Maytrott writes: 

 "From 2,000 plants I had in one patch I harvest«d 86 baskets 

 of prime potatoes, 35 seconds and 27 culls, making a total of 

 148J^ bushel baskets. I then had the tops, which average 3 

 pounds each, which made 6,000 pounds of green forage, which 

 was eaten with great relish by my cows. The milk was rich 

 and had a sweet, pleasant flavor. All other stock except 

 horses thrive on it. By planting in rows, 30 inches wide and 

 15 inches apart, one acre will contain about 14,000 plants. 

 With proper care you will have a fine crop of potatoes and 

 about Twenty-one Tons of Green Forage."

BIG Ton FIELD PUHPKIN 



This new pumpkin is the result of many years' selection 

 from the old Golden Marrow or Michigan Mammoth Pump- 

 kin. So carefully has the selection been made that the Big 

 Toms will run uniformly to more than twice the size and 

 weight. Skin and flesh are of a deep, rich orange color, of 

 excellent flavor for pies, etc., cooking soft and tender. For 

 table use and stock feeding no more profitable or better vari- 

 ety can be grown. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; y^ lb., 25c.; lb., 70o.
