For seven years I watched the development of this grand early potato, 
and in 1901 I offered it to the public for the first time, but could not 
sell it except by the pound, nor in larger lots than eight pounds to one 
person. Now my stock is larger,and consequently I can offer it in more 
liberal quantities and on better terms. The variety is well named, for 
it comb’nes more good qualities than any other extra early potato. 
Judge E. F. Lawson, of Waynesboro, Ga., planted Eureka 
in circumference. While Mr. C. B. Eldred, Florence, Ala., 
from Eureka potatoes planted February 23d, dug a fine mess 
of potatoes on May 11th. Many of them 8 to 9 inches in cir- 
cumference. These are only two of many reports of a similar 
¢ character received from Southern customers. In the North 
* Eureka did equaily well. One of the largest growers of seed 
potatoes in Maine wrote me, under date of October Ist, that on 
Maule’s Four-Leaf Clover GUARANTEED SEEDS. Address all orders to WM. HENRY MAULH, No. 1711 Filbert Street, Philadelphia, Pa., U. 8. A 
Eurekas. Another case worth mentioning is where a grower 
who planted at the same time as Eureka, another Extra 
hali bushel,

there is no such busy place within the city limits as this 
during the months of February, March and April. Every 
floor has its special work to accomplish, so that the orders

EUREKA 
EXTRA EARLY POTATO 
THE COMING FAVORITE. 
None More Quick to Mature—None Finer—None More Proof Against Drought and Blight. 
None So Free From Second Growth. 
No potato grower can afford to overlook giving it a trial. 
As to its origin and history, the originator says of it: ‘‘Eureka Extra 
Early was a chance hill found growing in a field of Early Morn pota- 
toes, season of 1895. In looking over the field a single plant was noticed 
distinct from the rest, which died while all the others were still green. 
On digging, nine large tubers and several unmerchantable ones were 
found, which were slightly different in shape from 
the Early Morn. Every tuber was saved and 
planted the following spring. 
“Stock has been worked up ever since, and it has 
never failed to produce a large crop of extra early 
potatoes. The plant is dwarf and compact, ma- 
turing in advance of the Early Rose and Bovee. 
It never has had the blight. The tubers are round, 
Slightly flattened. White skin, free from disease. 
Flesh, white and mealy; no cores or black specks. 
Quality unsurpassed. 
“One point alone which makes it valuable is 
that it has never taken second growth, and resists 
drought b“tter than any other potato I have ever 
grown. Grown side by side with the Bovee in 1901 
it produced a third more large tubers, and matured 
ten days in advance of Bovee. The potatoes were 
perfect, while the Bovee took second growth.” 
One of the points which the past two years have 
emphasized is the ability of Eureka to resist 
second growth: that is, it has no tendency to pro- 
duce ill-shaped tubers when wet weather succeeds 
drought. Other varieties in comparison were 
4 badly effected, but the Eureka under the same 
| conditions retained its regular shape. 
Nothing inthis catalogue promises a greater 
money return, to those who invest in it, than this 
potato. An investment of $8.00 by one of my 
customers in Colorado, the first year I offered 
Freeman potato made a return of $2700 in actual 
cash inside of three years. The illustration is an 
exact representation of Eureka, drawn from na- 
ture. It shows a cluster from a single hill, re- 
duced in size. 
At this writing, October 3, 1908, I have already 
booked many orders for Eureka for spring delivy- 
ery, Something unusual so early in the season. 
Eureka is the Best Potato on the Market at the Present Time for the Southern Planter. 
Early, praised to the skies by many seedsmen, wrote me that 
February 15th, 1903, and sent me potatoes April 15th six inches | while the Eureka gave him a crop of close to 400 bushels to 
the acre he hardly got his seed back from the other. 
North, South, East or West, Eureka, the past year, which 
was not a good one for potatoes, came off with flying colors. 
One word in conclusion. I have what I think most people 
would call a large supply of Eureka to offer my customers 
this vear; but kKrowing the potato as I do, and from the way 
the demand has already started out, I do not believe I have 
half enough to go around, so that my customers desiring as 
much as a barrel or more of this potato the coming season 
should have their order in at the earliest possible date. 
Pound, 40 cents; 3 pounds, $1.00, by mail, postpaid. By express or freight, peck, 75 cents; 
$1.25; bushel, 
$2.25; barrel, $5.00. 



Since this illustration was made I have spent over $10,000 § 
on the building in renewing old fixtures and adding addi- 
tional ones to expedite the work; so, while there may be 
some establishments covering a larger area, there is none 
more complete. I have every modern appliance necessary to 
conduct an up-to-date seed trade. In the busy season more 
than 3,000 orders are shipped daily from this building.
