SEED POTATOES 



EXTRA EARLY OHIO 



This standard extra early sort matures 

 about two weeks before the Early Rose. 

 It is widely known an deservedly popular 

 in all parts of the country. It has given 

 better satisfaction over a wider range of 

 country than any other variety. The tu- 

 bers grow compact in the hill, are easily 

 dug, very few small ones, nearly all be- 

 ing of marketable size. They keep firm 

 till late in spring and by many preferred 

 for eating in winter. This variety is sold 

 by many as Extra Early Six Weeks. Our 

 choice Northern Grown seed is at least 

 ten days earlier than Southern grown 

 stock and will outyield them by far. Ex- 

 perienced gardeners will have no other 

 seed at any price. 



IRISH COBBLER 



A chunky white netted early potato of 

 splendid quality. Ripens one week later 

 than the Early Ohio, but has better qual- 

 ity. Form oval, and round, creamy-white 

 and having few eyes, which are quite 

 shallow. Flesh pure white and of the 

 finest quality, not exceeded by any early 

 variety. Keeps perfect until spring. Es- 



pecially suited to dry climates on account 

 of its deep roots. Its strong growth, 

 earliness, large yield, fine quality, and 

 very handsome appearance, is making it 

 one of the most popular and profitable of 

 the early varieties, for either market or 

 home use. 



RURAL NEW YORKER 



Preferred by large buyers because it is 

 large, unusually smooth, with few and 

 shallow eyes, skin w^hite as is also flesh, 

 which is of good quality. Medium late 

 and the best drouth resister. There is 

 no other potato of more handsome ap- 

 pearance than the Rural New Yorker. It 

 is very hardy and will stand the heaviest 

 manuring without getting scabby or spot- 

 ted. Under ordinary circumstances they 

 will yield from 300 to 400 bushels per 



SEED SWEET POTATOES 



These we can supply in any quantity to 

 those that want planting stock for sprout- 

 ing plants. They are generally put in the 

 hot bed from the 10th to 20th of April.
