POTATOES 



Culture. — Any good well-drained fibrous loam will produce Potatoes under right climatic conditions. For early Potatoes, 

 which mature in 8 to 10 weeks from planting, the soil must be particularly rich. A rich clover sod, manured and broken the year 

 before and planted to corn, beans, peas, oats, etc., is in best shape for giving a good yield of nice clean Potatoes. Stable manure 

 had better be applied to the land the year before, while some good complete fertilizer, at the rate up to 1000 pounds per acre, if 

 applied broadcast, or 400 to 600 pounds if applied mostly in the rows, may be used directly for the Potato crop. Open furrows 3 

 feet apart and 3 to 4 inches deep. Apply the fertilizer, and run the furrower or small plow again in the furrow to mix the fertilizer 

 with the soil and leave a mellow seedbed. Then plant good-sized pieces, each containing not less than 2 or 3 eyes, 15 inches 

 apart in the furrows for early Potatoes, and 18 inches apart for late ones. In some of the large Potato sections the Potatoes are 

 always planted in check rows 3 feet apart each way. Cover with coverer, small plow or other suitable tool. Cultivate often. 

 Spray with Bordeaux Arsenate of Lead Mixture as a protection from flea beetle, potato beetle and blight. 8 to 10 bushels will 

 plant an acre. 



IMPORTANT. — Prices of Potatoes are subject to market changes. Potatoes are forwarded in sacks, by express or freight as directed, 

 purchaser paying charges. We assume no risk on Potatoes, which are shipped strictly on purchaser's responsibility. 



Dreer's New Early Standard. (See cut.) An 



extremely early new variety, which matures fully 



one week ahead of the Bovee. The tubers are 



produced abundantly, and are of a uniform size. 



The plants are of dwarf, compact habit in growth, 



strong, healthy, and withstand drought well. 



When the tubers are matured, the vines die 



down and do not make a second growth. It pro- 

 duces a large crop of smooth Potatoes, which are 



roundish in shape, beautiful white skin, very 



smooth and few eyes. The quality is very good, 



flesh being pure white and cooks very mealy. 



Peck (15 lbs.), 95 cts.; bu. (60 lbs.), $3.40; 



sack (165 lbs.), $9.00. 

 Bovee. Earlier than the Early Rose, and a much 



more productive variety. The vine is dwarf and 



stocky, skin pink or flesh color, presenting a fine 



appearance, and the quality is all that could be 



desired. Peck (15 lbs.), 85 cts.; bu. (60 lbs.), 



$3.00; sack (165 lbs.), $8.00. 

 Early Rose. We sell more of this variety than 



any other, as it is the leading early sort in 



almost all sections, as it matures early, is very productive 



and of good quality. The stock we furnish is northern- 

 grown, and is the true rose variety. Peck (15 lbs.), 85 cts.; 



bu. (60 lbs.), $3.00; sack (165 lbs.), $8.00. 

 Beauty of Hebron. Early; productive; of excellent quality. 



The flesh is white and it is a good keeper. Peck (15 lbs. ), 85 



cts.; bu. (60 lbs.), $3.00; sack (165 lbs.), $8.00. 



Irish Cobbler. One of the first varieties of Potatoes to be 

 ready for market, and therefore usually commands a good 

 price. The skin is creamy- white, sometimes netted, which is 

 an indication of good quality; eyes are strong, well developed, 

 and but slightly indented. The flesh is white and of fine 

 flavor. Peck (15 lbs.), 85 cts.; bu. (60 lbs.), $3.00; sack 

 (165 lbs.), $8.00.
