BUCKBEE'S NOROTON BEAUTY 



The Quick Lunch Potato 



Is the finest Potato of its kind we have ever seen, and we believe all 

 up-to-date Potato growers should get a stock of the Noroton Beauty as 

 quickly as possible. The following is the description of this exceedingly 

 promising variety: 



The Noroton Beauty is the earliest Potato ever grown, being about two 

 weeks earher than the Early Rose. Large table size tubers have been growa 

 in sixty days. It is fully as productive as any main-crop or late sort; no 

 EXTRA EARLY variety yields nearly so heavily. It is handsome in appear- 

 ance, being a russety white ground, splashed with pink, and pinkish eyes, 

 and more uniform in size and shape than any otlier variety. The tubers ma- 

 ture simultaneously, a fact which, combined with its extreme earline.ss, 

 practically does away with danger from blight, or disease, or bugs. Its table 

 quality is superb; flesh is white, dry, and the flavor unsurpassed by any other 

 .■?ort: it keeps longer than any other variety, early or late. Prices, postpaid, 

 lb. 30c ; 3 lbs. 70c. By express or freight, not prepaid, i bu. 60c.; i bu. $1.00; 

 bu. (60 lbs. ) $1.75; 2i bu. $3.97.

POTATO SEED TESTIMONIAL. 

 Mrs. Emma Gray, Hillsdale, Pa., writes Nov. 17th, 1909- 



•Your seeds were fine, the Hybridized Potato Seed I planted and raised 137 Potatoes. There are 

 many ditlerent kinds, some long red, some round pale red and some round dark red, some round white 

 and some long white. I have one long red two inches long and three inches round and they are from 

 that size down to tlie size of a Pea and if they grow next year as they did this, some of them will be 

 large enough to use as they are fine." 



DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING AND CULTIVATING HYBRIDIZED POTATO SEED, 



Plant in a hot-bed, window-box, or warm border, early in the Spring — covering tlie seed one- 

 fourth inch with fine soil and press firmly. Water sparingly when dry. As soon as plants are up, give 

 them plenty of sunshine and air. Do not crowd them. When two or'three inches high and danger of 

 frost is past, transplant in rich soil two feet apart — and one foot in the row. Keep free of bugs by 

 careful picking, or cover plants with mosquito netting. Allow no weeds, and cultivate thoroughly. 

 When ripe, dig and store tubers carefully in a cellar until the next season, when plant same as mature 

 Potatoes. The tubers will grow from one-half inch to two inches or more in diameter the first season, 

 and in two or three years will attain their full development.
