 and the Best 

 Early Grown. 



HENDERSON'S Early Russet we believe to be not only 

 the earliest potato grown but the best early potato 

 grown. It is a seedling of 1903, bred from two famous 

 early varieties, and grown in Maine, the "potato paradise," 

 which produces the best seed potatoes in America. 



In earliness Henderson's Early Russet leads the field, 

 usually being large enough for cooking in eight weeks from 

 planting, and in 9 to 10 weeks is fully matured. 



It is a very handsome potato of rotuiding, oval form, 

 very uniform in shape and size, averaging 4 to 5 inches in 

 length — sometimes larger, seldom smaller. The eyes are 

 on the surface and very shallow. The skin of creamy-buff 

 is netted golden russet,, nature's hall-mark, as all critics 

 know, of potato quality — which axiom is fully sustained in 

 Henderson's Early Russet, for the flesh is fine-grained, 

 as white as snow, cooks dry and floury, "sheds its jacket" 

 when boiled, and its flavor is particularly mild and delicious. 



The vines, while of neat, compact, upright growth, make 

 large, healthy, foliage which has so far proven blight proof. 

 The tubers grow- bunched compactly in the hill, permitting 

 close planting, rows 2 to 2 J feet apart and hills 9 to 10 inches 

 apart, with only one eye to a hill. Under this 'method 

 the potatoes will grow as nearly alike as peas in a pod and 

 yield surprisingly large crops. 



Not the least of the merits of Henderson's Early Russet 

 is its wonderful keeping quality. Although it matures so 

 early yet it will keep— properly stored — in prime condition, 

 firm and plump, until June. (See cut.)
