POTATOES 



MAIN CROP VARIETIES 



SNOWFLAKE JUNIOR — One of the best main crop varieties 

 resembling the old Snowflake in appearance and in cook- 

 ing qualities. It is, however, much more prolific and has 

 the further merit of being tlie nearest to BUG-PROOF of 

 any Potato we have ever grown, the bugs only attacking 

 it after all other varieties in sight have been disposed of. 

 As an all-around family or market Potato, we consider 

 this one perfect. It is handsome in appearance, grows to 

 a large size, clear white, cooks evenly and mealy. The 

 ' tops are remarkably strong, grovs^ing upright, color dark 

 green. Peck 85c; bushel $3.15; 5 bushels, $15.00. 



Sir W^alter Raleigh — ^A heavy yielding, standard main 

 crop variety, much in demand on account of its uni- 

 formly excellent qualities. Vines vigorous and largely 

 bug-proof; tubers large, fine-grained and clear white; 

 flesh dry and mealy when cooked; eyes few and shal- 

 low. Peck 85c; bushel $3.15; 5 bushels $15.00. 



Carman No. 3 — A standard main crop variety yielding 

 enormously. It is of perfect form, almost every Potato 

 being of uniform size and shape. It has very shallow 

 eyes, which are few in number. The skin and flesh 

 are white, with no hollow or dark parts; cooking qual- 

 ities very fine. Peck 80c; bushel $3.00; 5 bushels $14.50. 



Rural ]Ve«' Yorker No. 2 — An intermediate variety of ro- 

 bust habit, and a very abundant yielder producing 

 well-shaped tubers of slightly oblong shape and very 

 uniform in size. The skin is white and smooth with 

 few and shallow eyes. Better known as "Dusty 

 Rural." Peck 80c; bushel $3.00; 5 bushels $14.50.

Green Mountain — This Potato is noted for its heavy yields on 

 loose soils and muck land. It is a strong, vigorous grow- 

 er with a tendency to root deep. The tops are heavy and 

 branching, the foliage light-green and blossoms white. 

 The tubers are cylindrical or round, sometimes a little 

 flattened. The eyes are few and shallow; the skin white 

 and thickly netted, showing superior eating and cooking 

 quality, and the flavor is unusually fine, few Potatoes ex- 

 celling it in this respect. A main crop sort hard to beat 

 under favorable conditions. Peck 85c; bushel $3.15; 5 

 bushels $15.00. 



New Hybridized Potato Seed — From the seed balls — one of 

 the rarest of seeds. Will produce an endless variety of 

 new kinds. See page 6. Pkt. 15c; 2 for 25c; 5 for 50c; 

 10 for $1.00, prepaid.
